Most Switch Mario titles offer both local and online multiplayer. Common setups include local co-op and local multiplayer often up to four players, though some games and modes support larger matches (up to eight) via local wireless or online. Local co-op sometimes lets a second player use a single-handed controller passed to them; extra players generally require additional controllers. Exact options depend on the specific title and mode.
