Play over your local network or the internet, with rollback netcode. A room holds up to four consoles or PCs, with up to two players on each.
Everyone needs the same release. USA and European discs play together, Japanese only with Japanese, and a Switch only with other Switches.
- Windows, macOS, Linux: F5, Back, or Z on the main menu.
- Switch: Minus.
- Any controller: hold L+R+Z.
- Choose Create room, and allow the firewall prompt the first time.
- Share the address under Invite player.
- Pick the length, difficulty and items in Match settings.
- When everyone's in, choose Choose teams.
Add player lets a second controller on the same machine join.
Pick a room under Nearby rooms, type the host's address or Tailscale name under Join by address, or press Join on the host's Discord profile with the game open.
The game opens UDP port 41210 on the host's router through UPnP. If that fails, forward the port yourself or join over Tailscale or ZeroTier.
IP addresses are hidden. Hold R or F6 to show them.
