The game takes place in a unique place called the "Fantasy Zone," (No deeper plot is associated with Space Harrier). The Fantasy zone is a place filled with many strange creators like one-eyed mammoths, alien pods, strange looking dragons, robots and flying mushrooms etc. The main character is a man with a giant gun/rocket that allows him to fly around. He runs along in a pseudo 3D level blasting anything that comes at him.

The game has you moving forward at all times, many enemies will get in the player's way; blasting projectiles and moving along in a certain pattern. The player must also do his or her best to move out of harm's way while shooting at anything that's presented on screen. Most objects are destructible, but some are not.
