Control Mapping - How To Change Controls

Change It From The Options

InstructionsPress the + Button → System → Options

Jump Button Switching Is Possible

The only controller-related setting in the game that you can change is the jump button. The X jump button and the B cancel button are interchangeable.

Minor Changes Can Be Made On The Switch Itself

More detailed settings can also be made from Switch Settings → Controller and Sensors. However, note that this will affect other games.

The Default Setting Is Fine

It is recommended to play with the default settings without changing them. However, there are some options, such as the camera, that may differ based on your preferences, so change them is necessary.
