Gameplay
Gino The Rabbit Hunter is a platform game that is viewed from a third-person perspective. With the game based mostly on the Ape Escape series, players traverse several different environments to advance through the game. They control Gino—a boy tasked with pursuing and capturing rabbits across time, preventing them from rewriting history. Players use various gadgets to pursue and capture the rabbits, such as the Stun Stick, used as an offensive measure against enemies, and the Rabbit Net, used to capture rabbits. More gadgets become available as players progress through the game. Players also control vehicles throughout the game, including a rubber raft, which allows travel over water, and the water sub, which assists in traversing underwater

Story
The story begins when a rat named Louse invades the lab with his army of rabbits to recreate the world he sees by using a time machine, created by Professor Mac. As Gino and his best friend Kai arrive at the laboratory, they find themselves transported by Louse, along with most of his rabbit henchmen, to the various reaches of time. Realizing that leaving the rabbits to their own devices could rewrite history in disastrous ways, Professor Mac tasks Gino with finding all of the rabbits scattered across time and sending them back to the present.

Characters
Gino - The titular hero of this game. He and his friend Kai went to the lab and found the rabbit servants of Louse activating Professor Mac's time machine, sending all of them except the professor sprawling across time. Gino has been tasked by Professor Mac to capture the rabbits and save history.

Roy - Gino's best friend and the second player. He also saw the present slowly changing due to the rabbits that have been sent throughout time. He and Gino went to the lab to see what happened, only for the rabbit henchmen to send themselves and the two throughout the past timelines. But instead of being with Gino, Louse has turned Kai into his elite henchman, challenging Gino to occasional challenges.

Ari - Gino's friend and the third player. She saw Gino and Kai heading to Professor Mac's laboratory after witnessing Louse reshaping the current timeline. She, too, saw the rabbits attacking the world, and she was later captured by them, sent to one of the different timelines.

Maru - Gino's friend and the fourth player. He too was also captured by rabbits.

Professor Mac - The supporting character of the game. He is the inventor of the time machine, as well as many gadgets Gino will use throughout his journey. When Gino and Kai were sent to the past timelines, he tries to construct ways to bring them back. But the rabbits knew what he was up to, so they kidnapped the professor.

Louse - the main antagonist of this game. He was a rat who sent his rabbits across the timelines, creating a different world in the present. He did succeed, and the rabbits conquered the world while Gino was absent. But Gino managed to save his friends and stop Louse and the rabbits.
