The game is a platformer in a 2.5D perspective. The player, controlling the Pink Panther, must get out of the level by obtaining a key that opens the exit door. Keys are also needed to unlock the next levels. In order to progress through the level, the player must often steal certain items (such as a saucer of food from the waiter in the level "The Luxitania") and give them to characters who prevent the Panther from entering the next section of the level. Some aisles are blocked by boxes; They need to be blown up with bombs, which can also be found in the level. The Panther has three special moves: the Tail Flyer, which allows you to fly through the air for a short time, the Spinning Top, which allows you to eliminate enemies in the level (you can also jump on their heads), and the ability to blend in with the environment in certain places.

In some levels, the Panther will be on roller skates. Here, the player will need to react quickly in order not to crash.

There are three bosses in the game, each of which has the same tactic - to place bombs under their feet (in the case of a dinosaur, put a bomb along with a bone for it to eat) and blow them up until the bosses run out of life. For each boss elimination, the player gains one extra life.

Each level has coins scattered that the player can collect. They are also awarded for each successful completion of the level (even more if the player beats the record for completing the level set by the developers). With them, the player can buy paintings in the gallery in front of the house.
