Here’s What’s New in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury

Online Multiplayer

While the original Wii U version of Super Mario 3D World featured four-player local co-op, the Switch takes it one step further by introducing online multiplayer, too.

This enables players to simply create their own multiplayer room for players on their friends list to join, or for them to join a room their friends may already have set up.

You can add a password to prevent random players from your friends list from joining, and you’ll each select one of the four characters as you make your way through the various levels.

It’s worth pointing out that only Super Mario 3D World has online multiplayer. Bowser’s Fury also has co-op multiplayer, but this is limited to local couch co-op play.
