It is a racing game like with Penny Racers for PS1 (Choro-Q 1), Choro-Q 2, Choro-Q 3 and Penny Racers for PS2 (Choro-Q HG). It also has a gameplay mode with a variety of missions to be completed.

The Player

You will enter your name first, and you will be at the top menu called ゲームセレクト (Game Select Select Game). You can select フリーラン (Free Run Free Cruise), レース (Race), ステータス (Status), ??? (???, it cannot be selected at first. it becomes エクストラ (Extras) after done all Missions and Races), and セーブ＆ロード (Save & Load).
The Player cannot have your own CUSTOMIZED Q-Boat like the other Choro-Q series. Just collect many Q-Boats, which have each performance, and you use them.

Q-Boats

In the game, all of the ships, boats, cruisers, sea animals etc. are called Q-Boats. The game has many Q-Boats and almost all of them are based on real ships/boats/cruisers. The sea animal Q-Boats are based from the real life animals.
