Oh, never change, Nintendo. Never change.

I remember seeing some footage of a pixel art mode where the characters where all SNES/Mega Drive sprites. Did you come across that?Yeah, that's the premise of the story mode. Mario and Sonic both get trapped in a portable game system, which is an 8-bit version of the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games, and they have to win gold medals to escape. Meanwhile, Luigi and Tails are left in the regular world and team up to try to help them from the outside however they can. So the chapters swap back and forth between playing the 8-bit games and the regular events.
If you are playing solo as I was then after stage 99 you have a cool final boss fight and get the bad ending. If you have two players you can find a secret exit in stage 99 and get about 20 more levels and then fight the boss and get the good ending. I have a save at stage 99 in case I get the opportunity to have someone help with that coop only part of the game.That seems like an odd way of locking the true ending, especially for the time period!
Are you playing this on XBox or Switch?Oops, sorry! Xbox (Series X)
Magic! There are a few different spells, but it can be used only once per stage. They're not particularly useful, but can help at certain spots.These games show an issue with the Genesis controller having only three main buttons, as whether or not Shinobi tosses a shuriken or slashes with his sword is based on distance to enemy, but it feels inconsistent and often still throws a shuriken at slash range. Having a separate sword button would have been ideal.So jump is one button and shuriken/sword is another. What is the third button used for?
Considering the port of Turok 2 for Switch did not include the multiplayer (unless it was patched in and I missed it)I guess you did miss it, because Turok 2 does have multiplayer on Switch now. I'm not sure when it was updated, but I played quite a few online matches when it was populated, which unfortunately was short-lived. But fun while it lasted!
