.
Jim is armed with a cutlass, which he uses to attack enemies with . His sword can be upgraded, up to three times, by finding pixies in the rounds. The first upgrade enhances his sword to shoot stars when he swings it, the second upgrade increases it to a conical spread of three stars per swing, and the third upgrade increases it to a conical spread of five stars per swing. The ranged attack can be aimed with the D-Pad. Jim can swing his sword while jumping, crouching, or climbing.
Rounds contain shops where Jim can exchange gold for power-ups. Gold is acquired by picking up items. Rounds are timed, and the player is given 100 gold for every second remaining on the timer when the round is finished. The player can also earn extra lives by collecting the letters in "CAPTAIN SILVER."
Jim loses a life if he takes a hit from an enemy, falls down a bottomless pit or into water, or runs out of time. He restarts the round from a predetermined checkpoint if he has extra lives remaining, keeping acquired letters but losing sword upgrades. The game ends if the player runs out of lives. The player can continue the game up to three times by pressing +

Versions
While the Japanese and European versions of the game consist of six rounds, the US version has been cut down to only four. It is also missing various enemies and bosses, and the ending has been replaced with some scrolling text. The reason for these cuts was likely to fit the game on a 1-Megabit cartridge instead of a 2-Megabit, in order to reduce costs, similar to the Master System version of Enduro Racer.
