* '''Grapple''': To perform this move, you must make Popeye walk up to his opponent, then press {{kbd|O}} and {{kbd|P}} (or wiggle the joystick left and right) repeatedly, to grab him; the power meters at the top of the screen will show both Popeye and the alien's energy levels. If Popeye fills his meter before the alien, he will go into a '''headlock''' (which involves more rapid key-pushing, or joystick-wiggling, to fill his power meter again!) - and again, if Popeye fills his meter before the alien, you can press {{kbd|Space}} (or the joystick button) to make him perform a '''piledrive''' after which he can try for a '''pin'''. | *'''Grapple''': To perform this move, you must make Popeye walk up to his opponent, then press {{kbd|O}} and {{kbd|P}} (or wiggle the joystick left and right) repeatedly, to grab him; the power meters at the top of the screen will show both Popeye and the alien's energy levels.

* '''Kick''': Push the key which corresponds with the direction Popeye is facing (or push the joystick in that direction), then press {{kbd|Space}} (or that joystick's button); however, pressing {{kbd|Q}} (or pushing the joystick up) causes him to '''jump''' instead, and if Popeye walks to either corner of the ring and does that, he will jump off the ropes. To '''pin''' an alien, walk over to him when he is lying flat in the ring, stand over him, and press {{kbd|Space}} (or the joystick button) - and the alien's energy must be low enough for Popeye to hold him down for three seconds, otherwise he will get back up again. | *'''Kick''': Push the key which corresponds with the direction Popeye is facing (or push the joystick in that direction), then press {{kbd|Space}} (or that joystick's button); however, pressing {{kbd|Q}} (or pushing the joystick up) causes him to '''jump''' instead, and if Popeye walks to either corner of the ring and does that, he will jump off the ropes.

* '''Turbo Typhoon''': When Popeye collects a can of spinach (thrown into the ring by Olive Oyl), his attacks will become more powerful, for a short period of time; he'll also automatically go into this move from a successful '''grapple''' after collecting a can. In a two-player game, the second player (controlling Torquos, Popeye's first opponent) may not perform the '''piledrive''' or '''turbo typhoon'''. | *'''Turbo Typhoon''': When Popeye collects a can of spinach (thrown into the ring by Olive Oyl), his attacks will become more powerful, for a short period of time; he'll also automatically go into this move from a successful '''grapple''' after collecting a can.
