Gameplay

In the beginning only Red is playable but as the game progresses, one can play as Yellow who has the power to double jump, and Green who can attack with a racket. In the lobby, there are parts blocked by doors with the face of a character which requires the use of that character (depending on the color and image of the door M&M only that M&M can enter). The game has 1 boss of the world and the final is a snowman.
