Two routes through one room
Forest Temple makes its two characters useful in different places. Fireboy and Watergirl have distinct elemental limits, so the route that works for one may be wrong for the other. Before moving, it is worth reading the room as a pair of connected journeys. Getting ahead is not the same as getting both characters through.
Helping is a visible action
Switches and lifts turn cooperation into something concrete. One player changes the situation so the other can move, then the roles may reverse. That makes discussion part of the pleasure. You are not merely occupying the same screen; you are forming a sequence that neither half of the partnership can ignore.
A shared keyboard changes the mood
The classic arrangement puts two people at one device. A solo player can control both characters, though that asks for a different kind of coordination. It is a better choice for a deliberate shared puzzle than for an online meet-up. Agreeing on the next step can matter as much as the jump that follows.
