The game's plot involves Spider-Man battling through levels featuring these villains, each with unique environments and challenges. Midway through the game, Venom kidnaps Mary Jane Watson, adding urgency to Spider-Man's mission. Players must navigate platforming challenges, defeat enemies, and utilize Spider-Man's web-slinging and combat abilities to progress. The game's climax involves rescuing Mary Jane from a deadly trap set by the Kingpin and confronting him in a final battle. Success leads to a good ending where the Kingpin is arrested, while failure results in a bad ending with the bomb detonating and Spider-Man being wrongly apprehended.
