The third entry in the series, it looks to follow a similar format as the past two games: teams of five players will take control of classic Mario characters in arcade-like football matches.

You’ll be able to equip gear to improve your players and use items mid-game for special effects.

It will support competitive multiplayer for up to eight players on a single Nintendo Switch, which can be played through individual matches or tournaments.
