The game uses a side-scrolling view with one-player action through mission-based stages. You control Spider-Man or the Green Goblin, attacking groups of enemies with basic strikes, jumps, and character-specific special moves. Levels emphasize forward progress, clearing waves of opponents, and occasionally using movement skills or stage features to cross gaps and vertical sections. Unlocking the next mission is tied to clearing the current objective rather than collecting large amounts of upgrades.

Strategy
Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and use jumps or quick repositioning to break enemy pressure. Save special moves for tougher enemies or clustered groups. In narrow areas, focus on interrupting attackers before they chain hits on you. When a stage includes ranged foes, eliminate them first so you can control the pace of the fight.
