Gameplay

A screenshot from Mario Sports Superstars

The main menu for Mario Sports Superstars.

In a similar manner to Mario Sports Mix, each sport plays out as their own separate mode. The Tennis and Golf sports will play similarly to the Mario Tennis and Mario Golf series, specifically each series's latest iteration, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and Mario Golf: World Tour respectively.

Each mode will have their own tournament mode, a three tier system that has eight participating players in total, catered to single players. Three cups will be available, with the first cup being the Mushroom Cup while the rest are unknown. Players can enjoy the game with multiple players, either with local play, playing with friends online, or playing against randoms online.

Alongside the main sports modes, additional tabs on the main menu screen include "amiibo Card", "Collection", a settings icon, and a manual icon. Aside from the manual, their functions are currently unknown at the moment.

A Training mode is confirmed for this game.^[1]

Soccer

Players participate in 11-vs-11 matches. Teams are composed of two player characters, a goalie (either Boom Boom or Pom Pom), and the rest are supporting generic characters such as Koopa Troopas or Shy Guys. Prior to beginning a match, players can adjust placement of their two player characters.

Baseball

Baseball involves two teams of nine characters against each other, similar to the Mario Baseball series. Star Skill-like abilities can be used, with Bowser using a fiery swing to knock the ball further away. Pitching has slightly different controls than the ones in the Mario Baseball series.

Tennis

Very similar to the Mario Tennis series, players can participate in either singles or doubles tennis. Chance Shots, Jump Shots and the Ultra Smash makes a return.

Golf

Very similar to the Mario Golf series, players can golf on one of the many courses.

Horse Racing
