More to be added.
==Gameplay==
The two players each control Mario and Luigi in a variety of varying size and complexity, with each stage having some sort of border to prevent the players from falling off the stage, for example, Bob-omb Battlefield is surrounded with hills while Bowser's Kingdom is surrounded with lava and massive walls. Each stage is populated by enemies, items and friendly NPCs who can either provide limited assistance to Mario or are subject of one of the game's tasks.
To progress, the player must collect Sapphire Stars by completing a variety of missions, ranging from tasks such as defeating a specific enemy, completing a puzzle, collecting a set amount of items, or besting a NPC in a friendly competition. There are a total of insert number Sapphire Stars in the game, though only insert number need to be collected in order to complete the game. The Sapphire Stars are split between the main courses, secret courses and other objectives. The main courses contain six numbered missions each plus a hidden Power Star for collecting 100 coins. Though missions for a level are numbered, most missions can be performed out of order. Other missions, however, can only be completed by selecting a specific scenario from the course selection screen, as to prompt the appearance or disappearance of a character or object needed to complete the task.
The game is primarily set inside and around Princess Peach's Castle, itself divided in multiple rooms containing portals to locations in the Mushroom Kingdom (most represented as paintings) that lead to the game's courses. Initially, the player can only access one of the paintings and a limited section of the castle, but as the player collects Sapphire Stars, the player will be able to unlock doors leading to the other courses and open up other sections of the castle by collecting a certain number of stars and completing a boss level.
Note that each player requires a pair of Joy-Cons to play.
