Super Mario Odyssey will have local co-op

Super Mario Odyssey, the first proper Mario game for the Nintendo Switch, will feature a local co-op gameplay mode albeit one that is slightly unusual.

Instead of taking control of Luigi or another well-known Mario character, player 2 will instead play as Cappy, Mario’s famous red cap.

Cappy can be used to make certain puzzles easier to complete as well as providing player 1 with assistance in other areas.
