The game uses a fixed-screen platform view. As Peter Pepper, the player moves across platforms and ladders to step on burger ingredients, causing each piece to fall one level at a time until it lands on the plate and completes the burger. Enemies chase the player across the stage, and contact costs a life. Pepper can throw pepper to stun enemies briefly, making timing, positioning, and route planning essential for survival and level progression.

Peter Pepper

The chef protagonist controlled by the player, responsible for dropping ingredients and completing burgers.

Mr. Hot Dog

One of the main pursuers, aggressive and constantly closing in on the player.

Mr. Pickle

One of the main pursuers, often helping to trap the player with other enemies.

Mr. Egg

One of the main pursuers, whose movement patterns make escape routes trickier.

Try to clear an entire row of ingredients in one run so you do not get trapped backtracking. Save pepper for emergencies instead of using it on every enemy encounter. Lure enemies under ingredients before stepping on them, because dropping a burger piece on an enemy can pin them down and create safe openings. Learning ladder placement and enemy paths makes later stages much more manageable.

Tips

Use platform edges and ladder entrances to create safer turning points.

Tips

Focus on one ingredient row at a time to reduce unnecessary movement.

Tips

When enemies bunch up, create distance first, then counter with pepper or falling ingredients.

Simple rules, but the pace is intense and addictive in a very classic arcade way.

The NES version preserves the core fun and is great for repeated high-score runs.
