👓 Lonster's Review:
Fun and lighthearted; charming visuals and cooperative action make it stand out, though it lacks depth compared to top-tier beat‑’em‑ups.
🌟 Legacy:
Cult classic status—rare in collections, occasionally seen at Capcom retrospective events.
✨ Cultural Impact:
Showed that even big genre players can take playful risks—Capcom didn’t shy from cartoon silliness.

A quirky, overlooked piece that’s pure retro fun — ideal for fans of cute co‑op beat‑’em‑ups in arcade lineup.
