Gameplay
The game is divided into episodic chapters, in which there are stages. Each spy (Sam, Clover and Alex) is playable in 3 different types of stages (horizontal, vertical and vehicle)[1] and there are 16 stages in total. Stages are viewed from a side-on or top-down perspective. Each spy has a health meter. Jerry gives the girls gadgets to assist them on their missions.
The player can unlock passwords by finding the flowers in the stages (there is 1 flower per chapter). These could be entered at the official Totally Spies! website. The game is notorious for having several individual detailed artworks as game over screens, instead of just one reoccurring one.
