Despite your choice, the characters will all have equal abilities. Unfortunately, the game does not feature an online mode, so you’ll have to be in the same room as your friends to play co-op.
#4 Game Play Modes
While saving the princess, gamers will be able to choose from two different play modes. The first is called “Coin Battle”, which awards a winner following every level based on the number of coins collected. The second, even more competitive option is called “Free Mode”, which ranks players in order of their coins collected, in addition to points scored and amount of enemy kills.

Plus, various new weapon items such as the Ice Flower will allow you to freeze your enemies.
#7 The Super Guide

Nintendo has pioneered this feature in the hopes of eliminating any possible frustration to younger gamers, and keeping the game going!
