Controls

The common controls for all characters are as follows:



Every character, in addition to the universal attack and jump commands, has specialized abilities. For example, Shrek, the largest of the team, is the only one who is able to lift and carry large objects, and Gingerbread Man is the only one who can hit far away objects by throwing a candy cane or lure enemies out into the open with cookies.

The circle button or "action" button is used primarily as a soft key for various things, such as lifting a crate or pulling a lever.
