Players can combine over 200 equipment items and 90 unique weapons to build their preferred character. The 1.0 update, called the Phantom Update, adds two major new levels and three unique bosses. JUMP KING QUEST also supports online multiplayer, allowing players to team up with friends or encounter unknown players dynamically during gameplay. Full Japanese language support is included.
