The game uses primarily side-scrolling 2.5D stages. Marina’s signature mechanic is grabbing targets, shaking them, and throwing them to attack enemies or activate switches. Many stages mix standard platforming with chase sequences, shooting segments, and boss battles. Progress is chapter-based, with each stage leading into the next while encouraging players to experiment with objects, enemies, and environmental triggers.

Strategy
Learn the grab timing early, since many enemies and puzzles are designed around it. Use enemies as tools as well as threats; throwing them into walls, switches, or other enemies is often the safest solution. For tougher encounters, wait for attack openings instead of rushing in. If progression stalls, revisit the stage for interactive objects or trigger points you may have missed.

Tips and tricks
- Grabbing often interrupts enemy attacks more safely than jumping in for a stomp.
- Save throwable objects for nearby switches and mechanisms when possible.
