Steel has a unique flying level that plays more like a combat level as he doesn't use his projectile attacks and relies on his melee attack. Strangely, Superman never has a flying level and instead plays through three standard melee levels.
No boss characters appear in these levels. When playing the flying levels, the player can move the character anywhere in the screen while firing the character's projectile move at greatly weakened enemies. The standard melee levels consist of the character fighting through "common" enemies and ending the level with a fight with a "boss" character.
With the exceptions of Superman and to a point the Man of Steel, each character has two standard types of level: melee combat and flying in which only projectile moves can be used. However, certain screens in which the character is on an elevated platform the flying ability is almost completely negated. Also, many obstacles can be passed only by flying. There are also certain areas and levels where flying is mandatory. There are also characters that have the ability to fly and are thereby easier to defeat if confronted in the air. Each Superman has the ability to fly and can thereby avoid certain characters or obstacles using this ability. Their attacks only slightly vary, mostly in range and appearance. Although different in appearance, each character has the same basic abilities: standard melee attacks (punches), grappling attacks (get close enough to character and attack), throws (holding the forward key and attacking), grab and throw upward (holding the "up" key and attacking), grab and throw backward (holding the "back" key and attacking), or grab and pummel (hold the "down" key and attack), a projectile attack, and an "ultimate" attack that destroys all standard enemies on the screen.
A set number of foes will enter the screen and only after they are defeated can the character continue on the quest. The Death and Return of Superman has standard "beat 'em up" gameplay, in which the player controls a character that can move in all directions.
