The actual gameplay though, it's a 3D [[Fighting Game]] with some destructible environments and a meter which you can fill up to execute a Slam attack. A successful Slam makes the target character to be pushed around the stage, further destroying and changing it. Up to four players can fight at the same time.

Fiona is the one with probably the less amount of it thanks to be already a [[Badass Princess]] with kung-fu fighting abilities, with Shrek not far behind. Gingerbread Man and Pinocchio, which have zero, have the most.
