The game mixes side-scrolling and top-down stages with combat focused on punches, web attacks, grabs, and aerial combos. Players move with the D-pad and use buttons for jumping, attacking, and web actions, while certain sequences rely on the stylus for special interactions or quick tasks. Missions include city traversal, enemy encounters, scripted events, and boss fights against major film villains. Progress is mission-based, with abilities and challenge flow shaped by the black suit mechanics.

Strategy
Use web control to isolate stronger enemies before committing to combos. In crowded fights, keep moving and punish openings rather than staying in place. Stylus sections are usually about timing, so steady input matters more than speed. Against bosses, learn attack patterns first and save your highest-damage strings for post-evade openings. If black suit mechanics are active, avoid reckless aggression and manage recovery opportunities carefully.
