During this game, you pilot a ship through the solar system, picking up circus performers with a "bubble laser", shooting clowns and avoiding stale circus food. You start with five shield points {{--}} each collision costs a shield point, while each completed level recharges a shield point. Attempting to avoid a performer or clown, dodging a food item in the wrong direction, or simply not responding to an incoming item will result in a collision. Lose all your shields, and it's Game Over.

The ship also has a single bomb, unmentioned in the instructions, but revealed on the last page of the game manual as a secret code. It is usable by pressing the A key/button. It will destroy anything currently on the screen, including food, and reduce the count of performers remaining to be rescued to 1, but does not score any points. The bomb may only be used once per game.

This game is nearly identical to the [[Wikipedia:Space Mountain|Space Mountain]] minigame found in the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game [[Wikipedia:Adventures in the Magic Kingdom|Adventures in the Magic Kingdom]], including the strange way the starship can only maneuver in 90-degree turns. Albeit, the navigation arrows are replaced with circus snacks, missiles replaced with rescue bubbles, asteroids replaced with performers, and alien ships replaced with clowns.

*During the main story of Episode 4, one level of the game is played to reach Uzi Bazooka's [[Basement of The Brothers Strong|base on the sun]]. Strangely, although the player only completes level one, the end screen for the level reads "The Sun", which is the name of level ten. If you die during this, Strong Bad will rewind the tape to the beginning, but without resetting the "to save" count.

*This is one of the games contained the [[Videlectrix Mainframe]].

**After Strong Bad rejects entering the game for the first time in [[8-Bit is Enough]], the Dancing Bear becomes a party member.
