Sanma no Meitantei (or, Sanma the Great Detective) casts the player as the assistant to famous Japanese comedian and television personality Sanma Akashiya. A party at the villa of a wealthy company president is marred by the death of a guest and the disappearance of a priceless diamond, the Star of Africa. The player must investigate to uncover the truth.
The gameplay follows a standard adventure game first-person menu-driven model: Look, Examine, Take, Use, etc. There's also a pointer to examine specific points of interest, and a third-person map used to move between locations. The game features various action-oriented minigames that must be passed to advance the plot, including a parody of Namco's Galaxian.
