Boss battles also take the form of puzzles, often requiring careful timing. As always, the game has its own unique quirks, for instance taking advantage of its large character library in areas that require two specific characters to team up in order to proceed.
Players often have to solve puzzles spread across the game environment, such as figuring out how to move a particular truck that is blocking their progression.
Gameplay is similar to Lego's long-running series of franchise video games, with a focus on puzzle solving interspersed with action.
