The focus of the game is one-on-one fights versus giant enemies. Several of said enemies are references to or bosses in other Konami games, such as Gradius and its spin-off, Salamander. When playing two-player mode, both players can team up to do secret special moves.
The three main protagonists are Kotetsu, Anne and Eagle, members of the "Ultimate Task Force". A trio of evil villains known as the Happy Droppers unleashes a swarm of monsters to terrorize countries of the world, sending the three heroes on a mission to end the disaster and defeat the evil masterminds.
There are two endings in the game. The good ending has the antagonists apprehended, while the bad ending shows them having escaped.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Monster Maulers on their February 1, 1994 issue as being the fourth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.[1]
