The control scheme varies depending on which platform is being used. For example, when playing games designed for the [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]], only 8 commands (up, down, left, right, a, b, start and select) are accepted. When playing games designed for the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]], these commands are expanded to the touchscreen (users input with pairs of three-digit coordinates) and other controls, such as the 3DS's Circle Pad. The channel is currently able to play games on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Users may check the current valid commands by typing !commands in the Twitch chat. | The control scheme varies depending on which platform is being used.

By default, inputs are entered and accepted in a mode known as '''Anarchy'''. Anarchy is the mode the channel is best known for. In this mode, inputs are accepted as soon as the system receives them, in the order in which it was received. When Anarchy is enabled, user commands will be shown as a reverse-waterfall scroller situated to the right side the screen, with usernames being displayed alongside the command the user entered. Anarchy has a lesser-known mode known as '''Turbo''', wherein Commander will continually select last few inputs entered will continually be selected in a loop, rather than selecting inputs based on a first come, first serve basis. Turbo can presently only be enabled by the stream host. | ====Anarchy and Democracy==== | ||
Anarchy and Democracy are two modes that determine how inputs are recognized by Commander. By default, inputs are entered and accepted in a mode known as '''Anarchy'''.

In addition to Anarchy and Turbo, there is an additional mode known as '''Democracy''' which users can vote to enable in chat. This mode will be activated after a certain number of unique users have entered the command "democracy" in chat. In Democracy, only the input with the highest number of votes in a given timespan will be selected. The input display on screen will also change, now showing the users who have voted for an input, with a three-bar chart at the top of the screen showing which inputs are in the lead. Up to nine simultaneous commands can be entered in Democracy, as opposed to the maximum three for Anarchy. For example, the input a9 will result in the "a" button being pressed nine times. This can be combined with a variety of other inputs so long as the total number of button presses is 9. Anarchy can be re-enabled the same way Democracy is enabled, by having enough users vote "anarchy" in chat. | In addition to Anarchy and Turbo, there is an additional mode known as '''Democracy''' which users can vote to enable in chat.

Both Anarchy and Democracy have their advantages and disadvantages, and are often a source of controversy in the community as to which system "should" be used. Generally speaking, Anarchy is ideal for situations that require speed, such as the Noble Pokémon battles of Arceus. Democracy is optimal for situations that require finer control, such as navigating through menus | Both Anarchy and Democracy have their advantages and disadvantages, and are often a source of controversy in the community as to which system "should" be used.
