Both characters can run in a short burst of speed by using "Turbo Boost" icons scattered within the levels.

[4] As either character, the player is given a limited amount of health that is displayed as a red bar on the upper-left side of the screen and is depleted by taking damage from traps and hazards or, as the Road Runner, coming into contact with Wile E..

The player will lose a life if the health bar is fully depleted or if the allotted time runs out.

Extra lives can be obtained by collecting icons in the shape of the Road Runner's or Wile E.'s head.

Wile E. can collect a series of stamps with each successful capture of the Road Runner, while the Road Runner can collect extra stamps by startling Wile E. with a vocalization from behind, trampling him with a Turbo Boost or luring him into obstacles and traps.

[4] Completing the game results in two different endings for each character, both of which feature cameo appearances by Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Porky Pig, and Elmer Fudd (all of whom are working as employees of ACME Corporation).

[citation needed] GamePro called the game "a lightweight frolic", commenting that playing as the Road Runner is one-dimensional and overly easy, but playing as Wile E. Coyote offers a varied gameplay experience with humorous animations.
