Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an upcoming side-scrolling platform game in the Super Mario series for the Nintendo Switch. It was first announced during the June 21, 2023 Nintendo Direct, and is planned to be released worldwide on October 20, 2023.[3] It is the first new full-fledged 2D Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U released almost 11 years prior and also the first game in the franchise to feature the succeeding voice actor(s) for Charles Martinet.[4]

A dedicated Nintendo Direct for the game titled the "Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct" broadcasted on August 31, 2023 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET.[5]

Overview

Flower Kingdom from the August 31, 2023 Nintendo Direct
The main playable characters in the Flower Kingdom

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a 2.5D-style platformer that supports both single-player and simultaneous multiplayer modes. Its art direction is reminiscent of the New Super Mario Bros. series of games, incorporating changes such as updated character designs and new sets of animations.[3]

Alongside Mario and Luigi, several other characters are also playable, including Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Toadette, Yoshis of four different colors, and Nabbit.[6] Their moveset features standard abilities, for instance the Wall Jump and the Ground Pound. The Yoshis retain their Flutter Jump, ability to use their tongue, and can also be used as a mount, and they and Nabbit do not take any damage from enemies. The players can receive new abilities by consuming power-ups, both returning and brand new ones, such as an elephant-themed fruit.[3]

The signature feature of the game is the Wonder Flower, a power-up that changes the world around Mario and friends in unique and strange ways, examples including bringing Warp Pipes to life and causing themselves and elements of the stage to stretch upward. Also revolving around the "Wonder" theme are the Wonder Seeds and purple coins, prominent collectibles. Another notable addition are Talking Flowers, non-playable characters that populate the levels and comment on the events and gimmicks nearby.[3]

The game takes place in a location distinct from its predecessors, and foregoes some of their established elements while featuring new level themes, such as autumnal forests and savannahs. The hub consists of a contiguous world map, similar to that of New Super Mario Bros. U, where each level is represented by a 3D modeled icon, as in Super Mario 3D World. Also similar to both games, levels have unique names. Each one is also assigned a difficulty rating in-game, a feature only found previously in Super Mario Maker 2's Story Mode.[3]

Worlds

The game is set in the Flower Kingdom, and has seven different worlds.

All 12 playable characters in the game

Counting the colored Toads and Yoshis separately, Super Mario Bros. Wonder features a total of 12 playable characters, the most playable characters in a mainline Super Mario game. Among them, Daisy and the Yoshis are playable for the first time in a home console Super Mario game after being previously playable in Super Mario Run. Much like Nabbit in New Super Luigi U, the Yoshis and Nabbit are invincible to enemy attacks, but also cannot obtain power-ups. Additionally, the Yoshis retain their abilities to Flutter Jump, use their tongues, and allow other characters to ride them.
