[edit] Gameplay
The player plays as a Super Seeker who must navigate three levels of Treasure Mountain to collect treasures and keys to the next level. In each level there are three "clue words" and numerous decorative items. Tossing coins in front of items matching two of the clue word descriptions would reveal a treasure. The item matching all three words contained the key to the next level.
To find the clue words, the player had to catch elves with nets and solve word problems.
There are 3 separate levels needed to climb to the top of the mountain. Once you reach the top, you must enter and climb to the top of the castle to get your treasure. These treasures are stored in the cave you start your game from each time you play.
[edit] Trivia
The music heard in the game's introduction is Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's "Solfeggietto". It is also heard in the initial cave.
The theme heard in the outdoor levels is a conflammation of those of two of Beethoven's contredanses WoO 14 (no. 1 in C major and no. 3 in D major, although in the game they are played in the same key).
The theme heard in the other caves comes from the first movement of J. S. Bach's Keyboard Concerto no. 1 in D minor.
