Gameplay
The player completes five stages modeled after Disney theme park rides, plus a trivia quest, to retrieve the six silver keys. Stages are chosen by walking around the park on an overworld map. Two vehicle stages use a top-down perspective: one based on Autopia is a driving game where the player races against Panhandle Pete while avoiding obstacles; the other, based on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, has the player controlling a train on a track and selecting the correct path while avoiding obstacles. Two side-scrolling stages are also included. In the Haunted Mansion stage, the player defeats ghosts by throwing candles at them to obtain a key. The Pirates of the Caribbean stage requires the player to rescue six villagers from pirates who have raided an island. The Space Mountain stage is a first-person segment where the player pilots a spaceship to reach a star, maneuvering through asteroids and shooting enemy ships with a phaser. A trivia game is available at any time; children around the park ask questions about Disney films and characters, and answering correctly reveals the location of the final silver key.
