This game has a similar gameplay to Super Mario Sunshine, except the new controls are Shine Sprite bashing. Mario can change into Luigi if he runs out of lives. If you run when the time stops you are eliminated. There is also a new mode called Shine Sprite battle mode between the Mario Bros. and the Wario Bros.. If the Mario Bros. wins, you are done, if the Wario Bros. wins, you are playing the battle by yourself. So enjoy this game.
