The Suite Life of Zack & Cody DS is an action platform game with light puzzles. In the game, the player will independently control both twins, Zack and Cody. As in the television series, Zack and Cody manage to get themselves into outrageous situations which they then have to fix. In order to successfully complete the missions, the player will have to jump, crawl, climb, run, race, defeat "enemies" and interact using both the controls and the touch screen.
