The dream may have been a warning about what was going to happen in the West Mansion in the next game. The ending would suggest that Rick was possibly dreaming all the events of this game when he is seen on the hill with Jennifer. If both of the crystal orbs are collected during the game, a shot at the end with Rick and Jennifer approaching the West Mansion like in the original Splatterhouse will be revealed. New to the series is the password system, which allows players to enter stages through four digit numbers. The number of enemies needed is seen at the top of the screen. By defeating a certain number of enemies, Rick's health bar grows. This game also features an experience point system.

Instead of using punches and kicks, Rick wields an axe and can pick up a shotgun with limited ammo during certain levels. Unlike the other Splatterhouse games, Wanpaku Graffiti focuses more on platforming elements than beat 'em up gameplay. Rick faces the boss of the first level, a Michael Jackson inspired vampire.
