Plot
Beethoven's four puppies are missing so he has to tear through the neighborhood to find them.[4][5] Players must visit the puppies' favourite haunts in an adventurous mystery.[4]

Gameplay
Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper is a side-scrolling and platform game. Beethoven uses a supersonic waved barking attack that is used against enemies like dogcatchers and cats.[6] Players can use growling to charge Beethoven's bark which increases the destructive power. When Beethoven is soaked by water in the game, he can shake the water off at enemies which causes them to take damage.[7][6]

During the game, the player must rescue each of the puppies that belongs to Beethoven and Missy. There are two divided sections in each level, which involves guiding Beethoven to the puppy and then bringing Missy the puppy back.[7]

Reception
Video game journalist Roy Bassave praised the game's graphics and action moves while calling it a family game.[5][8] Nintendo Power gave Beethoven: The Ultimate Canine Caper a 2.475 out of 5 rating (49.50% ratio).[9]
