Network Play allows the player to cooperate with three other players online to complete courses in Multiplayer Co-op, or compete against them to clear the course first in Multiplayer Versus.

The player can also connect locally to other players who own the game, though the players' Versus Ratings are not affected in this mode. | Network Play allows the player to cooperate with three other players online to complete courses in Multiplayer Co-op, or compete against them to clear the course first in Multiplayer Versus.

Versus Rating correlates to a rank tier that can change | Versus Rating correlates to a rank tier that can change. As a higher rank is attained, it takes a higher ratio and amount of wins to gain points. In courses with a flagpole exit, players who reach the flag within a few seconds of the winner lose a lesser amount of points (this is not possible in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' or ''Super Mario World'' game styles). If no one can finish a course, no points are lost. Players who drop their connection while in a worldwide Multiplayer Versus Match will be penalized with a greater reduction of their Versus Rating than a standard loss or giving up. | ||
