Difficulty Spike: Levels 7 and up make the first half of the game look like cake.
It's Hard, So It Sucks!: The game often gets even harsher criticism than Battletoads due to the greater amount of Fake Difficulty and often unbearable controls combined with equally sadistic level design.
Suspiciously Similar Song: Not unexpectedly, an ersatz version of the oldie rock song "Shake, Rattle & Roll" serves as the title theme.
That One Boss: Ice Foot, the final (and only) boss. Requires a bazillion-hit combo to kill, if you hesitate in your attacks he returns to full strength. Also, there's boulders.
