Nintendo has shed light on the new features available in its Mario vs. Donkey remake for Switch.

The game was announced in September as an 'updated' version of the original Game Boy Advance title. At the time, Nintendo didn't say much else about the re-release, but did say multiplayer will be added.

The new trailer reveals multiplayer will come in the form of local co-op, and it looks like a second player will get to control Toad. Take a look at what's in store for Mario in the trailer below.

The remake game packs in a whomping 130 levels thanks to new worlds and obstacles. It will also include a new mode called Casual Style, which relaxes the difficulty.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong will release on 16th February, which potentially means it'll line up with the opening of the Donkey Kong expansion for Super Nintendo World.
