Super Mario Ball

Super Mario Ball is a 2.5D platformer game developed by Nintendo EDP for the Nintendo Switch. It is an enhanced remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance title, Mario Pinball Land, featuring the same story, worlds and bosses in a new gameplay style in a similar vein to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Though references are made to the original cartoony art style in the boxart, the remake adopts the standard modern art style seen in recent Super Mario games.
==Story==
The story takes place in an amusement park called the Fun Fair, run by Mario and Luigi. They are watching some Toads and Princess Peach wait in line to try a ride called the Sky Cannon. To ride it, the rider must be turned into a ball first via the Pinballer, after which they are shot out of the cannon. The Toad who tries it first has fun. As Peach is about to take her turn, two Goombas appear and change the direction the cannon is aiming toward Bowser's Castle. Mario and Luigi head to Bowser's Castle in pursuit. 
At the end of the game, Mario and Luigi confront Bowser and fight him. When Bowser is defeated, he is launched out of the castle. Mario, Luigi and Peach head back to the carnival. 
==Gameplay==
Super Mario Ball is a 2.5D platformer with a top-down perspective. The player controls either Mario or Luigi, who roam around the area that they are in to find Power Stars in order to open the doors. They can be swapped out on the pause menu. A Power Star can be collected by either defeating every enemy in an area, completing a challenge in the blue tent at the Fun Fair, or collecting every Red Coin in an area. There is a total of 315 Stars to collect. If Mario or Luigi defeats every enemy in an area where he already collected its Star, a question mark appears instead. If they touch it, a roulette spins, and they obtains whichever item it lands on.
There are ten stages on top of the original five from the original game, each being separated into various areas. In the last area of each stage, there is a boss who carries a Star Key. There are nine Star Keys, and each unlocks a boss statue in Bowser's Castle. Once every statue is unlocked, Mario or Luigi can face off against Bowser. Boss fights make usage of the Sky Cannon seen in the Fun Fair in order to damage them. 
Every stage has a Toad Tent which Mario or Luigi can access in order to buy some power ups with the Coins that they have collected in the areas.
