==Gameplay==
The game is divided into five floors. Players use the A button to punch, the B button to kick, and pressing up makes Thomas jump. By combining up with A or B simultaneously, Thomas can perform aerial punches or kicks. Each floor ends in a boss fight. The bosses vary, requiring strategic use of punches and kicks to defeat them. Upon clearing the second and fourth floors, players are treated to a cutscene showing the kidnapped Sylvia crying for help as an evil laugh can be heard. Once Mr. X is defeated on the fifth floor and Sylvia is saved, the game loops from the beginning at a higher difficulty.
