| The game was to be a two-dimensional side-scrolling game that would also use three-dimensional perspectives, such as moving between the background and foreground of the level. It would star [[Mario]] as the main character, using classic ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style elements such as [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s, and [[? Block]]s. Although the story was not revealed, a large [[Wario]]-like figure that functioned similarly to a [[Thwomp]] was seen in the playable demo. In certain areas, an overhead view was displayed, much like in the game series [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']]. The first level ends at the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], and Mario can be seen entering a [[castle]].
