The game is composed of six left-to-right side-scrolling stages in which Riki faces different types of underlings (depending on the stage), facing occasional sub-bosses at mid-points of certain stages. At the end of each stage, Riki must confront the stage's boss, each being susceptible to only one type of attack. The player must exploit their opponent's weakness and use it to finish the boss off. Many of the bosses can be beaten by repeatedly pressing the kick button, but some of the bosses must be attacked in a specific way to be defeated. | ||
