Scrooge McDuck uses his cane to navigate various environments and combat enemies. Players can swing the cane to break or throw objects on the ground, or use it as a pogo stick while jumping to bounce across hazards and reach higher platforms. The gameplay involves traveling to locations like the Amazon Jungle to find five legendary treasures.
