The game is divided up not into worlds, but into weeks, with every stage being a different day. Grace and Savannah alternate levels on Monday through Saturday before they must team up on Sunday to take on a line of ninjas by playing with not the touch screen, but with gyro controls. The entire game is wrapped up with full-motion video cutscenes showing Grace and Savannah engaging in random activities.

** The line of people crowding around Savannah want to send her to an intergalactic death by activating a button that sends her down a pit, yet her equally as bizarre way of getting back is to engage in eliminating them.

The game is a reskin of a previous Nintendo puzzle game, VideoGame/{{Magnetica}}, but instead of marbles it is played with...people?!

YES! In ''Tokyo Crash Mobs'' the object of the game is to clear people marching in a line by throwing a person of an identical colored outfit in their direction. The character doing the throwing is one of two women, Grace or Savannah, both of who play slightly differently. Grace throws people which means they come in attacking from above but Savannah rolls people meaning that they will hit a person from below. This also means that a person in the line can avoid an incoming person by jumping up. Grace must eliminate people from a line to try and enter a store earlier than the rest of the crowd but as for Savannah, the reason she is clearing lines of people is so they don't march up to a BigRedButton that will drop her through a pit into an intergalactic death.
