The game uses a 2D side-scrolling perspective with Mario traveling across a world map and clearing stages through jumping, stomping enemies, collecting coins, and uncovering hidden exits. Progression spans seven main worlds, with the possibility of an extra hidden world unlocked through secrets. Standard and secret goal paths can open different routes. Controls closely follow New Super Mario Bros., including running, jumping, crouching, wall jumps, and item-based power-ups, while later stages introduce denser hazards and trickier platform setups.
Mario
The main playable hero who sets out to rescue Princess Peach.
Luigi
Mario's brother, present in the broader story context though the main quest centers on Mario.
Princess Peach
The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, kidnapped again and waiting to be rescued.
Bowser Jr.
One of the villains behind Peach's abduction and the catalyst for the adventure.
Bowser
The major final boss encountered at Bowser's Castle near the end of the game.
Look for secret exits early, since many alternate paths, shortcuts, and hidden areas depend on them. When entering a new world, learn enemy placement and terrain first before attempting full collectible runs. Keep momentum during long pit sections and moving-platform sequences, as hesitant stopping often causes mistakes. In castles and fortresses, pause to read trap timing before committing to jumps. Save useful power-ups for stages with vertical sections or dense hazards where extra survivability matters more.
Tips and tricks
Secret exits are often hidden near the end of a stage, above the main route, or behind false walls.
Tips and tricks
Clearing the main path first and returning for collectibles is usually more efficient.
Tips and tricks
On fast-moving platforms, jump early instead of waiting until the platform edge.
