Developed by Kemco and published outside Japan by Konami, the game presents itself as a series of humorous and whimsical mini-games, which are loosely based on sports but infused with a quirky twist that adds to the charm and appeal. Players compete in various eccentric events including boot throwing, pogo sticking over a pool of water, balancing a sack of food, and more, each designed to be enjoyable and accessible with the simplistic controls that the NES platform is known for.

The game is notable for its lighthearted interpretation of athletic competition, offering players a friendly, non-traditional approach to sports gaming.

Notable for its era, "Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular" capitalizes on the popularity of the Peanuts franchise, offering fans a novel way to engage with their favorite characters in video game form. The game, although not critically acclaimed, holds a special nostalgia for many players who grew up in the late '80s and early '90s, remembered for its simplicity, charm, and the feel-good vibe that is a signature of Charles Schulz’s creation.
