Inside Mug Smashers
What it is
Mug Smashers is an early 90's western-developed two-player arcade brawler that's basically a combination of Combatribes and Final Fight. It has suspiciously similar sprites and music to the former but plays more like the latter with its scrolling stages and lack of ground attacks or tornado throws. It has an absurd visual style including a main character that's wearing red leopard pants and white sunglasses.
The premise
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before! Officer Sheila (no last name given) is investigating a drug and arms dealer named Mad Dog. Once Mad Dog catches wind of this, he has the officer kidnapped. After finding this out via the newspaper, seriously look at the attract mode for this game, her brother Axel along with his best friend Miles are on a quest to battle through the mean streets of San Francisco in order to save Sheila.
