Gameplay
The player must charge up Mr. Chicken's electric car so he can make it across a bridge to the next location. The player must charge the car for 4-16 beats, with each beat fueling the car for another yard. In the endless version, the game will count the beats for two rounds, but the player must count themselves afterward. The bridge will fall behind Mr. Chicken as he crosses it, so if the player stops charging too soon, he and his car will fall into the ocean. If the player stops too late, Mr. Chicken will fall off the island, as the bridge after it will not be placed until his car is stopped. If the player successfully stops the car on the island, the game will continue. The tempo and music will change to throw off the player. The player has three lives, and if those are all lost the game is over.
Several islands are described as one of many real world locations (listed below), but the island themselves are indistinguishable. As the game continues, the scenery will change from day and night, and even change to space (giving Mr. Chicken a helmet) or even another dimension if you reach far enough.

I've been driving for almost three years now. I get pulled over all the time, and I keep expecting a police officer to comment on my license picture--I look so good! |

When my safe driving record got me the gold driver's license, I asked if I could keep my same picture. It's such a cute picture of me! |
Trivia
- If the car is charged for too long, it will explode and Mr. Chicken will come out a roasted turkey. This does not count as a miss.
- When the chicken falls in the water, his scream is a sped up version of the Wandering Samurai's yell when he does a combo in the Wii version of Samurai Slice, or when he slices a huge evil spirit in Super Samurai Slice.
- This game is similar to a rhythm toy, Toy Car in Rhythm Heaven Fever, and was possibly inspired from it.
- The jingle used when a goal is reached is reused from Quiz Show.
- This is the only Endless Game that isn't in the Final Remix.
- The Space Umpire, the rice ball from Spaceball, a Martian from Second Contact, & what appears to be one of the Family Model Rhythm Rockets make cameos when the background is in space.
