Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote brings the classic cartoon to life in an action game with two recurring stages of increasing difficulty. First, you control Road Runner on a single screen, pecking as much birdseed as possible – while dodging Wile E. Coyote's traps from above. The more seed you collect, the better your chances in stage two – where you sprint away from Wile E., leap over his traps, and reach a cliff – soaring to safety as he plummets below, just like in the cartoons.
