Super Bandicoot Crash Adventures a beat-em-up game with platforming aspects in which the player controls Bandicoot, whose main objective Bandicoote is to rescue his sister, Coco, and save his home, the Wumpa Island, from being destroyed by the main antagonist's gigantic robot. The player's first goal is to rescue the sentient mask Aku Aku, who gives the player basic instructions, shields Bandicoot from enemy attacks, and transforms into a skateboard to help Bandicoot traverse slippery terrain. From there, each level asks players to complete fights against large groups of enemies or simply progress through the episode Bandicoot starts the game with four lives. The length of each of Bandicoot's lives is tied to his health meter, which decreases whenever Bandicoot is damaged from enemy attacks or falls down a bottomless pit. The player can replenish Bandicoot's health meter by instructing Bandicoot to eat Wumpa Fruit. Each time the health meter is fully depleted, Bandicoot loses a life. However, the player can win an additional life for Bandicoot by collecting 25,000 units of the magical substance Mojo or by collecting a rare type of Golden Wumpa Fruit. After the last life is lost, the player can continue playing by restarting the current episode.

All three tasks must be accomplished in an episode if a gold voodoo doll is to be obtained for that episode. Hidden voodoo dolls unlock concept art packages for each episode.

When he defeats an enemy or destroys an object, a magical substance known as Mojo is released. When Bandicoot collects enough Mojo, he will earn either an ability upgrade or a new move, such as the Norris Roundhouse or the Triple Dragon.
