A new Special Battle event has begun in Super Mario Bros. 35, the free-to-play battle royale-style Mario game for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. This one is called Frantic Fight Against Exceptional Enemies, and it has players contending with some of the game's trickiest foes.

As Nintendo describes, Special Battles are limited-time events. The basic rules are similar to the game's standard 35-player mode, wherein 35 players run through a series of classic Super Mario Bros. levels while vying to be the last one remaining, but with some special conditions on top of that. This Special Battle fills levels with enemies like Lakitu, Hammer Bros., and Bowser himself, which should make rounds even more hectic.

Super Mario Bros. 35 is free to download and play for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. If you're already a member and haven't downloaded it yet, you can head into the Switch eShop and find it listed under the "Nintendo Switch Online" option from the left side bar. If you're not already a subscriber, individual members cost $4 USD for one month, $8 USD for three months, and $20 USD for one year. You can learn more in our Nintendo Switch Online guide.
