In Rider Story mode, the player must defeat the evil Shocker organization to restore the peace by battling against 6 combatmen before fighting against a Shocker kaijin, if the kaijin or player's health is 50% or less, the game automatically switches the position of the player on the screen. If all Shocker and Gel Shocker kaijin are defeated, the player will immediately fight against the Great Leader without fighting combatmen or switching around.
===Shocker Story===
In Shocker Story mode, players play as a Shocker kaijin which they must defeat enemy Shocker kaijin.
