This time around it will feature all your favorite mushroom kingdom residents competing in alternate reality arenas that combine two locales together. From there the game consists of four on four games consisting of the usual shenanigans fans of Mario Sports have come to expect.
This time around, the game includes some new editions to gameplay. For starters gear in the game can alter characters’ appearances, but will also alter their stats such as strength, speed, or shooting. Second, a new hyper strike move has been added to the game that will take time to power up but should it be executed will score two goals instead of one.
