Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX

Gamepad and Keyboard

Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX supports both gamepad and keyboard arrangements. The game is designed so that upon starting up the first time, it will detect if you have a gamepad plugged in or not. If you have a gamepad plugged in, you should see this in the bottom left corner of the disclaimer screen:

This means the game has successfully detected your gamepad and has automatically switched to gamepad mode. It is strongly recommended you play Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX with a gamepad. It is, after all, a side-scrolling platform game - and to experience it to it's fullest degree, you should play it like a side-scrolling platform game: with a gamepad firmly in your hands. If for some reason the game detects a gamepad and you do not have one plugged in (or, alternatively, fails to detect your gamepad), simply press CTRL + Y to bring up the control select screen. Move the X under Player 1 between Keyboard and Gamepad controls. If changing to keyboard controls, you can customize what keyboard keys correspond to what actions.

Control in Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX centers around two buttons: Fire 1 and Fire 2, illustrated here:

However, do take note - different gamepads vary wildly between the example image. What buttons are Fire 1 and Fire 2 (AKA: Button 1 and Button 2) in this image might be completely different on your gamepad; but either way, the game uses just those two buttons and the Control Pad (AKA: D-Pad, or Digital Pad). Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX does not support analog movement.
