The game plays like a typical platformer with numerous puzzles, mini-games and boss battles in-between exploring and fighting basic enemies. Players can co-op play at the same time or work with a computer-controlled partner as they navigate through levels to collect items and unlock special characters with unique abilities.
Customization options abound, including unlockable costumes/skins for all playable characters, and customization of weapons with different colors and sound effects once earned/unlocked. The game also features many achievements/trophies to be won, and an increased difficulty mode becomes available after achieving the final trophy.
