In Totally Rad, you take control of a regular dude named Jake as he (with some help from Zebediah) attempts to save the righteous babe Allison and her father from the evil underground dweller named Edogy, who wants to take over all of California. Luckily, Zebediah has taught you a few of his tricks so that now you're a bit of a superhuman dude with some magical powers. You've got 12 spells at your disposal, but a limited amount of magical power with which to use them. You'll have to make your way through five levels, each consisting of two or three sub-levels. A boss awaits you at the end of each level until your final battle beneath the earth's surface with Edogy himself.
