Gameplay

New Super Mario Bros

A screenshot, showing the New Super Mario Bros. beta elements in the game.

Most of the gameplay in Superstar Adventure is the same as New Super Mario Bros. and containing many elements from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, including four players at the same time, the Koopalings, Yoshis, enemies roaming the map, and many more. The hardness of the game is, harder than New Super Mario Bros. but easier than New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game has more enemies and levels than the first two. Unlike the previous game, the player can switch from sidescrolling to 3D, much like Super Paper Mario to grab items that are unavailable in sidescrolling, which is the many idea of the game. Another brand new thing to the game is the ability to create custom levels, which is called World 10. World 10 is unlocked by completely beating World 9 (getting all the Star Coins in every level). The player can select their own enemies, layouts, and even bosses for World 10 and there is no limit. Mini-games also reappear in the game, in the Mini-Game Center in Peach's Castle, run by Toadette. Another thing that returns from New Super Mario Bros., is the Big Star Battle, as well as Free-For-All and Coin Battle returning from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. On the World Map, Item Houses have different shopkeepers, unlike the first two games, that have Toadsworth and Toads running the shops. Beta elements from New Super Mario Bros. will appear in the game, including the ability to store three items on the bottom screen.
