The game provides drop in / drop out local multiplayer, with the screen dynamically splitting when the second player joins in. Many of the games are cooperative in nature. Each time you complete an event, a badge on the right side of the screen fills up and you've completed the event once the badge is filled out. Living Statues can also be discovered (and recorded) with a secondary player. To get a medal, you must collect tokens, dictating the rating you are given at the end of the level, either being Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. In time event, you must pick up time tokens to keep the clock from running out.
