There are even some enemies in the game that carry the same emotions as you do. Goombas and Koopas can have Rage just like you can, and when they stomp in a level, they create an earthquake effect that shakes everything on screen. Some enemies can have the Joy emotion, which causes them to look very happy, and float around you. The Gloom emotion that your enemies may carry causes them to run extremely fast while crying. Each of these emotions that your enemies may carry can be identified by what color they are. A red-colored enemy means it has Rage, while blue represents Gloom and yellow represents Joy.

Just as your emotions, your umbrella Perry can be used as a weapon to harm enemies, as well as destroying objects. By pressing the B button, you can swing your umbrella at enemies to knock them out. Perry can also be used to scoop up enemies and throw them at others. There are a handful of abilities that Perry can use when you unlock them in the shop. For example, unlocking the "Floatbrella," ability can be used to float in the air for one second using Perry. Perry can eat enemies to revive some energy in the Vibe Gauge, destroy enemies to retrieve coins, and do many other tasks.

The shop can be used to purchase new mini games, songs, and abilities. When you collect coins, you can use them as money for the shop to buy items. You can increase your life meter or vibe gauge by coughing up some coins, as well as earning new songs and puzzle pieces to play with. You can access the shop by pressing the R button on the select world screen.

When selecting a world, you can also press the L button to get a menu to pop up that has a handful of things to do. You can play one of the three mini-games, play a puzzle, or listen to some music. Music and puzzle pieces can be bought in the shop, or found in levels. The puzzles are fairly easy, just as the game is, and each puzzle can be solved in about 30 seconds. The three mini games, Toad Jump, Toad Tote, and Toad Shot, are all equally very fun to play, and each feature 10 levels. They're also a fast way to receive coins while having some fun.

Toad Jump involves you blowing into the mic to make Toad jump over obstacles and reach the end of the path. Toad Shot involves you tapping the screen to hit the flying targets and getting the score you need before time runs out. The final mini game, Toad Tote, involves you having a steady hand. You need to use your stylus and drag Toad to the end of the stage through a narrow pathway while avoiding surrounding fire and other obstacles before the time runs out.
