Unique to this game, Mario is able to throw Cappy onto certain enemies and objects, allowing Mario to [[Capture|take control of them]] and use their abilities. Mario can also dress in different costumes, several being based on the previous games. The game supports two-player co-op, allowing a second player to use a single Joy-Con or Pro Controller to control Cappy independently from Mario. The game also has online functionality, which allows players to compare their times/scores in certain events. In addition, [[amiibo]] can be used to unlock certain costumes early as well as obtain free hints toward the locations of [[Power Moon]]s and [[regional coin]]s.
