 In one-player mode, the player must choose one of the "Original Six Warriors" to control.Instead of fighting other characters in a random order like in most fighting games back then, the player will move the sword-shaped cursor on a map to choose any region one of the other characters are inside of, fight against them in each battle and then advance to the Golden Castle.In both one-player and two-player modes, each round is five minutes long, and if neither of the characters are knocked out before the time runs out, the one with the most health wins the round; however, if both lifebars are even, the players must fight in a rematch.
