The characters have no health bar, lives (the game ends when all the characters are defeated/captured, one by one) or special abilities. Characters can be swapped freely in almost all places. Characters are defeated from touching harmful enemies or objects, or being captured by the security guard, Ralph. Defeated/captured characters can be recovered by completing a "Rescue" stage that appears when one or two characters are defeated or captured. Characters can pick up and throw things as well as execute a dash move. If all three are together, they can also stack themselves up to reach higher platforms. The stack move can be performed with two characters, however the power of the stack is weakened. A slot machine at the bottom of the screen is activated after obtaining a certain number of coins and can be used for a range of power ups, such as temporary invincibility, bringing back characters who were defeated or captured earlier, and giving or taking away extra coins.
