Super Mario Bros. Wonder[a] is an upcoming platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first traditional side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U (2012) and is scheduled to be released on October 20, 2023.
Gameplay
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a side-scrolling platform game. As one of six player characters—Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, and Yoshi—the player completes levels across the Flower Kingdom with assistance from its talking flower-like denizens.[1] Similar to prior Super Mario games, players guide their character to the end of a level while avoiding enemies (such as Goombas and Piranha Plants) and transporting through Warp Pipes. Each stage contains multiple collectible "Wonder Seeds".[2] The game supports local multiplayer for up to four players.[3] New power-ups include a fruit that transforms the player into an elephant[2][4] and the Wonder Flower, which triggers bizarre effects such as pipes coming to life, hordes of enemies spawning, and character appearances altering.[2][4]
Development and release
Super Mario Bros. Wonder was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 21, 2023. It is scheduled to be released on October 20, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch.[5] It is the first traditional 2D side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U (2012).[3] On August 21, 2023, it was announced that Charles Martinet, who had voiced Mario and other characters since the 1990s, would not be voicing any characters starting with Wonder.[6][7]
