Decap Attack

The player controls a living mummy, named Chuck D. Head, through various side-scrolling levels to battle an underworld army led by Max D. Cap. Levels contain many enemies and hazards that can harm or kill Chuck, and power-ups to collect; at the end of the last level in every area, there is a boss to defeat.

The player has a small number of health units, displayed as hearts, and a small number of lives. The fictional island the game takes place on, shaped like a skeleton, is split apart into many pieces. Individual levels are named after parts of the skeleton, such as Abdomainland or Armington. Some levels require the player to collect a certain item for Dr.

Chuck D. Head, a headless mummy created by Dr. Frank N. Stein and his assistant Igor, is sent to defeat Max D.

Cap, a demon from the Underworld who commands an army of monsters to conquer the surface world, splitting the skeleton-shaped cluster of islands the land is on into pieces in the process. After reforming the islands and defeating Max, Chuck sluggishly returns home, where Stein rewards him by transforming him into a human.

Sega Force praised the game's graphics, saying it was "big, bold, colourfully and beautifully animated", while criticizing the gameplay as unoriginal. Console XS said that Decap Attack is the same game as Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure but with gothic graphics and gory killings. They also felt the game was big and very playable. MegaTech praised the game calling it "a fun-filled platform game" and saying it's identical to Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure but with different sprites.

Mega placed the game at #22 in their Top Mega Drive Games of All Time.
