The game's plot is similar to the show, as the player controls Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher as they take part in several schemes and adventures for their summer vacation.

[3] The first stage of the game consists of Phineas and Ferb beginning their plans to destroy and construct a giant roller coaster.

Once every part in the needed list is found, the two construct the devices in the form of little puzzles which end with the creation of roller coaster tracks and engines.

[1][3] After constructing all five rides in the game, Candace prepares her ultimate busting attack, after which Phineas remarks "Hey, where's Perry?"

After Perry's final attack, the resulting explosion obliterates all the rides Phineas and Ferb have made throughout the game, right as Candace drags her Mom into the backyard.

Phineas and Ferb, not knowing what just happened, build a time machine and send themselves back to before the rides were destroyed.

The game was inspired by the top-rated Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb, which was created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.

[12] Chad Sapieha states in his review on Common Sense Media that the game is "fine entertainment for elementary school kids".
