Each side of the storyware cassette represents one of the floors of Gameworld, each of which contains individual mini-games. After passing the mini-games, the player can read short dialogues from Sonic's friends Flicky, Ricky, Picky, Pocky, Rocky and Cucky. In the North American version, several games of the Japanese have been removed because they were not considered educational and were replaced by a painting and drawing tool.

  • Tree Climb : Three Coconuts robots have to climb a palm tree as often as possible; the highest number of points wins
