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 savannas. 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]

Plot

The game's plot focuses on Mario and company being invited to the Flower Kingdom, ruled by Prince Florian, when Bowser suddenly appears, along with Kamek and Bowser Jr. Bowser then takes hold of the Wonder Flower, merging himself, his Koopa Clown Car, and Prince Florian's castle to become a flying fortress, wreaking havoc across the land and trapping the Poplins in their homes. Mario and the gang (including Prince Florian, the Yoshis, and Nabbit) must then set off on a journey to defeat Bowser and save the Flower Kingdom.[3]

Characters

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.

This sneaky little fellow can turn any extra power-ups he finds into flower coins. Ka-ching!

Locations

A map of the Flower Kingdom

The game is set in the Flower Kingdom, and has six different worlds, as well as a central area to which all of them connect, Petal Isles. Each level houses at least two Wonder Seeds, one of which is obtained by finding the level's Wonder Flower and reaching the end of the Wonder Effect section, and the other obtained by reaching the end of the level and grabbing the Goal Pole. Some levels also have a hidden third Wonder Seed which is obtained by finding a secret exit.[12] Additionally, every level also hides three 10-flower coins, which behave similarly to the Star Coins from the New Super Mario Bros. series, the Star Medals from Super Mario 3D Land, and the Green Stars from Super Mario 3D World.[6]

In addition to the main levels, there are also smaller, bonus levels, all of which have one Wonder Seed, obtained by completing the level:

  • Break Time! levels are short levels with a specific objective in order to obtain the Wonder Seed.[6]
  • Badge Challenge levels involve using the abilities of a particular badge in order to reach the goal. The player is also rewarded with the badge upon completing the level. Despite their short length, they still hold three 10-flower coins in them.[6]
  • Wiggler Race levels involve racing a Wiggler wearing roller skates to the goal.[6]
