The game uses a side-scrolling perspective. Beavis and Butt-Head travel through hazardous stages, search for useful objects, fight enemies, and solve straightforward environmental problems while trying to recover concert tickets.

Levels are built from platforming sections and exploration areas. The player moves through each location, avoids hazards, uses available items, and progresses toward the stage objective. Success depends more on careful navigation and experimentation than on complex combat.

Search each area carefully before moving on; useful objects and the route forward may not be immediately obvious.

Avoid unnecessary fights when possible. Learn enemy timing, conserve health, and use environmental objects rather than repeatedly trading hits.
