Mighty No. 9 is focused on 2D platforming with a blend of 2D and 3D artwork and
animation. The player is able to run, jump and shoot projectiles at enemies they
encounter. Furthermore, the player will be able to acquire both weapons and abilities
from enemies they defeat. The game will feature an intro level followed by the eight
main stages, which are freely chosen in any order by the player. At the end of each
stage, Beck, the protagonist, must face one of the other eight "Mighty
Number" units in a boss battle. A final set of stages are unlocked at the end of
the game, leading up to the final showdown. An additional level starring Call is also
available at some point, provided through one of the completed stretch
goals.
