1. Upon entering a level, press the + button on the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con
2. Navigate the menu and choose the Play Co-Op option
3. Connect a secondary controller, and start playing.

How many players can play?

While the game does support multiplayer, this does not include online co-op play. This means that players can only enjoy the game with another person on the same Nintendo Switch console. Additionally, co-op mode only supports two players, Kirby and Waddle Dee.
