Gameplay
Characters
Both Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote have a slightly different game to go through, having different items to collect and sharing some of the levels but having a completely different level order.
Levels
Wile E. Coyote and RoadRunner have different second acts depending on the character. Playing as either will result in the first two stages being flipped; Wile E. gets Red Rock Rendezvous first, then Buttes and Ladders, while Road Runner gets the opposite.

The game was later released in North America as part of the Mega Hit Series.
