Character Info[]

Mage[]

Mage is very easy to control, he can jump really high, but he is the slowest character making it easier to walk on icy surfaces or bridges without railings, he is slightly faster when playing on a PlayStation 3 or Wii U. His gun varies on what system the game is being played on.

  • PS2 / Wii: Barret
  • PS3 / Xbox 360: Desert Eagle
  • Wii U: Golden Uzi

Bagel[]

Bagel is slightly harder to control, he can't jump as high as Mage, but he can float. He is much faster, making it easy for the player to slip, though for an unknown reason, on the PS2 version his hat is larger, this is fixed in the Japanese version. His only weapon is his cane or a small hammer.

Gorge[]

Gorge is fairly easy to control, he jumps fairly well, he can also swim underwater easier than the other characters. His main ability is Coke Sprayer, he also uses a sword.

Matt[]

Matt is fair to control, he floats rather than jumps. He has the ability to throw hammers and turn invisible, he is the fastest character. If the player manages to beat the game only using Matt, they will be rewarded with a trophy of Elysium.

Invader Rob[]

Rob is the hardest to control, he jumps hardly off the ground, but can eat enemies. He can also throw Irken blades.

Minor Characters[]

Web[]

Web serves as your tour guide in the game, he will often say a little bit about the location, or tell a corny joke.
