Quick notes
- Mario’s style determines his abilities. A course’s visual style also changes the move set.
- Mystery Mushrooms use unlocked costumes. Costume Mario belongs to the Super Mario Bros. style.
- Helpers depend on the style. Yoshi appears in the two later styles.
- Build around the obstacle’s behavior. A Hammer Bro or Bowser changes the space a player needs to react.
