Capcom World 2 can be played by two players, with both players given the chance to answer the same question simultaneously. The player begins by being asked to choose from one of four different characters: Wing the Warrior (戦士・ウィング) can sometimes score two points by answering a single question correctly; Pure the Mage (魔法使い・ピュア) has the ability to select the genre of her questions; Fur the Cat (猫・ファー) can sometimes eliminate one or two wrong answers from his choices and Lyric the Priest (僧侶・リリック) is more likely to recover energy than the others with correct answers. After selecting the character, the player chooses between three different courses to determine the difficulty of the questions: Beginner, Normal, and Expert.
