The video game uses the same type of controls used by NES consoles and up to 4 players can join the game. The multiplayer mode doesn’t have a VS mode, however the Co-Op will allow the players to help each other and beat the bosses that can be found at the end of each level. The game also supports the Nunchuk and the classic Wii Controller which will help the player to perform the required moves very fast. In Bit.Trip Runner, Commander Video has to jump and duck in order to avoid different obstacles while he also has to collect different rewards. Each level is different and the ending battles will put Commander Video in front of great challenges as most of the bosses are inspired from the games released in the past for Atari platform.
