Gameplay
Gameplay
In the game, the player takes control of Taz and must deliver crates to various destinations in the game. The crate must remain intact until it reaches its intended destination. Each player starts with three lives that are shaped like crates. If the crate is destroyed by dropping it, Taz's spin or if it falls into a hole and water, the player will lose a life. if the player loses all three lives, the game is over. If the player collects all fifty tokens in each level, at the end of the level, they obtain an extra life for a crate. At the beginning of the level, Taz has full energy, which allows him to run faster, low energy will cause Taz to slow down. if he is hit by cars, lasers, falls into water, holes, ground, or other things, he will lose a health point. His spin ability can only be activated when Taz's running bar is full, but if the bar is too low, he won't be able to spin.
