Side-Scrolling Arcade Game

[outslaw2002]

Hi all,
I am new to these forums and have been reading the different games that others had trouble remembering. Now I have had one that I was trying to remember but cant think of the name.

The game is an arcade side-scroller similar to Golden Axe, but somewhat worse graphics. All I remember of the game is that it was 1 or 2 player and you rode a tiger. Your attack was a chain whip type weapon, you would chain the enemies and circle around their head until it came off. Also I think you would get powerups that would have you walking on foot and grow bigger. I do also recall that your character would shrink at times when weaker.

Thanks in advance for any research.
