## Gameplay

In a gameplay of M.U.G.E.N Trilogy, the player can use the style of gameplay from *Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes* (in 2D) and *Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds* (in 3D). Whenever the player chooses one of the styles, it can be changed later in the Options Menu.

In Arcade Mode, the player travels through nine stages and defeat Abyss (in the MvC2 style) and Galactus (in the MvC3) style at the tenth and final stage. The character's Arcade Mode boss will be shown on the ninth stage of this mode. In Versus Mode, the player can select the number of characters from 1-9 to start the battle. When the character limit is at 1, the player can freely select the number of rounds from 1-9. Players can also add their own names on their slot. In Survival Mode, the player must keep fighting each and every opponent until his/her health bars of their own characters become depleted. In Tournament Mode, players battle against each other in a Single-Elimination Tournament bracket (similar to the mode from the Super Smash Bros. franchise starting with Melee). In Training, the player can practice his/her combat skills against an opponent. In Watch Mode, the player can select characters for two AI-Controlled Computer players to battle it out against each other.

## Characters

There are tons of characters from each franchise in this game, although Kung Fu Man appears to be non-playable and makes a cameo in Kung Fu Man's dojo The Mii Fighters (Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner) can be unlocked from the Mii Fighter Customization Menu, while many different playable characters (such as the ones from *Marvel Comics*, *Street Fighter*, *Sonic the Hedgehog*, *Kirby*, *Super Mario*, *Fire Emblem*, *Pokémon*, *Touhou Project*, *Pikmin* and *Kid Icarus*) can be unlocked by the use of their amiibo and scanning their AR Cards using the *AR Digits Card Reader* mobile app for Android and iOS tablets and phones after linking to the Nintendo Switch with a six-digit code. Once a character has been scanned, he or she has joined the battle. Only eight characters can be scanned at a time on a single day. This does not count for when players are using amiibos for several characters. As of September 15, 2019, up to ten characters can now be scanned on a single day. In the MvC3 style of this fighting game, each character has their own music theme, should the background music be set to *Original* in the Options menu. Some characters either have original or remixed music themes from various types of video games.

## Stages

Each stage can be unlocked by scanning their AR Card using the AR Digits Card Reader mobile app. Stages that are unlocked from the start are Kung Fu Man's Dojo, and the Training Stages from the past M.U.G.E.N game and both Marvel vs. Capcom 2 & 3. Stages that can be scanned using the M.U.G.E.N AR Card Reader app can only be unlocked up to eight times a day after linking to the Nintendo Switch with a six-digit code. As of September 15, 2019, up to ten stages can be unlocked at a time. Should the background music in the MvC3 style of this fighting game becomes set to Dynamic, then the background stage music for all stages during gameplay will begin to play.
