Throughout the game, players embark on a quest through various side-scrolling levels, collecting items and solving puzzles that reflect the duo's often misguided antics and humor. The primary objective is to find the missing pieces of a torn-up concert ticket to attend a show by the heavy metal band Gwar, which is central to the storyline of both the game and reflects the characters' well-known love for rock music.

The game's development and release capitalized on the peak popularity of the Beavis and Butt-head TV series during the early 1990s. The SNES version of "Beavis and Butt-head" differs significantly from its Sega Genesis counterpart, which had alternate levels and gameplay mechanics, illustrating the common practice of the era where games would often see different editions across competing platforms. In the SNES game, the design includes elements of platforming and adventure, intermixed with signature humor from the series, which were meant to attract fans of the show and gamers alike. Despite its alignment with the iconic TV series, the game received mixed reviews, with critics often citing its challenging controls and level of difficulty. Nonetheless, it serves as a nostalgic piece for fans of the era and remains a unique piece of video game history tied closely to its cultural source material.
