Because the Game Boy release is meant to be a remake of the NES version of Bionic Commando it is quite similar. Director Wiseman, leader of the Doraize Army is trying to bring about the Albatross project. If he succeeds he will be able to take over the world.

Super Joe is sent to stop them, but he is captured so the FF Corps send their best soldier Rad Spencer to rescue Super Joe and stop Director Wiseman.

You then travel to the Albatross area and make your way through the enormous vehicle to the end where you destroy it. With the Albatross destroyed, Wiseman tries to make a getaway.
