There are three game modes in the game - normal, 3D starfighter, and 2D starfighter. Most levels use normal controls. A few levels use the 3D starfighter controls, and one (or two?) use(s) 2D.

With starfighter controls, you don't use a character, you use a ship. With normal controls, you use a character. Different characters are slightly different - some can't do certain things, others can do special things, some have a special weapon, some have no weapon.

Normal[edit]

Button Description/notes
Neutral control Move. Different characters move at different speeds.
A button Jump. Different characters jump different heights, and some can't.
Arcade-Modifier-Air.pngA button Midair jump. Not all characters can midair jump.
A button (upon landing) High jump. You can't midair jump, though.
back + A button Backflip. You can't midair jump, and not all characters can do this.
B button (with weapon) Basic attack. Different characters have different weapons, and therefore have different attacks. For characters without a weapon, this does the same as X. With a lightsaber, attacks block shots/lightsaber attacks.
B button (with lightsaber, while being attacked) Defend. This also reflects shots directly back at the enemy.
Arcade-Modifier-Tap.pngB button (with lightsaber) Attack repeatedly.
Arcade-Modifier-Air.pngB button (with lightsaber) Midair attack.
Arcade-Modifier-Air.pngB button (with lightsaber, after midair jump) Midair attack. However, instead of continuing forward, you stop in midair and go straight down.
B button (unarmed) Take out weapon.
X button Force/special move. Jedis and Siths use the Force, characters with blasters can grapple, and some drones can open certain doors, marked with their face.
X button (with weapon) Disarm.
Y button Switch with a nearby friendly character. If you're facing and near a friendly character, you can switch places with him/her.
L button/R button Switch with a character selected before the level. (only in Free Play) L switches to the left, R switches to the right.

3D Starfighter[edit]

Button Description/notes
Neutral control Move. The ship automatically moves so you have little real control over it, but you still have to move a little to dodge things.
A button Accelerate.
B button Shoot. There are enemies and targets you have to hit.

2D Starfighter[edit]
