Quick notes
- Each hero solves a different obstacle. Mario flips dimensions, Peach floats, Bowser breathes fire and Luigi launches upward.
- The full party is assembled gradually. Peach joins after Chapter 1, Bowser after the Chapter 3-1 confrontation, and Luigi during the interlude before Chapter 7.
- Tippi uses the pointer rather than the ordinary jump controls. Point the Wii Remote at the screen and inspect suspicious objects or people.
- Bowser trades speed for damage. His ordinary attacks deal twice the standard damage, but his size and slower movement make him less convenient for tight platforming.
