Based on the classic manga Chibi Maruko-chan, the player controls Maruko and two of her friends or family members to win a trivia game show. Questions are multiple choice, with players picking one of three or four answers using one of the Neo-Geo's buttons. A two-player mode is available, which sets up the player as another character from the manga. Each time the player answers a question incorrectly, the current character is out; after getting three questions wrong, they lose.
