What each player can do here

P1 · Player 1
  • Mario, Luigi or a Toad: the standard heroes, who get the full effect of every power-up, including the gliding Super Acorn.
  • Toadette can take this seat too: the Super Crown turns her into Peachette, who floats, double-jumps and bounces back once out of a pit before landing again.
P2 · Players 2–4
  • Nabbit: enemy attacks never hurt him and his courses start with 100 extra seconds, but power-ups do nothing for him, and pits, lava, poison or getting crushed still cost a life.
  • Either player can tuck into a bubble during multiplayer and float along until ready to rejoin; Deluxe uses two buttons held together for this.one guide

If your skill levels differ: Nintendo made Nabbit and Toadette for younger and less experienced players, so the newer player takes one of them. Nabbit ignores enemy hits, which means that seat mostly fails on pits and lava; the more confident player takes Mario, Luigi or a Toad and grabs the power-ups. How to split the roles

Boss

KamekThe tower boss

  1. Block room: Kamek fills the room with blocks. Climb them and stomp him fast; if you wait, his spell drops the blocks and frees the enemies inside. Three stomps.
  • After each stomp he flies around firing spells that turn blocks into falling Donut Blocks.one guide

Ludwig von KoopaThe castle boss

  1. Clones: Ludwig makes two copies; all three shoot and then drop. The real one fires three shots, not two, and lands last.
  2. Stomps: Stomp the real Ludwig; three hits beat him.
  • After the second hit the three of them fire faster and swap places.one guide

Bowser Jr.The airship boss

  1. Punches: He hovers in his Clown Car with boxing gloves and lobs Bob-ombs. When a punch lands and the arm stays out, run up the arm and stomp him; three stomps win.
