The HP counter (not to be confused with the {{stat|HP|HP stat}} of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}) in the lower right corner acts as a timer and is constantly decreasing from 6000 HP. On the opposite side of this counter is a progress bar that shows how far Pikachu is from the shore. The game will finish once Pikachu reaches the shore. "Radness" along with remaining HP is then summed up to determine the final score.

The game scroll rate will increase the more flips Pikachu manages to pull off successfully, which consequently increases the rate at which Pikachu reaches the shore. The scroll rate drops if Pikachu fails a flip and falls underwater. If the player runs out of HP before reaching the shore, the player loses.

When the game is over, Pikachu is scored based on the remaining HP and "Radness". The hi-score is saved and can be recalled anytime by checking the printer in Summer Beach House and declining the game's request to issue a {{DL|Game Boy Printer|Printable features in Pokémon games|print}}. In the [[Game Boy]] releases, accepting the request will print a black-and-white copy of the hi-score through the [[Game Boy Printer]].

If the game is played on a [[Super Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]], {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s cheeks appear blue due to the limited color palette of these consoles. In the Japanese Yellow, Game Boy Color mode only applies a yellow and red palette to the graphics in a similar fashion to the other [[Generation I]] games, whereas the localizations use palettes with more saturated colors than those of Super Game Boy mode. As a result, Pikachu's cheeks are depicted properly in the Game Boy Color mode of the Japanese version.
