	\|~~Platform(s)\|\|Sega Saturn~~		\|gameplay=The game follows a linear structure across numerous short levels where players battle hoodlums, police officers, and other urban foes. The roster includes Bouya and Rindaman, with additional characters unlockable by defeating them in combat. The narrative spans five story arcs from the manga, culminating in a rooftop showdown against Zetton.
	\|-		\|forklifts=During the side-scrolling progression, a yellow forklift appears as an environmental obstacle. This unit is controlled by a non-player character (NPC), adding a motorized hazard to the street-brawling gameplay typical of the genre's industrial and dockside stages.
