In the game, the player controls the character Johnny, who is on a mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Mary from the evil organization known as the Dark Hand. The gameplay involves exploring various levels, battling enemies, and collecting power-ups and weapons along the way.
One of the unique features of Spin Master is the ability to use a yo-yo as a weapon. Johnny's yo-yo can be upgraded with various power-ups throughout the game, allowing it to shoot fire, ice, and other types of projectiles. The game also includes several boss battles, each with their own unique challenges.
