B.O.B.

Story

When B.O.B. wrecks his father's spaceship on the way to his date, he gets stranded on a hostile asteroid full of enemies. By collecting power-ups and quick reflexes, B.O.B. tries to leave the asteroid and get to his date. B.O.B. fights his way through a total of three alien worlds, encountering several particularly huge or fast enemies (bosses) along the way and taking part in several cart race levels. Each level featured different locations, including domed cities in space colonies, large alien hives, strange biomechanical facilities, ancient (and seemingly cursed) temples and cavernous magma chambers. Some of these locations only existed on certain worlds. At the end of each world, B.O.B. manages to discover a new spaceship with which he can continue his journey. The first two let him down under strange circumstances, leaving him trapped on a completely new, alien world. In the last car, B.O.B. is finally able to meet his date, who turns out to be a large, blue female robot with a huge mouth who berates B.O.B. violently for being late. As she yells at him, a slender red female robot flies past them on a space surfboard. B.O.B., frustrated with his obnoxious date, says, "That's the girl for me," and takes off in pursuit of the red woman. The game ends with a shot of B.O.B. and his new date sitting together on a small asteroid, gazing silently at the beauty of the cosmos. Behind them, B.O.B.'s car (in the back seat of which his date had stowed her surfboard) stops and drifts off into space, presumably stranding them together, but neither lover seems to notice.
