The gameplay involves using various techniques, such as punches, kicks, and invulnerable elbow strikes, along with any objects that come into their hands, to pursue the gang through different environments like city slums, industrial areas, and forests before reaching their hideout to confront the big boss, Willy.
The NES version of this game also features an additional VS. fighting mode for one or two players. Players can choose from six different characters (Billy and five enemy characters) and engage in a one-on-one fighting match, where punches, kicks, jumpkicks, and weapon usage are used until someone's health bar is fully drained. The last player standing wins.
