Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Everything Known So Far

Looking forward to the upcoming release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on October 20? Let’s delve into all the information we have about this exciting new installment in the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an upcoming platformer developed and published by Nintendo exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. This marks the return of the classic side-scrolling style in the Super Mario series, harking back to the last one, New Super Mario Bros. U, released in 2012.

The Super Mario Bros. series caters to a broad audience, offering balanced level design and innovative features in its main stages. These elements provide enjoyable challenges suitable for a wide range of players. However, as you progress to late-game and special stages, Nintendo amps up the difficulty — presenting more intricate obstacles to challenge the skills of seasoned players.

Release Date And Platform

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is slated for launch on October 20, 2023, on Nintendo Switch exclusively.

Price And Editions

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is priced at $59.99.

You can place your preorders for the game on Nintendo’s official store.

Notably, if you choose to preorder from retailers like Walmart, you can receive extra goodies like trading cards, a poster, or a sticker set alongside your purchase.

Gameplay

If you’ve followed 2D Mario games for a while, the gameplay loop in Super Mario Bros. Wonder will strike a chord from the very first reveal trailer. Initially, it retains the familiar aesthetics and side-scrolling dynamics seen in previous Mario games. However, as Mario ventures through the new game world, things start to unfold in exciting ways.

While traditional side-scrolling platforming remains a core element, Super Mario Bros. Wonder spices things up with fresh additions, appealing to both newcomers and long-time fans. Alongside the classic power-ups like the mushroom, fire flower, and tanuki Mario, Wonder introduces a game-changing power-up: the Wonder Flower. This new power-up differs in appearance from the usual, radiating a cosmic glow instead of a solid color. It doesn’t seem to emerge from ‘?’ Blocks like other Mario items but materializes in emptier environments, as showcased in the reveal trailer.

The Wonder Flower, when activated, adds an extraordinary dimension to the game’s carefully crafted environments, offering unique experiences you wouldn’t encounter otherwise. These enhancements can range from animating inanimate objects like tubes to allowing Mario to morph into different forms like a sizable spikey ball to clear obstacles.

The full range of Wonder abilities, referred to as Wonder Events, is yet to be fully unveiled. Alongside the Wonder Flower, the reveal trailer introduces another intriguing item: the Wonder Seed. Though its exact purpose remains unclear, it’s possible that it could be a collectible item for future use, perhaps involved in growing a Wonder Flower from the seed and utilizing its abilities.

Game Modes

Super Mario Bros. Wonder supports local couch co-op, allowing a maximum of four players to join the game using separate Joycon sets on a single system. Players can progress through the entire game in co-op mode, and others can join or leave at any save point. While players won’t collide with each other, they are confined to the same screen area and can’t venture off independently.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder offers online multiplayer functionality. You can set up private lobbies accommodating up to 12 players. These players then form smaller groups of 4 to tackle levels together, offering assistance such as sharing items, reviving teammates, and providing encouragement.

Furthermore, there’s an engaging competitive mode called Friend Races for up to 4 players. In this mode, players compete to swiftly complete a level, defeat a boss, or be the first to discover the coveted Wonder Seed.

Story

The plot of Super Mario Bros. Wonder revolves around Mario and his companions venturing into a fresh realm, the Flower Kingdom, at the invitation of the kind-hearted Prince Florian. However, trouble ensues swiftly when Bowser stumbles upon the remarkable Wonder Flower, leading to chaos as he merges with the prince’s castle and wreaks havoc in true Bowser fashion. Our mission, of course, is to thwart Bowser’s plans.

While maintaining the classic 2D Mario essence in appearance and gameplay, this new addition to the series introduces some exciting twists. The adventure takes place in the Flower Kingdom and its accompanying islands, collectively known as the Petal Isles. These lands offer a mix of linear and open exploration, showcasing the diverse and vibrant landscapes Mario games are known for.

Besides Mario, Super Mario Bros. Wonder provides a roster of playable characters including Yoshi, Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy. Additionally, players can opt for Nabbit or Yoshi as their character. Nabbit and Yoshi have the unique advantage of being invulnerable to damage, although they won’t undergo transformations with power-ups. Yoshi boasts special abilities such as Flutter Jump, as well as the ability to consume and project objects.
