''Mega Man Network Transmission'' incorporates aspects of [[Action game|action]] and [[Platform game|platforming]] games similar to other [[Mega Man (original series)|''Mega Man'']] series, while retaining the strategy and [[Role-playing video game|role-playing]] elements of the ''Battle Network'' series.<ref name="gspotrev">{{cite web|author=Gerstmann, Jeff|date=June 16, 2003|title=''Mega Man Network Transmission'' Review for GameCube|url=http://www.gamespot.com/mega-man-network-transmission/reviews/mega-man-network-transmission-review-6030115|work=[[GameSpot]]|publisher=[[CBS Interactive]]|access-date=June 17, 2010|archive-date=November 14, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114134154/http://www.gamespot.com/mega-man-network-transmission/reviews/mega-man-network-transmission-review-6030115/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ignrev">{{cite web|author=Casamassina, Matt|date=June 16, 2003|title=''Mega Man Network Transmission'' - GameCube Review|url=http://cube.ign.com/articles/424/424503p1.html|website=[[IGN]]|access-date=June 17, 2010|authorlink=Matt Casamassina|archive-date=September 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100914222139/http://cube.ign.com/articles/424/424503p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The player takes control of the protagonist Lan within the game's real world and his NetNavi MegaMan.EXE within its internet.<ref name="booklet"/> Unlike previous games in this series, Lan is restricted from moving location to location. Instead, the player uses a map screen with points of interest to travel to different [[Level (video gaming)|levels]].<ref name="gspotrev"/> Levels are opened up as the player progresses through the game, with a slight emphasis on linear progression, although MegaMan can move off-path at times. Levels typically end in a [[boss (video gaming)|boss]] battle with another NetNavi. Combat takes place in real-time, with MegaMan given the ability to jump, slide, fire his default arm cannon, and dodge enemy attacks on a [[2D computer graphics|two-dimensional plane]].<ref name="booklet"/><ref name="gspotrev"/><ref name="eurorev">{{cite web|author=Bramwell, Tom|date=July 28, 2003|title=''Mega Man Network Transmission'' GameCube Review|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_megamannt_gc|website=[[Eurogamer]]|access-date=June 17, 2010|archive-date=June 11, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611151529/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_megamannt_gc|url-status=live}}</ref>

Special abilities called "Battle Chips" are provided through a "Custom Bar" that slowly fills at the top of the screen. When the bar is full, the player can select up to five Battle Chips, which are provided from a folder of player-selected chips.<ref name="booklet"/> Ten random chips are available when the bar is full; a total of twenty can be used for each level excursion.<ref name="gspotrev"/><ref name="ignrev"/><ref name="eurorev"/><ref name="gspyrev">{{cite web|author=Turner, Benjamin|date=June 16, 2003|title=''Mega Man Network Transmission''|url=http://cube.gamespy.com/gamecube/mega-man-network-transmission/5929p1.html|work=[[GameSpy]]|publisher=[[IGN]]|access-date=June 19, 2010|archive-date=July 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711072522/http://cube.gamespy.com/gamecube/mega-man-network-transmission/5929p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Battle Chips are used for dealing large amounts of damage to enemies, protecting and restoring the player's health, summoning other Navi's to MegaMan's aid, and for some platforming abilities. Certain chips can even be combined to be more effective.<ref name="gspotrev"/> Although Battle Chips are limited in quantity, they can be picked up from deleted enemies or can be purchased at shops when not exploring the internet. As in previous ''Battle Network'' games, items that upgrade MegaMan's maximum health, firing power, and other attributes can also be accessed.<ref name="booklet"/><ref name="gspyrev"/>
