The game uses fixed single-screen stages with layered platforms. Players move, jump, and attack within the same arena, trying to stun enemies from underneath before finishing them off by knocking them away. Hazards such as slippery surfaces and environmental obstacles affect movement and timing. Stages progress through waves, with enemy pressure increasing as the score and pace rise.

Mario

Playable protagonist who uses jumps and underside attacks to control enemies.

Luigi

Playable protagonist who teams up with Mario in two-player mode.

Hold the center of the stage and work from safe angles to funnel enemies toward the edges. Always stun enemies first, then move in quickly to knock them off before they recover. In co-op, split responsibilities between upper and lower platforms to prevent crowding. Keep moving so you don't get trapped by multiple enemies at once.

Tips and tricks
