Unlike most Barbie games, this game is a standard platform game rather than a simulation of the life of a female fashion model. Barbie must find an outfit for her date with Ken. The environment features a shopping mall level, an underwater level, and other worlds to explore. The game is also centered around collecting gems and pearls to fend off opponents. Enemies in the game include the usual sharks found in underwater levels in addition to jellyfish. Moving cubes of sugar must also be defeated in the game. The bonus rounds of the game are essentially a Concentration-type game where matching identical cards lead to extra points for the player.

I was startlingly into it until I realized the power-ups change nearly nothing...and until I had to do the closet maze. Nothing more climactic than making completely random guesses to win.
Shoutout to the Hi-Tech Expressions dev who saw the precision platforming jukebox level that caps off the NES version of this game and decided to add a teleporter maze full of horrifying wig monsters after it for this one.
Why did I even want to play this?
Fabulous.
It's a pretty mediocre GB platformer. Barbies hitbox is way too big and the game is too floaty.
good sprites, not too long
