Mario's Holiday

There is a hub world named the Sky Land Resort V.I.P. Area, two main courses named Frosty Fair and Bob-omb Cruiser, and a side course named Starry Grasslands. Bob-omb Cruiser will become the shipwreck in Bob-omb Islands, Frosty Fair will reappear as a side coruse in Super Mario: Star World, and SKELUX created the Sky Land Resort V.I.P. Area and Starry Grasslands exclusively for this game.

All four playable characters are accessible from the beginning of the game, and the player can choose between them all on the Mission Select Screen.

When the player collects a Power Star, they won't return to the Sky Land Resort V.I.P. Area. They can collect all the Power Stars in a course in one go.
