The first player controls Mario (while the second player, if any, controlled Luigi) in exterminating various types of pests which infested the sewers. The game was split up into various phases which was each cleared when every main enemy (the Shellcreepers, the Sidesteppers and the [[Fighter Fly|Fighter Flies]]) were eliminated.

There were also several other enemies (the fireballs and the [[Freezie|Freezies]]) which did not have to be defeated in order to complete a level. | The first player controls Mario (while the second player, if any, controlled Luigi) in exterminating various types of pests which infested the sewers.
