Quick notes

  • The Yoshis share the carrying task. Different-colored Yoshis take turns across stages.
  • Baby Mario and Peach establish swapping. Their speed and wind abilities introduce the game’s central puzzle system.
  • DK, Wario and Bowser broaden the routes. Vines, magnetic objects and burnable obstacles give each later baby a clear use.
  • Kamek and adult Bowser drive the plot. Baby Bowser’s temporary cooperation is distinct from the adult villain’s role.
