Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a side-scrolling platform game released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2023. First announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, it is the twenty-seventh installment in the Super Mario series and the first new full-fledged 2D Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U released almost 11 years prior. It is also the first game to feature Kevin Afghani as the voice of Mario and Luigi, succeeding Charles Martinet, as well as the first game in the Super Mario franchise as a whole to be released since the initial release of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope exactly one year prior.

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.

Story

The main playable characters, Poplins, and Prince Florian in the Flower Kingdom in the opening cutscene.

Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and Toadette are invited to the Flower Kingdom, a neighbor to the Mushroom Kingdom ruled by Prince Florian. Florian shows off the Wonder Flower to his visitors, when suddenly, Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek arrive. Bowser takes hold of the Wonder Flower, merging him, his Koopa Clown Car, and Florian's castle, the Flower Castle, to become Castle Bowser; he proceeds to spread havoc across the entire kingdom, including trapping the kingdom's inhabitants, the Poplins, in their homes. Not wanting to let this stand, Mario and company eagerly decide to help save the Flower Kingdom, and set off with Florian, who opts to be the gang's guide, to stop Bowser's plans once again. The group is closely followed by four Yoshis and Nabbit.

Mario and his allies journey through Pipe-Rock Plateau, Fluff-Puff Peaks, Shining Falls, Sunbaked Desert, Fungi Mines, and Deep Magma Bog, collecting the Royal Seed from each in order to remove the Cloud Piranhas protecting Castle Bowser, defeating an enhanced Bowser Jr. in four corrupted palaces and disabling three flying battleships summoned by Kamek in the process, before confronting Bowser within the castle from Petal Isles. After getting through some more of his defenses, Mario and his allies eventually defeat Castle Bowser, preventing him from using Wonder powers to terrorize the universe, and saving the Flower Kingdom, leaving the heroes, along with Florian and the Poplins, to celebrate.

Meanwhile, a post-credits scene shows Kamek attempting to carry Bowser Jr. and Bowser, who has reverted to his normal form, in the Koopa Clown Car; however, the weight is too heavy for Kamek and he sinks, causing them to crash into some hills near the Flower Castle.

Gameplay

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a 2.5D-style platformer that supports both single-player gameplay and simultaneous multiplayer with up to 4 players. The game uses an updated artstyle, iterating on the New Super Mario Bros. series of games with brand-new models, expressions and animations. 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. All characters use the established base moveset from the New Super Mario Bros. series, including the ability to Wall Jump, Ground Pound, and Spin Jump. Nabbit retains his ability to not take damage from enemies from previous games, simply phasing through enemies instead. The Yoshis also do not take damage, but bump into enemies upon colliding with them. The Yoshis retain their ability to Flutter Jump, be used as a mount for other characters, and use their tongue to swallow enemies and items. They can receive new abilities by consuming returning power-ups, as well as new ones like the Elephant Fruit. A new feature sees the characters equipping badges which allow them to obtain an additional special ability depending on which one is equipped, such as the Parachute Cap or the Scuttle.

The game's story takes place in the Flower Kingdom, a brand-new location. The game's levels incorporate similar general themes to the New Super Mario Bros. series, such as grassland, desert, and beach stages, but also unique level themes like 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. Similarly to both games, levels in this game have unique names. Each one is also assigned a difficulty rating in-game, from one to five. This is a feature only found previously in the Level Cards compatible with Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as Super Mario Maker 2's Story Mode.

The signature feature of Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the Wonder Flower, a power-up that changes the world around Mario and friends in unique and strange ways, such as bringing Warp Pipes to life or causing Trottin' Piranha Plants to start singing. Wonder Flowers are exclusive to the Flower Kingdom, alongside Wonder Seeds and flower coins, prominent collectibles of the region. Another notable addition are Talking Flowers, non-playable characters that populate levels and comment on in-game events and players' actions.

This is the first 2D side-scrolling Super Mario game since Super Mario Bros. 2 to omit a score system and Time Limit, allowing players to explore levels for as long as they wish. When a character bounces off enemies or other objects repeatedly, ratings appear in the order "Good", "Great", "Super", "Fantastic", "Excellent", "Incredible", and "Wonderful"; from then on, any further action that continues the chain awards the player a 1-Up.

Just like in Super Mario 3D World, the number of lives is shared between players when playing multiplayer.

