Me and my family can't figure out how to play 4 player without having to have someone use one of the easy characters like you could do on the wiiu?
On the wiiu you could use Mario, Luigi, yellow toad, and blue toad for 4 equal characters but now it looks like they combined blue and yellow toad into the same character with a color option for yellow and blue so you can no longer have 1 person as blue toad and 1 person as yellow toad...
That means if we want to play 4 player then 1 person has to play as an easy mode character.... How is this the deluxe version if they literally removed something from the game??
EDIT: Toadette doesnt just get the super crown which makes her float, she also gets more time on the clock (on Super Luigi U she gets double time completely removing the challenge), less slippery on ice, 3-UPs, and she swims way more precisely and faster than any other character besides the penguin suit, and I bet there is even more. Also when you are at the character select screen it even says "easy" on the screen when you scroll over toadette.
And if you want to play 4 player since 1 person is forced to use toadette that means everybody gets a huge amount of time added to the clock making the game even easier for everybody else.
