About
The player controls a boy named Tarosuke, who travels through "Jigoku" (the Japanese concept of Hell) fighting off "youkai" (mythical Japanese monsters) on his way to his final fate, as determined by Buddha. He destroys his enemies by firing small Ki bullets, which can be charged to increase their power; however, if overcharged, he is left unable to move or fight for a few seconds. During boss battles, Tarosuke kneels at a shrine to Buddha and prays, summoning "Monmotaro" (not to be confused with "Momotarou"), a spirit which floats in the air and drops energy balls on the boss and any lackeys he has. Once the boss is defeated, Tarosuke goes to the next stage.
Storyline
Tarosuke, a boy who is always misbehaving with the villagers, is punished by God by being carried to the entrance of hell while he sleeps, where he is to go through hell while still alive to be judged by Enma. In order to shape his destiny, Tarosuke parades through the hell world with the "ghost psychokinesis" given to him by the gods.
