About this game

In Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper!, Beethoven searches for his four missing puppies across locations including the Neighborhood, Park, Downtown, and Supermarket.

Players must avoid hazards such as bad-tempered cats, dogcatchers, falling acorns, and skateboarders. Beethoven can bark to scare opponents away, or use water from sources such as a rubber hose to perform a soaking shake that eliminates nearby enemies.

After finding a puppy, the challenge continues: Beethoven must carry it over obstacles and face the enemies again while bringing it safely back to its mother.
