Super Mario Wonder never really explains what the Motion Controls are, although they are an option in the game's settings. Here is how to use them.
What are Motion Controls in Super Mario Wonder?
Motion Controls are an alternate way of controlling the character in Super Mario Wonder. They mostly affect how characters like Mario use their Spin Jump. To perform a Spin Jump, players can simply shake their control. The same goes for a midair Spin Jump, which gives the character some extra momentum while airborne.
Both of these actions can also be performed with buttons on the controller. You can press R or ZR to perform a Spin Jump whether on the ground or in the air. Since these actions can simply be done with the controller, some prefer to have the Motion Controls toggled off.
To do this, simply head to Settings and turn the controls off. Here is how this is done:
- Press the + button to open the menu
- Click on Settings, which is found at the bottom of the screen
- Head down to the Motion Controls tab
- Flick the joystick either left or right to toggle the Motion Controls on or off.
It also appears that these controls only apply to those playing with the joycons. If you're playing with the Switch undocked, or on the Switch Lite, the Motion Controls don't apply.
