Although "Troubleshooting Unable To Join Multiplayer Worlds In Minecraft" works on most platforms, especially players of Nintendo Switch who has Super Mario Mash-up Pack could be baffled with the unlawful restriction (aka. "Platform restriction") and be confused as why, although the pop-up tells them, some players like those of unexperienced can be confused as why it was platform restricted after purchase when there were no sign of it if they did not experience the game (relates to some part of WEB-6914).
Proof of the issue: As of 1.20.81 on Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Mash-up Pack (including skins, resource pack and the world (template)) stifles cross-platform multiplayer and only allows Nintendo Switch Specific multiplayer, and when accessed the custom world with the resource pack from Super Mario Mash-up Pack on it, the world will be cross-platform multiplayer forcefully disabled until that world was accessed again with the resource pack removed. But in this site, there are no workaround of if multiplayer can't be used due to unlawful restriction. Not to mention, based of research, there are also other platform specific Marketplace ("Minecraft Store" on PlayStation) / DLC contents, including optional LittleBigPlanet Mash-up that's "platform specific" to PlayStation 4 only, from Minecraft Marketplace Catalog and some DLC contents from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition that were transferred to it's Bedrock counterpart (for which was affected, click here, then search for "Playable on Xbox Only, Not Purchasable, Not Usable in Multiplayer")
The easiest solution is to add the line "Make sure the Skin, Resource Packs and the World you're playing on does not have Platform Restriction, if either is Platform-restricted, try removing an affected resource pack on the world and / or switching skins / worlds to another that's not Platform-restricted", or just invalidate that and let me know if the license was updated and developers were making Super Mario Mash-up Pack be available to cross-platform multiplayer{}.

@unknown, No, but right now players are not properly informed that the Super Mario Mash-up Pack was platform specific and can only work on Nintendo Switch specific (not cross-platform) multiplayer before purchase, I currently could no longer find a trace to the answer of "could I play the Super Mario Mash-up Pack on cross-platform multiplayer" in Minecraft Help. Even searching for one there does not give me a result of "if I could play the Super Mario Mash-up Pack on cross-platform multiplayer". Searching for just "Super Mario Mash-up Pack" only gives me result of "Different Minecraft Editions", which is on another issue I've made.
For "Nintendo Switch specific multiplayer", I mean Switch-to-Switch multiplayer, Nintendo Switch as a host and only other Nintendo Switches can join that through Nintendo Switch Online or in LAN mode, and no PC, no mobile, and no competitor's consoles can join that multiplayer.
I only have Nintendo Switch to test for but the issue could also apply to other platform specific contents, including but not limited to optional LittleBigPlanet Mash-up on PlayStation 4 only from Minecraft Marketplace Catalog and some DLC contents from Minecraft: Xbox One Edition that were transferred to it's Bedrock counterpart (for which was affected, click here, then search for "Playable on Xbox Only, Not Purchasable, Not Usable in Multiplayer") but I missed the point because of hatred of unfair restriction of Super Mario Mash-up Pack put (by Nintendo) to prevent me from using that on cross-platform multiplayer with my friends but not the community-made ports of it and mostly targeting that in hope so it could be used on cross-platform multiplayer.
I've updated the description to reflect such and corrected the summary to avoid targeting specific parts of contents.
Thank you for your report!

Hi!
Im not sure if i understand it correctly; Switch users cannot access multiplayer on Super Mario pack between other Switches and it should be reflected on the article?
