Overview and Gameplay
Chester Cheetah is locked inside Four Corners Zoo, and his stolen scooter has been broken into parts. The player guides him through a short side-scrolling platform game, searching each stage for a missing scooter piece before he can escape back to Hip City.
The SNES version is built around jumping, running, avoiding zoo hazards, and dealing with enemies by landing on them. Progression moves through themed areas such as the zoo park, Monkey Pits, Gator Alley, Hidden Caves, and Bird Houses.
