This video game is a collection of six events that uses various characters from the Peanuts series (Donald Duck in the Japanese version) as opponents.
Playing the "River Jump" event requires impeccable timing; like in the long jump event in the Track & Field video game Dewey (in the Donald Duck version), always pushes the lagging player ahead of the leader, allowing them to catch up.
For example, the Japanese version had Donald Duck developing green skin or his trademark blue hat suddenly becoming black.
Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular is a loose port of Alternative World Games, a 1987 title for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
Kemco had signed a deal with British developer and publisher Gremlin Graphics for the console rights to several of their computer games (such as Monty on the Run), but this was the only title of theirs to be re-released back to the West.
