The main mode is a side-scrolling platformer where players choose among Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad, each with different jumping, running, and lifting traits. Levels revolve around grabbing enemies and objects, then throwing them to defeat foes, clear obstacles, and open routes. The included Mario Bros. mode uses an arcade-style single-screen setup focused on knocking enemies off platforms and collecting coins, with both cooperative and competitive play supported.

Mario
Balanced all-rounder and the most beginner-friendly choice.
Luigi
Higher jump and a lighter movement feel.
Princess Peach
Can float briefly, making some gaps easier to cross.
Toad
Strong lifting ability and quick handling of objects.
Learn each character's movement quirks before tackling tougher stages. In Super Mario Bros. 2, hold onto enemies for a moment and look for chains or safer throw angles instead of tossing immediately. Use POW blocks and large items to control crowded screens. In Mario Bros., positioning matters more than speed, so watch enemy spawn patterns and keep an escape lane open.
No reliable universal cheat codes are confirmed.
Tips
Peach's float can rescue risky jumps and awkward landings.
Tips
Jump-throwing often clears enemies more safely than standing throws.
Tips
In Mario Bros., anticipate enemy respawns and control the center of the screen.
