This is a side-scrolling action game in which players assume the role of a genie that explores a whimsical fantasy world and attempts to foil the plans of evil pirates. Players use magical weapons such as orbiting spiked balls, flames, and electrical clouds to defeat enemies (e.g., zombies, skeletons, slime). Most enemies disappear after being struck; some burst into bones when defeated. Some female characters are depicted with exaggerated-size breasts that jiggle slightly during gameplay. Players are able to view still-images of characters in bikinis, and dialogue includes references such as "JUGS are always filled goodies, and come in all shapes and sizes!" and "Hoist my booty through the roof!" One character briefly discusses how emptying his bowels helped him to make off with treasure.

Risky’s Revenge is a metroidvania game, where players explore a gated 2D map using various items and upgrades. Players take the role of Shantae, a half-genie who must explore various areas in order to stop her nemesis, an evil pirate named Risky Boots. Shantae's main form of offense is whipping enemies with her hair, and she can also acquire magic spells that allow her to use various ranged attacks. In order to progress through the game, Shantae needs to find various transformation spells. These spells, activated by performing a belly dance, transform Shantae into various animals with unique abilities. These include a monkey that can cling onto certain surfaces and dash between walls, an elephant that can smash rocks to open new areas, and a mermaid that can swim underwater. Players can use these abilities to access new areas and locate special items hidden around the world, including Heart Holders, which increase Shantae's maximum health, and Magic Jam, which players can use to purchase additional upgrades and abilities. Players will receive different ending screens based on their completion time and number of items collected; while a New Game Plus mode allows the player to replay the game with higher magic but lower defense. The DSi version grants players additional gems when starting a new game as a reward for progress in WayForward's previous DSi release, Mighty Flip Champs.
