Road Runner - Players must try to escape from Wile E. Coyote and complete the level by getting to the other end. If players get caught by Wile E. Coyote, they lose health. Road Runner can scare Wile E. Coyote by using his "meep meep" catchphrase or running him over, which gives the player items.

Gameplay

Sometimes Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner share the same levels when playing as them. Other times they don't. Each stage is split up into two parts. There are also bonus levels after each mission if the player gets 125 stamps. Looney Tunes stars make a cameo appearance in these bonus stages.
