Bonk keeps the headbutt and the meat power-ups from the earlier games. New candies change his size. A blue candy makes him big, and a red one makes him small.
Each size also changes his hit area against enemies. Players can use a fast pipe that carries Bonk through tubes.
A second player controls a sidekick Bonk. The game scrolls up and down as well as sideways.
The Dinosaur Kingdom is the setting again, and it is much more detailed. The levels include sewers and giant cakes.
The moon, restored in the first game, has sunk under the sea. It is sealed inside a statue of King Tamagodon III, King Drool's Japanese name. Bonk sets out again to find out why.
Hudson Soft published the game. Red Company developed it and designed the characters.
In 1994, the game returned for the TurboDuo with a new cover illustration.
