At certain difficult points during battle, Tuxedo Mask will show up and throw a rose, which is a bonus drop that restores health for the players and damages the enemies as well. Each Soldier also has different attributes during gameplay, encouraging players to select their preferred character. Unlike other titles based on the franchise, most of the fighting is physical rather than magical and the Soldier can run and perform dashing attacks. These special attacks also trigger special animations for each of the Soldier depending on the number of crystals used as well. Similar to Golden Axe, each Soldier has a special attack of their own that deals damage to all enemies on-screen at once depending on the number of crystals collected along the way, which up to a dozen can be fought at one time.
