Monster Maulers, known in Japan as Kyukyoku Sentai Dadandarn (究極戦隊ダダンダーン lit. "Ultimate Squad Dadandarn"), is a 1993 fighting game/beat 'em up hybrid arcade game developed and published by Konami.
Gameplay
Similar to modern fighting games such as Capcom's Street Fighter II and SNK's Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, the focus of the game is one-on-one fights versus giant enemies. Several of said enemies are references to or bosses in other Konami games, such as Gradius and its spin-off, Salamander. When playing two-player mode, both players can team up to do secret special moves.
Plot
The three main protagonists are Kotetsu, Anne and Eagle, members of the "Ultimate Task Force". A trio of evil villains unleashes a swarm of monsters to terrorize countries of the world, sending the three heroes on a mission to end the disaster. There are two endings in the game.
Characters
- Kotetsu - a fighter/brawler hailing from Japan. He is the balanced-type character.
- Anne - a martial artist hailing from England. Her abilities match of both speed and skill.
- Eagle - a pro-wrestler hailing from America. He is the power-type character.
