This helps make use of the remote’s technology, and makes the game a little less like a standard Mario game and a bit more like it’s own Wii game. You’ll also need to shake the remote to help get objects or to perform a spin jump. The wii remote also offers some new aspects to gameplay, including using the tilt feature of the remote for certain platforms.
Coin Battle is particularly fun, with players racing to collect more coins than other players before the time is up. The game also includes a Free-for-All mode and a Coin-Battle mode with others. It’s a fun new twist either way, and definitely worth trying out. Multiple people make some parts of the level easier, but can also make some parts harder.
Multiplayer is optional, but when you select it you and up to three other players can tackle a level together.
