Speedy Gonzales is a platform game where you control the Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales. The player can run in the side-scrolling levels, aiming to reach the exit without running out of lives.
Lives are lost when Speedy comes into contact with dangers such as enemies, pit traps and sharp spikes. You can earn points by collecting coins, and the game also takes inspiration from Sonic the Hedgehog. When you run into bumpers, Speedy can run faster and even do flips in loops upside down.
Speedy can jump higher by jumping on the heads of penguins and when going fast can run through certain walls. Your goal is to complete each level without losing all your lives.
