Little Nemo must travel through eight “dreams” (levels) in Slumberland to meet Princess Camille and rescue King Morpheus from the Nightmare King. Nemo can jump, but his only weapon until the final level is an unlimited supply of candy, which he tosses in an arc. The sweets merely stun most enemies. However, some creatures will fall asleep upon consuming three candies. Nemo can then ride them or assume their forms as if they were costumes.
