You can explore the screen as much as you want. All of the level is on one screen, but you can walk around and nothing will happen until you activate items. The tools are located at various positions around the screen. There's a text label along with the signatuhe music for the item. Certain tools are only available on certain levels, so you have to explore to find out if there's a shield or a slingshot on that level. There's definitely a path to follow, but there are lots of things to accomplish along the way.
