Twitch users control the character by submitting the case-insensitive button names through the chat. Valid commands are A, B, up, down, left, right, and Start; Select previously was valid, but after it was used to soft reset the game, it was disabled due to having no other functional purpose. | Twitch users control the character by submitting the case-insensitive button names through the chat.

Originally, players would simply submit buttons and the game would execute as many as possible. However, after players were stuck in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] for almost 24 hours on the first [[spinner]] puzzle, the host implemented a system where players can choose between anarchy (the original method) and democracy. In democracy mode, players button presses are instead tallied, then the most popular is executed; also, players can enter compound and iterative commands (such as "start9" and "upleft"). Players can vote to switch between anarchy and democracy by using "democracy" and "anarchy" as if they were buttons; once the inactive mode reaches 75% popularity, the mode changes. | |||
Simple tasks often become extremely difficult due to the high number of players; players have spent hours trying to teach [[HM]] moves, {{m|cut}} down trees, pass through areas with [[ledge]]s, and reach crucial points in the game. | Simple tasks often become extremely difficult due to the high number of players; players have spent hours trying to teach [[HM]] moves, {{m|cut}} down trees, pass through areas with [[ledge]]s, and reach crucial points in the game. | ||
