Episodes
The game offers five "episodes" (or worlds), each containing three levels and a boss level, where Coyote is in control of a larger mechanism (described here). In each episode, Wile E. and the Road Runner were given different latin names.
- "Zippity Splat" - Takes place in the desert seen in the cartoons. Coyote at first, treat to eat it with forks but fails in the try and falls. Later, he intents with a steam roller, In a Balloon sending flying bombs and in a green "Batman" suit. At the end of the stage, with-uses a mechanical catapult to launch boulders.
- "Rock n' Rivet" - Set on the construction site of Acme Industries. Coyote tries with rocket-powered roller skates, on the wreckling ball and, on a jackhammer. At the end of the stage, Coyote uses a crane and a wrecking ball to crush Road Runner.
- "Train Runnery" - The majority of this episode is set on a fast-moving circus train. Coyote controls a Car with extensions, a rocket and an airplane launching bombs. At the end of the stage, the Coyote uses an modified, but old fashioned steam train that shoots bombs onto the Road Runner's train.
- "Hopalong Casualty" - Set in the mines loaded with explosives. The majority of this episode, the Coyote is absent, but there are many explosives (such as in the first part of the level, Wile E. tries to use a detonator and in the third stage, Wile E. mistakes a mechanical female Road runner for the real one.), hidden drills and in the second stage he is in a mine cart. At the end of the stage, Coyote is in control of a drill rig.
- "Quantum Beep" - The final stage is set at night, possibly on the moon or in a space station. The first stage consists of Wile E. using a jet bike, the second stage has Wile E. controlling a hover ship while shooting laser balls. The third stage has a mixture of Wile E. using different tactics: a jet bike, a batman outfit, and small helicopters. At one of the stage, Wile E. is absent as numerous drills are seen through some parts of the stage. In the final part of the third stage, in reference to "Mad as a Mars Hare", Wile E. becomes a neanderthal-like coyote with powerful jumps. In the final battle, Wile E. Coyote controls a giant robotic replica of his head, armed with missiles. Marvin the Martian can be seen in some parts of the levels.

Famous quotes containing the word episodes:
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
