Story

While visiting the planet Clancer, Professor Theo is kidnapped by the Empire, acting upon orders from their emperor, while Marina is out scouting.^[2] Upon realizing Theo's abduction she sets out to rescue him.
Marina proceeds to travel through over 50 levels on Planet Clancer to find her master. Every person, animal, and inanimate object on the planet (including the planet itself) has an identical "face", seemingly belonging to a species called 'Clancer'. Along the way Marina attempts to rescue the professor but she is repeatedly impeded by agents of the Empire, whom she must defeat to rescue the professor.

Gameplay

Marina's main way of attacking is her grab move. She is able to take hold of enemies, objects, weapons and even some enemy projectiles or attacks, which can be thrown or shaken, depending on the object. When certain objects are shaken, items such as crystals might appear. When Marina shakes some other objects, a secondary effect may be activated.
Later on in the game, Teran is available to play in two levels. His moves includes a standard punch, upper punch, low kick and a block move. He also has the ability to hang from ceilings His signature skill is the ability to jump up to five times consecutively.
Hidden within every stage is a yellow gem. These gems are used in the final cutscene of the game with every gem adding one to three seconds to the ending. This extended ending adds character development to the villains. The way the yellow gem appears differs from stage to stage. For example, the yellow gem will only appear on the boss stages if the boss is defeated without Marina being hit.
