PLAYING THE GAME
LEVEL 1 : The Film Studio
There are 4 different area settings in the film studios where there are 7 parts of a rabbit costume which need to be collected by Michael so as he can disguise himself from his fans. Avoid at all costs Granny and her Grandson, the cowboys on horseback, the Biff brothers and the Japanese tourists as they will take one of your coveted Platinum discs. Once you have collected the complete rabbit suit and the 4 special items you must find the waiting motorbike to escape to Michaelsville.
LEVEL 2 : Michaelsville
Unfortunately Mr Big has seen through your disguise and tipped off your fans too. Road blocks have been set up which divide the town into sections. Bright shining orbs have to be collected whilst you're on your motorbike to transform you into a glittering Stratus sports car able to leap the barriers. This effect lasts for only 10 seconds so choose your path with care. If you fail to make it, you will need a fresh set of orbs. As you zoom around the streets, Mr Big's drug hoards can be destroyed by running over them. Occasionally you can also run over a trooper before he gets ahead of you. If you get far enough, then it's only a jet-ski ride from freedom, that is if the Biff brothers don't get you.
LEVEL 3 : Club 30's
So you think you're safe in Club 30's? Not for long as Mr Big has discovered your hideout and means to dispose of you smartly. Trooper guards suddenly appear at windows and doors, but so do the children, so be careful. Without your disguise a gun and ammunition must be found so you can tackle Mr Big's task force. Act swiftly to guide the children to safety.
LEVEL 4 : The Arena
Mr Big has kidnapped Katy to lure you to his lair for what must surely be the final confrontation. Troopers and Storm Troopers are gathered together to finish you off with their powerful laser guns. Take out each foe as they appear, but beware the mighty plasma cannon that Mr Big has installed as you need to destroy it before it destroys you. Can you survive to take the children to safety?

"A very colourful and joyful game on the CPC (not a direct port of the arcade tho) that will offer you lots of fun (still not worth £200 on eBay tho! ;) ). Beat it!"

"The arcade game was absolutely spot-on, the console versions (Mega Drive etc) are pretty legendary while the 8-bit versions are just about average. It certainly isn`t a bad game but there was definitely room for some improvement."
