Story

Starshot is a juggler for the struggling Space Circus, led by Starcash. After driving rivaling company Virtua Circus off a planet, the Space Circus is informed they have to repay the Intergalactic Bank within ten days or they will be annihilated. Desperate, Starshot is sent to a planet that serves as a weapons expo to retrieve a device that can detect new attractions. After getting his hands on the device, it sends him to four planets, where he retrieves the ghost dog Laika, the last Earthling, and a flawed machine. On the fourth planet, he tries to acquire a mysterious bird, however, it is killed by Virtua Circus. The circus pays back the loan to the bank representative using the money made with the new acts, only to discover that the representative was in fact a Virtua Circus robot in disguise. Virtua Circus now tries to destroy the Space Circus Ship. Starshot is sent to deal with the threat and he battles with the Virtua Circus director, Wolfgang. After Starshot defeats him, he begs for mercy from Starcash. Starcash decides not to kill him and leaves instead. However, Starshot is captured by Wolfgang and is last seen in a cell on the Virtua Circus ship as the ship floats into space aimlessly.
