Can you disable the on-screen control guide?

I’ve been playing on the normal mode (not the assist mode) and I’m getting a little sick of the controls being shown on screen so much.

I thought it was just going to be for the first short world, but it’s still around in the desert. I understand the helpfulness for when you’re controlling a captured character, but I get them when I’m just running around and it’s telling me how to jump and do the basic throw.

Is there a way to disable this “feature”?


I have been googling this for a week. There is no fix. As a matter of fact this is the first topic I have came across regarding this issue, so I am wondering if not everyone is affected. I do see the problem in a few reviewers that have the issue in their capture footage but never mention the annoyance that it is. The issue pops up when you are far from any hint sign or away from any enemies to capture, so it is unavoidable.

It is even worse in 2p mode as it keeps telling you howto move, jump and look around. As if I got 200 moons in my play through without ever figuring that out. It is annoying for me too and I hope a patch fixes this obvious glitch.

EDIT : I fount a tiny topic on the Nintendo support forum. It looks like you can forward your input to Nintendo support directly. Which I am doing so right now. (If I can find where to submit a question about games&apps to Nintendo.)

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an option to disable any control tips on-screen while playing. However, there are two types of tips, and one of them can be avoided outright.

For the first few seconds after you capture an enemy or if you stand still, the game will give you instructions because every enemy capture behaves a little differently. This is unavoidable.

The other type of hint comes with a gameplay demo video in the bottom-right corner of your screen. These only pop up after you read a sign detailing the displayed move. These signs always look the same, and signs of that nature never have any non-control related information (at least in my experience), so I would simply avoid them if you don't want to see the instructions.
