Co-Star Mode 
This game is normally played with one player, but if you have two Wii Remotes, you can play with two players. One player will control Mario while the other will collect Star Bits (P20), stop enemies in their tracks, and help out the other player. Player 2 can even make Mario jump by pointing at him. Player 2 needs only the Wii Remote.
