Originally designed as a cutesy shooter, it got a [[Darker and Edgier]] makeover halfway through development and ended up better for it. When the game begins, the three Jet Force members are separated and have to take their own individual paths to the [[Big Bad]]'s headquarters. Once they reunite, they're given upgrades (Juno and Vela get jetpacks, while Lupus is transformed into a tank) and are allowed to visit each others' previously exclusive levels. This is necessary for [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], which then unlocks the true final level and the [[True Final Boss]].
This being a Rare game, it also contains a good amount of their characteristic

Aware of this, King Jeff tells the protagonists that there is a huge mothership that will help them intercept the asteroid and find a way to stop it, but it's missing twelve pieces. Eleven of these pieces are scattered through the galaxy, so the three characters have to do a [[Fetch Quest]] to retrieve them.
