Nintendo closed out their latest Direct presentation with the reveal of a brand new Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder!
Crazy to think we’ve gone almost six years since having a new, main, Super Mario game. Odyssey came out early in the Switch’s life cycle, and despite having a major motion picture released months ago, word on a new platforming Mario title has been non-existent…until today.
On top of getting news on the Super Mario RPG remake, fans of the portly plumber also got their first look at Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a new 2D side-scrolling adventure!
The next evolution of 2D side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. games is headed to Nintendo Switch! When you touch a Wonder Flower in the game, the wonders of the world unlock – pipes could come alive, hordes of enemies may appear, characters might change their looks, for example – transforming the gameplay in unpredictable ways. Excitement and different surprises await in each course. Super Mario Bros. Wonder features Princess Peach, Princess Daisy and Yoshi as playable characters, in addition to familiar characters like Mario, Luigi and Toad. Plus, Super Mario Bros. Wonder sees the debut of Mario’s newest power-up, which allows him to transform into Elephant Mario! What other wonders could this game contain?
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is releasing for Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2023.
