For something like Mario, which only requires basic press, hold, and release, the simplest solution is virtual keys (which support multi-touch). Then you can just use normal keyboard inputs.

Alternatively, you could get or create your own multitouch system and uses instances and the gui layer. This would let you do more, such as a virtual joystick, but you don't really seem to need it. And it is more work.
