* BottomlessPits: Inverted. If you fall below the screen, you just WrapAround to the top, and while it ''might'' kill you if you keep falling and wrapping around repeatedly, most stages are designed to avoid this. But if you stand ''above'' the screen, you get a countdown to get back to ground or else you lose a life. This can be disabled in the options, though.

The game is a 4 player competition with several modes of play. Built around a Mario Brothers world, you play as a color coded Mario (or any of the skins you download) and try to win by accomplishing the goal before anybody else or have the highest points before the time ends.
