* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed with Lips Manlis. He's still a criminal mob boss, but in this game he is a neutral party only trying to stop Big Boy from wiping him out, and only attracting the attention of Tracy when he sends the Brow to stop the shipment of nitroglycerin.

** Lips Manlis was executed by Big Boy and his goons in the film, but in this game he is just defeated and survives.
** Likewise, Big Boy doesn't get the DisneyVillainDeath and is just sent to prison.

The gameplay consists of Tracy walking along left-to-right along the foreground of the screen, but the big gameplay twist is that occasionally enemies will try to attack Tracy from the background, as they shoot "into" the screen. Tracy can pull out his Tommy Gun to shoot the background enemies. The boss battles in the game have this set up. Players have to quickly react to both the foreground and background action to succeed in the game. The game will ramp up the challenge with swarming enemies from both planes, forcing the player to do quick reflexes to deal with the action. Don't get too caught up in one enemy, because it only takes a second for another enemy to land a sneak attack on you.

Along the way, Tracy will encounter and fight iconic villains in thrilling boss battles, like Pruneface, Flattop, and Lips Manlis. The game has very detailed and colorful graphics, and a banging swing jazz soundtrack.
