The player controls a monkey who must reach to the gorilla at the end of the game. Press A button to grab and hold an elephant's trunk and then release it properly not to fall down. And when it's a giraffe, press and hold A button to grab its head in order to release it and aim for the fire ring.
The player takes control of a [[Monkey#Animal Acrobat|monkey]] who wants to become a circus star. They swing around on elephants and giraffes through the air, flying through hoops of fire, until ultimately reaching a gorilla at the end. Various spotlights give the player indication for when to grab and release.
