Higgins starts off each life without the ability to attack and can only gain the ability to attack by picking up a stone axe, which can be found in specific spots in each stage. Also hidden in each stage is a special pot, which doubles the player's end-of-stage bonus. Finding a bee-like fairy known as Honey Girl will grant Higgins invincibility for about ten seconds and allow him to kill enemies with a single touch. When the player's score reaches 50,000 points, 100,000 points, and 200,000 points, Higgins will receive an extra life. To replenish his health, Higgins can pick up fruit or a milk bottle and has a maximum health of up to 16 points. The game ends when all of Higgins' lives run out. If Higgins still has extra lives, he will revive at the last checkpoint he passed through.
When Higgins' health gauge reaches zero, he will lose a life. The player also has a health gauge that starts out with 11 points, which gradually depletes over time or whenever Higgins trips on a rock in his path. Master Higgins (the player character) loses a life whenever he touches an enemy, an enemy's attack, a fire roast, or when he falls into a pitfall or a body of water. The game is completed when the player saves the girl after defeating the eighth and final form of the evil lord. When the player reaches the fourth round of each area, he must confront a boss at the end to continue to the next area. There are eight worlds called "areas", which are divided into four stages or "rounds" each, which are further divided into four checkpoints. To rescue her, Higgins must survive a series of 32 stages. The player controls Master Higgins (known as Master Wigins in the United Kingdom and as Takahashi Meijin in Japanese versions), a young man who ventured to Adventure Island in the South Pacific after hearing that the Evil Witch Doctor kidnapped Princess Tina.
