While the gameplay of Takeshi no Chōsenjō is presented as a side-scrolling action game, the narrative progresses according to the player's choices akin to an adventure game, making the game an example of an action-adventure. Shooter elements are also included in certain areas. The player controls a poor salaryman within an urban and decadent Japanese landscape, in which he is often attacked by hostile yakuza. Health can only be restored by either drinking tequila at a bar in Japan or sleeping at a hotel on Hintabo Island, although the salaryman can be revived upon depletion of his health if the player simultaneously taps the A and B buttons three times in quick succession. The salaryman can receive money by beating pedestrians or completing certain objectives.
