Tribals are hidden throughout the levels, and to fully complete the game and defeat Mizar a player must collect them all. The game's main collectible item is the Tribal, a small Ewok-like creature. Because the three playable characters posses different abilities, each can access areas inaccessible to the other two. Later in the game, players are able to visit each planet with any of the available characters. Many levels feature situations where players can take different paths to reach objectives. Levels were non-linear, with a focus on exploration and the collection of items to aid the player or allow for further progression. Unlike many shooters, Jet Force Gemini featured a structure similar to 3D platformers of the time. A Tribal is visible on the doorway in the background. Floyd is controlled by the second player in Co-Op games.
With the federation ignoring the threat only the Gemini squadron are left to save Earth.
It soon becomes apparent that Mizar wants more than Goldwood's surrounding planets but wants to control the entire universe including the destruction of Earth. Upon landing Juno is greeted by King Jeff, the leader of the tribals who shows him that Mizar is systematically invading planets and seems to have almost an infinite army. Frustrated at the inaction of their government who believe that Mizar is not a threat the Gemini squadron head towards the planet, splitting off into separate paths. The attackers are the drones of space tyrant Mizar, who sees Goldwood as a valuable resource and the tribals as slaves and easily dispatched if need be. The game starts with Gemini squadron (Juno, Vela and their trusty dog Lupus) in orbit of the planet Goldwood when they witness an attack upon the the planets native population, a bear like race called tribals. In addition to an extensive single player campaign, Jet Force Gemini also offered split-screen mulitplayer modes. Reviewers considered this one of the game's weak points. Like Banjo Kazooie, and many platformers of the time, the game contains a huge number of collectible items. The platforming allows for a shift away from linear level progression towards one that encouraged exploration in a manner similar to other Rare produced games, such as Banjo Kazooie. While primarily a shooter, the game also contains many platforming elements. Jet Force Gemini is a third-person shooter developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64.
