About this game
Mario travels through world maps toward the castles, clearing action stages to open routes. Toad houses supply items that can be used before entering a course. Inside each stage, the immediate goal is to reach its exit and collect a card. Power-ups change how obstacles are approached: Raccoon Mario builds running speed to take flight, while Frog Mario moves freely through water. Choosing a path and a useful transformation connects the map journey to the platforming itself.
Collected in series
