Characters
Quick notes
- Choose from four playable heroes. Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad share the core movement rules.
- Assign practical co-op jobs. The players can improvise roles such as camera leader or Star Coin collector.
- Watch shared space. Players can collide, bounce on each other and pick one another up.
- Separate helpers from playable characters. Yoshi is ridden in selected courses, while Peach is the rescue objective.

| Support player | Handles nearby threats | Avoid accidental bumps. |
Useful tip
Players can collide, bounce on each other and pick one another up. Stop moving before handing over a risky jump or moving past a waiting teammate.
