The main character (who appears to be nameless) is the son of a famous inventor, Dr. On the planet of Quintenix (Paradise Star in Japanese), where the situation has long been peaceful, a group calling themselves "The Hackers", headed by Blackmore, suddenly starts an uprising against the population by disrupting the peace of the town of Rococo (and elsewhere). Some inventions, equipment and scraps are not compatible. Scrap 9 and Scrap 10 when combined with some equipment or other scrap result the most powerful weapons in the game. The different Scraps that the protagonist can find, are: Scrap 1, Scrap 2, Scrap 3, Scrap 4, Scrap 5, Scrap 6, Scrap 7, Scrap 8, Scrap 9, Scrap 10, Scrap A and Scrap B.

More items can be created by finding the "Inventor's Friends" series which can only be accessed depending on the character's level. The player creates and combines items using an invention machine. Much of the game revolves around creating and combining items for the robots' benefit, and is essential to make higher-level equipment. Bonus capsules are also scattered around for the duration of the time limit that can contain items or traps. The player can earn extra Megs of Data by defeating enemies within a time limit and using melee attacks. Most enemies will drop some item or low-level equipment, but these can be "Recycled" to make money. Also all enemies do not give money by default, but certain enemies do drop it on the map after being defeated. Once enough Megs are obtained, the player gains a level. Like most RPG video games, the character gains experience points, called here "Megs of Data". Until the gauge reaches F, all enemies take turns attacking. The gauge's depletion will depend on what action the player used. After the robot acts, a gauge appears with the letters E (empty) and F (full) at either end.

Only one robot may fight at any time up against at most three enemies the player can switch between robots at the cost of a turn (like in Pokémon). Battling in the game takes place on a battlefield under a variation of the ATB system, in which the player must wait for a gauge to fill up before acting.
