The game uses a third-person trailing camera as the player pilots the Arwing through planets, space corridors, and enemy bases. Stages mix fast shooting, evasion, lock-on attacks, escort missions, and boss battles. Shooting down enemies, collecting power-ups, and keeping teammates alive affect scoring and route progression, while strong performance can open alternate paths through the campaign.
