The gameplay is very similar to the features found in Power Instinct 2, but with a major difference: This time the battles revolved around tag team matches. Each player must select a "partner" who fights first, and a "leader" who takes over if the partner loses. It is much similar to The King of Fighters where the fighters cannot be switched in the middle of the battle, and the switch only occurs if one is defeated. Depending of the combination of characters the team will have a special name, also by combining specific character there will be special pre-fight and post-fight Dialogues, for example if the team is conformed by Otane and Oume there will be a special dialogues if they confront a team lead by Oshima.
