Gameplay is very similar to the upcoming Mario title Super Mario Odyssey, which is not made by Cooki Studios. the player will explore various areas in order to recruit characters from other universes. the characters will maintain Mario's moveset from previous 3D titles, including the Long Jump, Roll, Ground Pound, Spin Jump, the Triple Jump and the Dive, the last of which hasn't appeared since Super Mario Sunshine. In addition, Cappy returns in this game and allies with Mario, and takes possession of his cap like he did in Super Mario Odyssey. Mario can throw Cappy as if he were a boomerang, and it can also "capture" certain objects and enemies to take control of them.
The life meter also returns with three health, similar to Super Mario Galaxy. if a player dies, said player loses 10 coins like in Super Mario Odyssey.
Each character has 2 special powers, one that is usually shared by others. and the other is exclusive to the character.
