There are certain points in the game where you’ll come across doors and you press up either on the Left Stick or up on the D-pad to open the door.

If at any point in the game you need to crouch or you want to go down into one of the pipes then you can either press down on the Left Stick or down on the D-pad to make Mario crouch down. You can also use this if there are secret areas that you are trying to access. So if there’s an enemy below you or in certain situations where you might be above one of the power-up boxes you can jump down onto it and you’ll make the power-up come out the bottom instead. If you press Jump and then hold down on either the D-pad or the Left Stick Mario will slam down onto the floor. If you press Jump and then press Jump again in the air you make Mario stay in the air for a little bit longer to give you a bit more time if you’re trying to reach something. There is also another type of jump so if you use either R or ZR you’ll do this type of jump here. These buttons will also activate certain power-ups which we’ll have a look at a little bit later on. So first of all hold down Y whilst moving and you’ll make Mario run faster and we can do the same with X. To make Mario sprint you can either use Y or X. For example you can use the D-pad to make Mario move or you can use the Left Stick. Most of the controls are mapped to multiple inputs. Now we’ll have a look at the controls for the game. You could also use an Xbox Adaptive Controller with a range of different joysticks and accessibility switches if that’s helpful for you. For example there are a range of adapters available that will get PlayStation or Xbox controllers working on your Switch. In this video I’m going to use a Nintendo Switch Pro controller but there are a range of other controls that you can use if using one of these is difficult. The general mechanics revolve around jumping over holes, jumping onto enemies or trying to avoid certain obstacles, either by jumping or using power-ups. It’s a 2D platforming game on the Nintendo Switch which can be quite tricky to play but does have a few features which might make it a little bit more accessible.Īs a 2D platformer the game does require quite specific timing.

In this video we’re going to have a look at new Super Mario Brothers’ U Deluxe.
