Smackdown vs Raw 2009 includes upgrades in the tag team modes such as "hot tag" allowing players to use double team moves and finishers and then pin for the win.

The Nintendo Wii version of SvR '09 offers players more match types and techniques by using the Remote and Nunchuk. The Wii version is also adding more Superstar control by moving the wrestler during entrances and victory scenes.

In the Nintendo DS version, the gameplay changed so players can use the stylus and D-Pad to create a better handheld wrestling experience. Season Mode has also been modified into a role-playing theme that allows players to interact with WWE Superstars, complete certain missions, and improve abilities.
