The game uses side-scrolling action gameplay. You move through stages, jump across gaps, attack enemies, and make use of each character's abilities to clear hazards and progress. Levels mix platforming, enemy encounters, and timing-based movement, with advancement structured around completing each stage in sequence. Combat and survival both matter, especially in tighter sections with limited room to maneuver.

Learn each character's attack range and timing before rushing forward. In narrow platform sections, clear threats patiently instead of chasing every enemy. When foes move quickly or attack from a distance, use short movements and strike during openings to reduce damage. Mastering the ability differences can make specific stages much easier.