Locations

A map of the Flower Kingdom

The game is set in the Flower Kingdom, and has eight different worlds, consisting of six main, numbered worlds, a central world to which all of them connect called the Petal Isles, and the Special World. Each world contains a mix of both regular levels and smaller, bonus levels, of different types:

• Break Time! levels are short levels with a specific objective in order to obtain the Wonder Seed.
• Badge Challenge and Expert 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. Players temporarily start the level in their Small form, and failing the challenge will not cause any lives to be lost. Despite their short length, they still hold three 10-flower coins in them, but unlike regular levels, the 10-flower coins are not saved if the player fails the challenge.
• Wiggler Race levels involve racing a Wiggler wearing roller skates to the goal.
• KO Arena levels involve defeating gauntlet of enemies in succession, similar to some of the Mystery House levels in Super Mario 3D World. These levels also have three 10-flower coins which are awarded based on how fast the player completes the gauntlet.
• Search Party levels involve finding five hidden Wonder Tokens to obtain a Wonder Seed.

There is also a special bonus level known as Bonus: Coins Galore!, which contains many coins and flower coins for the player to collect. It appears when the player(s) receive(s) a Game Over, which causes a golden Propeller Flower to appear on the world map.

Each regular level contains 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. Bonus levels and palaces only have one Wonder Seed, the former of which is obtained by completing the level, and the latter of which stems from the Wonder Flower, while the end of palaces instead awards the player with a Royal Seed. Additionally, every regular level, Badge Challenge, and KO Arena level 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.

Each location of the Flower Kingdom has a corresponding color for its Wonder Flowers, Wonder Seeds, and Wow Buds.

Characters

Playable characters

All 12 playable characters in the game

Counting the colored Toads and Yoshis separately, Super Mario Bros. Wonder features 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. Most characters have the same attributes and play identically aside from revealing different Hidden Character Blocks. The Yoshis and Nabbit do not take damage from most obstacles and enemies, but cannot transform using power-ups. Additionally, Nabbit does not flinch from attacks, while the Yoshis retain their ability to Flutter Jump, use their tongues, and allow other characters to ride them. The random option on the selection screen cannot select the Yoshis or Nabbit.

The following descriptions of the playable characters are taken from the loading screens.

Mario	Luigi	Peach	Daisy	Yellow Toad	Blue Toad
Mario works as a plumber with his little brother Luigi.	While they may be twin brothers, Luigi is taller and slightly younger than Mario.	Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and she always wishes the best for everyone.	Daisy is the princess of Sarasaland. She's always chipper, cheerful, and lively!	Toads are residents of the Mushroom Kingdom, and those are their heads—not big hats!
Toadette	Yoshi	Red Yoshi	Yellow Yoshi	Light-Blue Yoshi	Nabbit
Toadette is a resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. Check out her trademark pink pigtails!	Yoshis have extremely relaxed attitudes. They even let Mario and his friends ride on their backs. Ability: Yoshis can Flutter Jump, eat objects, and spit them back to attack enemies. They will take knockback from enemies and hazards.				Nabbit isn't an enemy or an ally, really—just someone keeping an eye on Mario and his friends… Ability: Nabbit won't flinch when touching most enemies or hazards.

Enemies and obstacles

Enemies

The enemies listed in this table match those on the Mario Portal Game Archive. The default order they are listed derives from their occurrence in-game with adjustments to ensure enemies are listed next to their immediate relatives. King Boo, Kamek, Big Fire Piranha Plant, Cloud Piranha, Wonder Packun, Note Piranha Plant, Big Note Piranha Plant, and Lakitu trio are not present on the archive, but are listed below. The first four are recognized in other primary sources, and the final four exhibit unique behaviors that differentiate them from normal Piranha Plants and Lakitus, respectively.

