Mario in the Multiverse

The game uses a third-person 3D platforming structure. Players move through themed stages, jumping, attacking, and interacting with objects to reach objectives and uncover secrets. Each world introduces its own mechanics and abilities, some of which also unlock new routes in other stages. Progress is driven mainly by star collection, with exploration, optional challenges, and route discovery forming the core loop.

Mario

The protagonist who travels across the multiverse to restore balance and collect stars.

Professor E. Gadd

The inventor whose malfunctioning Multiverse Machine triggers the crisis.

Atreus

A central destination tied to the wish at the center of the universe.

Learn the unique ability of each world before rushing ahead, since many secrets require revisiting earlier stages with new tools. When a star feels out of reach, continue onward and return later with additional movement options or interactions. Pay attention to camera angles during precision platforming, and look for alternate routes rather than forcing one solution. Ability combinations are often more valuable than raw execution.

Tips and tricks

• Keep a mental note of which stages grant movement or utility abilities.
• Revisit old levels after gaining new powers to find shortcuts and hidden stars.
• Use the camera carefully in narrow platform sections to avoid misreads.
