It marks the franchise's first release under the publishing umbrella of Electronic Arts (EA) following the acquisition of Metalhead Software in 2021. The game retains the signature "oofy" art style and accessible gameplay of its predecessors while introducing significant upgrades in presentation, audio, and content, most notably the inclusion of real-world baseball legends.

SMB4 introduces full cross-platform multiplayer support across all consoles and PC. This is a major quality-of-life improvement, allowing friends on different ecosystems (e.g., PlayStation vs. Xbox) to play together seamlessly.
