Donald has unlimited plungers which can temporarily stun enemies (though bosses can still be damaged with plungers), and can collect popcorn and gum along the way or get the latter from Gyro Gearloose. ĭonald is armed with a special gun that can shoot plungers, popcorn or bubble gum. Once Donald has completed the overland section of an area, he may leave by calling his nephews' biplane, and will return to the dungeon entrance of that area if the player chooses to return. In addition to this, some levels provide the player with vital clues which solve puzzles needed to progress in later sections.

Although the player may choose any order to play the overland sections, various obstacles prevent the player from entering the dungeons outside of a specific order. Generally, each level is divided into an overland part and a dungeon, such as the Maharajah's palace or the temple in which the Great Duck Treasure resides. The player, as Donald, ventures through a variety of side-scrolling levels. The game was also criticized for its lack of difficulty overall as well as its lack of speech samples, which several other Genesis games of the time had. However, QuackShot was criticized for its controls, being described by IGN as "float-y" and making certain segments of the game unnecessarily difficult.

The game was universally lauded for its graphics, with magazines like Sega Pro describing them as "some of the best graphics around." The game was also praised for its music and puzzles. QuackShot was released to mostly positive reviews from video game journalists.
