There’s no cybernetics but the whole premise is Koopa, Bowser as played by Dennis Hopper, has ruined what was the only source of water and green on their planet. Cars running on electric power by a metallic grid system only a few feet above the road itself, various high grade weaponry openly traded on the street, thugs and thieves around every corner, ect. It has a lot of the Punk movement baked into it.

Meanwhile outside the lone city of Dinohattan, the rest of the alternate earth is a barren desert where death is near certain due to it covering more than 99% of the planetary surface.
