Gameplay consists of alternating rounds of Games B and C, with 12 targets per round instead of 10 and sometimes three targets at once instead of two. Every missed target costs one life until the game ends.

After every second round, a [[bonus stage]] has ducks flying out of the grass with the [[hunting dog]] occasionally jumping into the line of fire as a distraction. If shot, the dog scolds the player and the bonus stage ends. According to [[Nintendo of America]] employee Jerry Momoda, the dog was made impossible to shoot on console releases to make the game more family friendly.<ref name=BeforeYouDie/>{{rp|45–46}}
