In the game, you take the role of a time traveling teenager named Marty McFly. He leaves Doc's garage and heads to Hill Valley High School where he meets his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker and is stopped by Stanford S. Strickland for being late. He meets up with his band The Pinheads and auditions for the Battle of the Bands, but is rejected for being too loud.

At the Hill Valley Courthouse, he kisses Jennifer, and is interrupted by the Clock Tower Lady who is raising funds to fix the broken clock tower. Marty gives her a donation and heads home, where Biff Tannen is arguing with his father, George McFly, about George's car, which Biff wrecked. Biff wants George to pay for it, and George gives in. At dinner, George and Marty's mother, Lorraine Baines McFly discuss how they first met and how they fell in love.
