Unlike many pirates, this game retains the story from the original game. The game plays like a platformer, and like the game it is based on, the player can pause the game to switch between Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck and Hamton. The characters themselves play identically aside from having different weapons: Buster throws carrots, Plucky throws pineapples, and Hamton rolls watermelons like bowling balls. There are four levels in total, all based off the Game Boy game. This game has the same scrolling glitch as Somari and Aladdin, despite the game only scrolling horizontally.

Many of the graphics are taken from the Game Boy game this is based on; however, the music, sound effects, and several sprites are stolen from Tiny Toon Adventures on the Famicom.