Name	Description	Courses		New
		First	Last
Goomba	Squat mushroom creatures that walk along the ground and are weak to all attacks. Direct contact damages Mario unless he stomps them on the head. Touching sleeping Goombas does not harm him, but it does wake them. In some courses, Goombas lack the space to move and instead sit on the ground, disgruntled. During the Wonder Effect in Sproings in the Twilight Forest, their bodies greatly extend. In some other Wonder Effects, Mario is transformed into one. Goombas are the most common enemies in the game.	Welcome to the Flower Kingdom!	The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet	—
Hefty Goomba	Larger Goombas. Stomping Hefty Goombas split them into two normal-sized ones. In some courses, they drift down on dandelion seeds.	The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory	The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage	—
Big Goomba	The largest Goombas. Stomping them splits them into two Hefty Goombas.	The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory	The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage	—
Bone Goomba	Boneheaded Goombas that are impervious to fireballs. Unlike other skeletal enemies, Bone Goombas are not undead. They are revealed to be living blue Goombas when stomped, which knocks away the skull covering their head.	Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace	Sunbaked Desert Palace	—
Goombrat	Goomba-like persimmon enemies. Unlike Goombas, Goombrats turn around when they reach the edge of platforms. In some courses, they float down on dandelion seeds. Collisions with Bloomps bounce them away and, if equipped, destroy their seeds.	Here Come the Hoppos	Taily's Toxic Pond	—
Hefty Goombrat	Big Goombrats. Like Hefty Goombas, stomping them causes them to split into two normal-sized Goombrats. They similarly float on dandelion seeds.	Bloomps of the Desert Skies		—
Brown Trompette	Mushroom enemies of varying heights. Struck Trompettes fall back and knock out any enemies behind them or collect coins for Mario. The brown ones walk off the edge of platforms like Goombas.	Bulrush Coming Through!	Fungi Mines Special Dangerous Donut Ride
Purple Trompette	The Purple Trompettes turn around when they reach the edge of platforms.	Bulrush Coming Through!	POOF! Badge Challenge Crouching High Jump I
Piranha Plant	Carnivorous plants that sit in pipes. They pop out of them with snapping jaws in consistent intervals, tilting their heads towards Mario. Piranha Plants do not emerge if he stands next to or on top of their pipes. Some Piranha Plants occur outside of pipes, and some are even rooted to the ceiling, where they perpetually snap.	Piranha Plants on Parade	The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon	—
Big Piranha Plant	The giant Piranha Plants occur inside giant pipes, in which they behave like the normal-sized ones. In some areas, they are rooted to the ground and snap from side to side. Big Piranha Plants take three hits from fireballs to defeat.	Piranha Plants on Parade	The Semifinal Test Piranha Plant Reprise	—
Trottin' Piranha Plant	Walking Piranha Plants that exit their pipes to pursue Mario. Some even enter other pipes or walk along ceilings. Trottin' Piranha Plants sing and dance in unison during certain Wonder Effects.	Piranha Plants on Parade	The Semifinal Test Piranha Plant Reprise
Big Trottin' Piranha Plant	Big Trottin' Piranha Plants take three strikes from fireballs to be defeated, like stationary Big Piranha Plants. They otherwise behave like normal-sized Trottin' Piranha Plants, but emerge from and retreat into giant pipes.	Piranha Plants on Parade	The Semifinal Test Piranha Plant Reprise
Melon Piranha Plant	Piranha Plants that look like watermelons. They spit seeds that damage Mario, but they can be jumped on without taking damage. This allows Mario to cross large gaps or ascend tall platforms. Yoshis can eat and spit the seeds back at them and other enemies. Melon Piranha Plants are otherwise defeated when stomped.	Countdown to Drop Down	The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon
Fire Piranha Plant	Piranha Plants that spit fireballs. They emerge from pipes and aim their heads towards Mario's position before firing. Some Fire Piranha Plants spit multiple fireballs at once.	Upshroom Downshroom	The Semifinal Test Piranha Plant Reprise	—
Big Fire Piranha Plant	The giant Fire Piranha Plants are rooted to the earth and require three strikes from fireballs to defeat. They spit multiple fireballs at once.	Upshroom Downshroom		—
Bone Piranha Plant	Skeletal Piranhas. They behave like the living plants, but they are immune to fire. Bone Piranha Plants are heightened during the Wonder Effect in Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace.	Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace		—
Trottin' Bone Piranha Plant	Skeletal Trottin' Piranha Plants. Like the stationary ones, they are resistant to fireballs and heighten during their course's Wonder Effect.	Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace
Wonder Packun	Piranha Plants with thorned stalks that appeared after Bowser collects a Wonder Flower at the start of the game. They guard locked courses and can be eliminated by collecting enough Wonder Seeds, reverting them to normal Piranha Plants.	Badge House in Pipe-Rock Plateau	The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet
Cloud Piranha	Black, cloudy Piranha Plants that protect Castle Bowser and continuously swirl around him. One disappears once a Royal Seed is collected, and collecting all of the ones in the game makes Castle Bowser accessible.	Petal Isles
Note Piranha Plant [conjectural]	Blazing Piranha Plants spit by Wonder Bowser. Their movement is in synch with the music of the battle and encourages rhythmic dodges from Mario. Note Piranha Plants are only defeated by strikes from Elephant Mario or tossed bubbles. They can also appear in conjoined pairs.	The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage
Big Note Piranha Plant [conjectural]	Big Note Piranha Plants are too large to be avoided through normal jumps and are invincible. During later phases of the battle, Big Note Piranha Plants fall the sky and break into the normal-sized ones when they collide with the floor. Unlike the regular-sized ones, they can only appear in single units.	The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage
Muncher	Little Piranhas often found in large groups. Munchers are nearly invincible and make safe traversal unsafe for Mario. Yoshis are the only characters that can safely walk along them without touching a Super Star. Munchers are only defeated if struck by Red POW Blocks.	Muncher Fields	The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon	—
Nipper Plant	Young Piranha Plants that walk along floors, walls, and ceilings. Though physically similar to Munchers, Nipper Plants are weak to all means of attack.	Muncher Fields	KO Arena Petal Meddle	—
Red Koopa Troopa	Common turtle enemies that walk along the ground. When Koopa Troopas walk into each other, they knock their shells together before turning around as a way of saying "hello" to each other.

