The game is presented from a third-person 3D perspective. Players move through the castle, aim, and fire a shotgun while still relying on familiar platform-style movement such as jumping and turning. Progress is driven less by collecting stars and more by interacting with, damaging, or destroying objects, doors, and characters around the castle. Many moments are about triggering reactions and uncovering how different areas respond to violence and exploration.
Mario
The main character, armed with a shotgun throughout the game.
Princess Peach
The castle’s owner and a central figure in the setting.
Toad
A mushroom attendant character who appears in the castle.
