Adventure Island 3 is a platforming game where the player character must rescue his kidnapped girlfriend from aliens. The core activities involve navigating levels by jumping over obstacles and using projectile weapons, like boomerangs, against a variety of enemies including snails and snakes.
Level progression is organized through a world map, and individual stages are designed to be quite short. Players can select helpful items before entering a stage. The gameplay retains several elements from its direct predecessor, such as the ability to ride dinosaurs and use a skateboard. Collecting fruit items like grapes and apples is also a recurring mechanic.
