I need help remembering the name of a game I forgot

I can’t remember the name at all. I forgot it and now it only exists in my memory.

It was a Super Nintendo game. It was possible to play 2 players. There were 3 playable characters. One of them was a little bearded guy with an axe and a horned helmet.

At the beginning of the game, these three characters appeared spinning around a skull, if I’m not mistaken.

Help me remember.

I think the name was something axe.

Between the years 1998 and 2005.

this one was hard. do you remember what the other two characters were like?
