I did not see this posted and it looks like we have some new info.
Looks like you always have 2 characters at all times.
Character Swapping mid stage is in.
New Stage gimmicks for Mighty and Ray, look and layouts for stages are also changed.
New harder Special stages, did not see a Checkpoint stage.
Mention of harder bosses.
Looks like lives are gone.
Mighty has a Ground Slam with AOE, also makes hidden tvs fall. Has First hit spike immunity when in a ball.
Ray had Mario World cape like gliding.
