Nah dude, you ever play this game? There is a mode where the first player moves the actual character, then the second player controls a cursor (I guess the second player is supposed to be a robot, not that it matters, because all you see is the cursor while playing)that can help you shoot enemies.

Billie, you don’t actually play with two people at the same time. One person controls Mario and the other affects the environment around Mario with their cursor.

Dude this isn’t the first time that this has been done. Not to knock Miyamoto, but dude this 2-player option was first done on Jet Force Gemini on the N64!!!! I remember some bosses were so hard, that you actually needed two players to beat them.

Quote from wikipedia:

“The game is unique in that it employs the rare cooperative style of gameplay, where two can play the story mode at once. ”
