The alien slug invasion begins when they encounter the Lucasarts logo. The slugs determine that humans are made up of bones and advertising, two things they hate, and so attack.
The human race is vastly outnumbered by the gooey slugs. To combat this threat, the Earth recruits Big Sky Troopers, special soldiers in heavily armored suits. With their skills, they must stop the slugs' plans to destroy galactic devices and conquer humanity.
As a Big Sky Trooper, you pilot a FIDO class starship through space battles and planetary invasions to thwart the slug's evil plans and save humanity.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*Big Sky Troopers* is a sci-fi action-adventure game where players take on the role of a newly recruited general tasked with saving humanity from an invading armada of disgusting alien slugs. Armed with a starship, a laser gun, and a robotic sidekick, players must travel across the galaxy to battle the extraterrestrial threat. To secure victory, players cannot rely on combat alone and must also solve the mystery of the universe to repair the reality-altering machinery sabotaged by the enemy.
Story
Trooper Alert
Gooey green gastropods from beyond the stars have discovered the human race! And they're so disgusted by our bones and bad habits that they've declared total war!
Lured by a sly military recruiter, you sign a simple contract, and the next thing you know you're a 21-Star General in the Big Sky Troopers, off on a loony adventure to save the world from the Sultan of Slime and his alien armada.
The Mission
There are two obstacles on the road to glory. First, it turns out you're the only one brave (or dumb) enough to volunteer for duty. Second, the Slugs have sabotaged the ancient machinery that operates reality.
Even with a star-hopping battle cruiser to carry you into action, a deadly laser gun to wield, and a computer sidekick named FIDO to keep you out of trouble, you can't simply out-fight the enemy. You must also solve the mystery of the universe if you hope to lead Earth's forces to victory.
How to Play
Starting the Game
•
Turn off your Super Nintendo Entertainment System by sliding the POWER bar away from the Game Pak slot. Plug a game controller into your system.
•
Insert the Big Sky Trooper Game Pak, label facing front, in the system slot.
•
Turn on the system by sliding the POWER bar toward the system slot.
•
When the Title screen appears, press the START Button to begin play.
•
Choose your character (male or female) with the A or START button.
•
If you have previously saved a game, you may restore this game by choosing the BST Combat Suit icon in the middle, then selecting the saved game you wish to play.
Using the Viewscreen
Walk up to your ship's viewscreen and press the A button. FIDO will appear. Select the display mode you want with your control pad, then press A again.
Talk to FIDO
You can ask FIDO about items in your inventory. FIDO has lots of useful hints and information. It's IMPORTANT to ask him about any new item you collect.
Go to Skyway Map
Use this map to travel around the Big Sky Galaxy. Move the cursor to a destination planet. If the cursor flashes GREEN, you can go there by pressing the A button. If the cursor flashes RED, the planet is out of range, and you need to install a Cosmic Transport Relay.
•
You can travel to ANY planet that already has a relay. Double green cursors reveal their presence on the map.
•
If the planet you're on has a Relay, you can travel to any ADJACENT planet, whether it has a Relay or not. But you can't reach distant planets that don't have them. The RED cursor shows which planets are off limits.
Go to Viewport
The Viewport shows the planet or space station that the Dire Wolf (your spaceship) is currently orbiting. You can deploy or retrieve Cosmic Transport Relays by pressing the A button.
Mission Orders
FIDO hands out new mission orders (and a promotion!) every time you complete a mission. Keep focused on your next objective and you can't go wrong!
Beaming Down
During the game you will need to beam down to planets and space stations to pick up items or defeat occupying slugs. To do this, stand in the middle of the AIRLOCK and press the A button.
Saving Games
To save your game, move your character to one of the four SLEEP CHAMBERS on your ship and press the A button. The numbers on the sleep chambers correspond to the save game numbers at the beginning of the game.
Battle Screen
When you arrive at a planet occupied by Slugs, you must defeat their space patrols, or be forced to retreat to your previous location. Use the A button to fire rocket thrusters and the B button to fire torpedoes.
As you progress through the game you will receive spaceship powerups. Give them to FIDO to install. Two of the powerups are special weapons. Launch and explode SPACE MINES by pressing and releasing the Y button. Launch and explode QUARK TORPEDOES by pressing and releasing the X button.
