Yes, you read that correctly. A new battle royale game has been announced and it happens to be in the realm of the one and only Mario. Super Mario Bros. 35 was revealed during the surprise Nintendo Direct, but there appears to be a bit of a catch.

Nintendo brought some heavy hitters with them to the Direct that celebrates the 35th anniversary of Super Mario. One of the reveals is a Tetris 99-like battle royale title that will have 35 players duke it out until one remains. By duke it out, of course, I mean that the players will be completing courses as everyone’s favorite mustachioed video game character. Check out the announcement trailer for Super Mario Bros. 35 below:

Gameplay is rather simple: 35 mustachioed combatants enter the arena, complete courses and send enemies to other players, and one comes out on top. “A competitive clash comes to the Mushroom Kingdom! Super Mario Bros. 35 is a competitive 35-player online battle where the last Mario standing wins,” reads the official description.

So, what’s the catch? Well, Super Mario Bros. 35 is set to arrive on October 1st exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. However, the game will only be playable until March 31, 2021, because Nintendo apparently thinks that’s a good thing, or maybe they have something else planned that they aren’t talking about yet. Either way, the game will only be available for a limited time, so enjoy it while you can.
