THE ORIGINAL

You and your brother Luigi are taking care of some plumbing problems underground when trouble starts. Out of the pipes come Turtles, Fighter Flies and Crabs. They look dangerous and they're heading your way! You have to run fast, jump high, and kick to stay ahead of these rascals. They're out to get you--but good!

GAME PLAY: The aim of the game is to use your lightning speed and fast footwork to wipe out these sewer pests before time runs out! Punch a bad guy, and he's down but not out.
