How to Play
You control MagMax, the player. MagMax begins as a body part, but as you
assemble all four parts. the robot gains power and begins to attack his
enemies with his beam gun. Guide MagMax through four locations: forest,
desert, sea and automated city. With the Warp Hall, you can also move between
the surface and underground. After you complete the battle in the desert and
the automated city, you will have to confront Babylon, the gigantic mechanical
robot.

Attack the chasing enemies and other objects with energy beam by pushing
Button A or B.
- Move up and down between the surface and underground through the Warp Hall.
- When you put MagMax's head and legs on, he becomes a robot. Each additional
body part increases the number of bullets he can shoot.
When MagMax is touched by the enemy, enemy's bullet, and/or obstacles, one
turn is over. However, when the player has already attached MagMax's parts and
touches one of these objects, the parts will separate and explode, but MagMax
will survive. When all MagMaxes explode, the game is over.
