In this action platformer game, the player takes control of the titular character, Mulan, through four levels (with usually more then one sub-stage) in a recreation of the film's plot with each level, save for the third, having a boss to defeat once the player reaches the end of the stage.

Health in this game is tracked by a simple HP gauge, with 99 health as it's maximum. Each hit taken from an enemy deals a variable amount of damage, although health can be easily restored by picking up food items, such as meat.

Atop of food, the player can find many other items, such a "flaming orb" for invincibility and a miniature of Mushu, which will earn the player another life. Coins can be found within each level, although all coins will be lost with every hit you take. Another item, the vial, earns the player 5 coins for every one obtained.

Mulan can attack with her sword by using the B button, using this in combination with a jump (C button) or while falling through the air causes a weird flutter effect which can be used to slow Mulan's decent and create shortcuts through the level, all while mowing down enemies. Nyah~
