Using the 2-player co-op option, Rick and Ben begin the game, playing through some of the first stage. Ben runs out of lives fairly quickly, leaving Rick to play through a bit more of the level before following him. They try again, this time managing to reach the end of the stage and defeat the boss. They move on to the second stage, an odd top-down level that requires them to clear a number of enemies from the streets. Ben dies when fighting the level's boss, leaving Rick to finish it off on his own. He eventually does so, and begins the third stage, where both players quickly run out of lives.
