RoboPirates are under the sea harvesting pearls and muckin’ up the place with their Not Quite Spent Toxic Energy Cells. Worse yet, they’ve cut off Fish Boy’s head and stuck it on one of their Robo-Contraption Suits. He now must race across the ocean floor collecting the not quite spent toxic energy cells to keep his body going. Perhaps if he also manages to steal away some of those pearls he can buy a better robo-contraption body. Better get running before you run out of juice!
