Play starts with each character controlling an extendable claw. A "Wanted!" poster is seen, which a picture of one of the following: [[Goomba]], [[Bob-omb]], [[Chain Chomp]], [[Boo]], [[Thwomp]], or [[Shy Guy]].

The windows will open and close, so players will need to time their grab. Although the player only needs to capture one type of enemy, all four appear in the game. If the player attempts to grab the wrong type of enemy, the window will slam shut immediately. The first player to grab three of the right enemy wins.
