Gaea is a resident of Fauna Island, a peaceful place where its inhabitants live freely and safely under her protection. Armed with her Super-Strength, ability to fly and iconic yellow and black Spiky Hair, she's fought off all who dared to endanger the island and the people who live there. One faithful day, the island suddenly comes under attack by a recurring foe: Captain Dr. Surriv. Planting his mechanical army all over the island, their orders are to completely turn every part of it into rubble; upon which he'll build his ultimate base of operations on his journey to world conquest. Learning of the invasion, Gaea wastes no time at all getting into action to save the day once again.

- Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud: There are tornadoes in phase two of Minor's fight that are only dangerous when he touches them.
- Easter Egg: There are a number of them hidden within the various areas that the bosses are fought in. They're all references to other games that served as an inspiration.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: As one of the loading screens puts it: "if you think something can hurt you, chances are it probably will."
- High-Speed Battle: Gaea and the bosses never stop moving during their battles.
- Hit Spark: A green spiked circle appears when Gaea successfully hits a boss, a purple spiked circle appears when a boss successfully hits her and a purple cross when Gaea is unable to hurt a boss at that point or in that way.

- Songs in the Key of Panic: The music speeds up at the third phase of bosses in Hard Mode, Syphyous Mode and The Gauntlet.
