Sports With an Over-the-Top, Mario Twist
----------------------------------------
Mario Sports Mix is an arcade style sports game that pits your
favorite Nintendo characters against each other in four
action-packed sports genres. Sports include: basketball,
dodgeball, volleyball and hockey. Hockey fans will enjoy the
ability to play both on the ice, as well as on the field.
Characters that players can expect to see include: Mario, Luigi,
Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Wario,
Waluigi, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and others that
will be revealed in-game. Characters each possess general
abilities, but also have particular play styles, some being
faster, stronger, all-around stronger than others or more precise
than others. In addition to this, players are able to disturb the
play of nents using Nintendo themed means, for instance koopa
shells, banana peels and walking bombs. Each player also
possesses their own nearly unstoppable special ability, which can
be unleashed after they fill their individual power gauges. Also,
players will collect coins and gather multipliers, bonuses and
other special items as they play and also as they succeed against
nents.
Multiplayer Support
-------------------
Although Mario Sports Mix can be enjoyed as a single player
game, it is built from the ground up with multiplayer fun in
mind. All sports featured in the game include both a local
cooperative multiplayer option for up to four players, as well as
a four-player competitive multiplayer option in two-on-two
action. The game also features two-on-two online multiplayer
against friends, or random players.
Key Game Features
-----------------
* Your favorite Nintendo characters battle in four sporting
events: basketball, volleyball, hockey and dodgeball. The basic
rules of the games remain in play, but each also includes special
Nintendo flavored elements like coins and special items that ramp
up the craziness and fun.
* Along with standard play, gathering coins will build up bonus
points. So when players score a point or basket, they also get
the added bonus.
* Players can collect items like a koopa shell to use against
their nents, even using special items to beat up on the other
team while shooting or spiking.
* Every character has a signature move that's almost impossible
for nents to stop. A sampling of these include Mario's
fireball moves or Princess Peach's heart-filled attacks.
* Use a variety of tricks to keep nents guessing at your next
move.
* Multiplayer support in every sport includes cooperative play
with up to three friends or competitive action with up to four
players in two-on-two matches.
