Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja

Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja is a side-scrolling beat ’em up in which street fighters Blade and Striker are recruited to rescue President Ronnie from the DragonNinja clan. One or two players fight through seven timed stages set in city streets, atop a moving truck, inside a sewer, through a forest, aboard a freight train, within a cave, and inside the enemy’s underground headquarters.

The characters can walk, crouch, jump, and move between upper and lower routes found throughout many stages. Their attacks include punches, kicks, jumping strikes, and a stronger energy attack charged by holding the attack button. Most ordinary ninjas are defeated with a single hit, but different varieties use swords, shuriken, caltrops, acrobatics, attack dogs, or fire. Knives and nunchaku provide temporary weapons, drink cans restore health, and clocks extend the remaining time. Each stage ends with a more durable boss, including a guest appearance by Karnov.
