Mad Motor
疯狂摩托
Mad Motor is a 1989 arcade action game developed by Mitchell. Players ride a motorcycle through side-scrolling stages, attacking enemies using both the bike itself and a fighter who can dismount to battle on foot. The game combines vehicular combat with beat-'em-up mechanics, letting players punch, kick, and use the motorcycle as a weapon against waves of opponents. Controls involve a joystick and buttons for attacking and jumping, with the rider able to hop off the bike at will. Stages feature varied terrain and end with boss encounters. The motorcycle can be destroyed during combat, forcing the player to continue fighting on foot until another bike becomes available.
