The game uses a side-scrolling platform structure. Players guide the character through stages filled with gaps, enemies, moving platforms, and hazards, using jumps and close-range attacks to progress. The core loop is moving through linear levels, avoiding damage, and managing limited lives. Some stages require careful timing for jumps or enemy spacing, while others emphasize memorizing obstacle layouts and maintaining momentum.

Take your time on jumps and do not rush through enemy clusters. Learn the spacing of platforms and hazards before committing to movement. If the game allows healing or item collection, use safe opportunities to recover before harder sections. Conserving lives early helps with later stages where timing is tighter and mistakes are more punishing.

The altered title screen is much more famous than the underlying platforming gameplay.
