I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 (!) still going strong with Batocera Linux running NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) emulators.

I’m looking for easy multiplayer games that can be played with a 5yo. Non violent and ideally co-op, bonus points if somewhat educational.

I would say that most retro games can be enjoyed by a 5-year-old (having once upon a time been a 5-year-old playing some of them myself), but the first one that comes to mind is Donkey Kong Country.

Ooh. Good call!

For OP, I was confused by the multiplayer in Donkey Kong Country (SNES) the first time I played it.

If I recall correctly, the second controller doesn't do anything until the first player gets hit, then second controller takes over as the other Kong.

I think there's also a button the active player can press to switch out.
