What each player can do here

P1 · Player 1
  • Captain Toad, or Toadette in her chapters: no jumping at all. You walk, pull plants out of Pluck Patches, throw turnips and turn the camera to read each course.
P2 · Player 2 (Assist Mode or Adventure for Two)
  • Assist Mode: Player 2 steers a pointer and fires red turnips at enemies and loose coins. Those turnips cannot press switches, break Rock Blocks or hurt bosses.
  • Adventure for Two (added in 2019): Player 2 runs a second explorer with the full move set. A fallen player floats back in a bubble; if both go down together, the course restarts.one guide
  • Both two-player modes work only in TV or tabletop mode; Assist Mode is played with a pair of Joy-Con, one per player.

If your skill levels differ: Hand the newer player the Assist Mode pointer: Nintendo pitches the second seat as tossing turnips at enemies, while Player 1 keeps the puzzles and the walking. Move to Adventure for Two once you both want a character of your own. How to split the roles
