The player controls Kantaro, who must pass through various side-scrolling levels while fending off enemies throwing firework grenades. Some enemies are unaffected by grenades, and can only be killed off by explosions from grenades planted on the ground; some are impervious to all of Kantaro's weapons and must be avoided. Various non-player characters attempt to hinder Kantaro's progress, including a prostitute and a ghost who decrease Kantaro's speed, a thief who steals all items held by Kantaro and a border patrol officer, but various items, including a kanzashi, an ofuda and a katana can allow the player to avoid conflict with these characters. Koban are collected throughout the levels and is generally used for creating bridges over rivers. A set amount must be paid to the border patrol officer if the passport item is not present, with secret passages to other levels costing more. An onigiri grants the player temporary invincibility and transforms Kantaro into a ball, allowing him to roll over enemies. A geta allows Kantaro to traverse on clouds.
