An excellent side-scrolling beat em up game.

We play with a beautiful teen actress named Momo, through various theater levels, she must face of all enemies from the 'Warudemon' Phantom Army, with kicks and double kicks and must pick up a tornado item to get the ability to turn into 'Wonder Momo' using his super suit that lets throw his 'Wonder hoop' and the powerful 'Wonder Typhoon'.

When you reach the end of each level, a boss appears and has to be defeated to unlock the next stage.
