Gameplay

The objective of the game is to progress as much as possible while surviving the attacks of Magneto and his henchmen. The character can move to all directions, jump, hit and also has a special attack that is activated with an extra button. The latter is very effective, but it will cost you a few health points. Normally, a character who has less than four health points can no longer use any mutant powers, but it is also possible for characters to gain additional mutant powers that can be stored as items. In the Japanese version, power items are consumed before health, and there are also power-ups and health packs at all levels.
