Certain beings in the world can change the default shape of the LocoRoco into other forms, such as squares or triangles, which lasts until they wash off in water or they encounter another similar being.

There are six varieties of LocoRoco in the game, identified by their color, appearance, and musical voice, but outside of the first 'Yellow' one, the rest are unlocked as the player completes the level.

LocoRoco is divided into 5 worlds each consisting of 8 levels.
