There are four heroes and eight bosses; and two game modes, Quest and Versus. In Versus Mode, you and a friend fight against each other, but you can only choose from the four main characters. In Quest Mode, you can still only choose one of the four hero characters, but you play against the eight boss characters.

Red Earth also uses a special password system that allows the player to play the game later on the same skill level he reached when it ended the last time. The character is able to "learn" special attacks depending on the skill level that has been reached.

Closing Comment: I've still never played this game! The characters are definitely imaginative and obscure... Since the game was never seen outside of the arcades, it is one of Capcom's most unknown and un-played titles. ~F. Yagami, WebMaster of TFG
