Gameplay

In the 1-player game, the cowboy hat wearing hero, Will, races to reach the Jenny, the blond maiden who waits at the end of each level. The hero is racing against his blond-haired nemesis, Rick, who also is trying to reach the girl. Through obstacles, hazards, and various creatures, Will and Rick race each other through six different worlds (three levels each) of beaches, jungles, and ancient ruins to reach Jenny. In the finale of each world, Jenny is kidnapped by Rick, who attempts to take her away. The player, as the hero Will, must use all of the weapons in his arsenal to damage Rick's vehicle as it attempts to escape.

In the 2-player game, the second player takes over Rick, and they both race after Jenny in split screen mode. Whoever arrives first receives a kiss from the fair maiden. Using bombs, barbells, electricity, and ice, each player must do whatever it takes to reach Jenny first.
