The gameplay itself takes the form of call-and-response dance and song duets with various characters, where the other character will sing a line and you’re asked to repeat it. Lyrics appear in a shaded box at the top of the screen, while input prompts appear in the first of a pair of bars along the bottom of the screen as they sing, and the player then repeats it on the second bar. Ad-libbed inputs are also permitted, and there are specific ad-lib segments.

Vanilla Essence’s performance is then graded in five categories and given an overall score. A score above 70 is a passing grade, and allows continuing to the next story segment. Between story segments there is a short full-motion video cutscene connecting the dots.

The game additionally includes a practice mode, as well as a 2-player battle mode, where two players can compare their skills.