Fire Wheel	Spinning wheels of fire that travel along tracks. Their tracks are physically shifted by pulling nearby handles, but slowly move back to their original position.	Pull, Turn, Burn
Fireball	Balls of flame that slowly travel through the air, often in groups of three or five. Fireballs sometimes materialize from streaks of Wonder power from corrupted palaces. They can be extinguished with bubbles and water.	Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace	Deep Magma Bog Palace
Flying battleship (Wonder Effect)	During the Wonder Effects on flying battleships, the figurehead of their bows disconnects and fires artillery from the background of the course. The blasts are strong enough to destroy terrain, Iron Blocks, and otherwise indestructible enemies. The figureheads vanish when a nearby Wonder Seed is collected.	Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship	Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship

Handle-controlled burner [conjectural]	Large burners whose flames recede when a corresponding handle is pulled. The flame returns after a few seconds when the handle is let go.	Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship
Honey	During the battle with Wonder Bowser Jr., he transforms the terrain into a sticky substance that reduces Mario's jump height and speed. Wonder Bowser Jr. himself swims through the honey.	Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace
Hot-Hot Rock	Craggy blocks that heat up in set intervals, generating damaging magma. Dowsing Hot-Hot Rocks with water cools them down early. They can be safely stood on and wall-jumped between while cool. Like Atchi Muite Blocks, they come in large and small sizes.	Hot-Hot Hot!	The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon
Ice	Frozen surfaces that reduce Mario's traction. Ice makes it difficult to make precise jumps and avoid oncoming hazards. Outmaways are surefooted on ice.	Outmaway Valley	Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace
Lava	Direct contact with lava causes Mario to lose a life. Some areas, particularly Deep Magma Bog, are completely covered in lava. During some Wonder Effects it appears as enclosed circles in the air that must be avoided. In Expert Badge Challenge Jet Run II, the lava rises like the tide.	Where the Rrrumbas Rule	Deep Magma Bog Special Solar Roller

Rift	A mysterious, vacuous material that distorts space in some courses. Rifts open up and reseal perceivable space as they shift through environments, but platforms and enemies that are overlaid by Rifts can still be interacted with. Direct contact damages Mario.	Beware of the Rifts	The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet
Sand	The sands of the Sunbaked Desert reduce the height of Mario's jumps, making it difficult for him to avoid oncoming Armads and other desert enemies.	Armads on the Roll	Sunbaked Desert Palace
Slime [conjectural]	The swaying ruins become coated with a slimy substance during the course's Wonder Effect. Mario slides along the top with no means of stopping until he collects a Wonder Seed.	Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins

Bosses

Name	Description	Courses
		First	Last
Bowser Jr. / Wonder Bowser Jr.	Bowser's son. He is the boss fought at the end of the palace courses. Initially, Bowser Jr. appears as he normally does and attacks Mario by spitting fireballs and spinning along the ground in his shell. However, once struck, Castle Bowser uses his Wonder power to transform his son into Wonder Bowser Jr. In this form, Bowser Jr. utilizes various Wonder Effects to battle Mario that vary from course to course. In the first battle, Wonder Bowser Jr. and Mario grow and shrink in size, whereas in the second the terrain is turned cycles between slippery ice and sticky honey. During the third encounter, water appears to float through the air like a lava lamp. In the final encounter with Wonder Bowser Jr., he creates copies of himself and hops around in the dark.	Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace	Deep Magma Bog Palace
Wonder Bowser	The apex of Castle Bowser and the form of Bowser that is directly fought. Wonder Bowser appears as the spire of the Flower Castle with disembodied cloud hands. The arena he is fought in has rhythmic segments of the floor that launch Mario high into the air if he jumps in time with the beat of the course, allowing him to avoid oncoming hazards and strike the Koopa King. His weak point is the large ! Switch beneath his chin. Wonder Bowser spits Note Piranha Plants and drops disco ball-like Spike-Balls from his palms. Wonder Bowser takes six hits to fully defeat, and his means of attack become more complex with each strike. The fifth hit causes his stone armor to fall away, exposing a Bowser Switch on his head that finally takes him out. Beating him returns the Flower Castle to normal and frees the Flower Kingdom of his influence.	The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage

Items and objects

Items

These are collectibles, pickups, and health-restoring objects.

Name	Description
Wonder Seeds	Large seeds found throughout the Flower Kingdom. Wonder Seeds occur in Wonder Effects and are gifted by saved Poplins at the end of every course. Accumulating them unlocks new courses. Wonder Seeds have different colors depending on the world, just like Wonder Flowers and Wow Buds.
Royal Seeds	Giant Wonder Seeds found at the end of every world, typically in the hands of Bowser Jr. Collecting a Royal Seed defeats one of the Cloud Piranhas that encircles Castle Bowser and unlocks access to a new world in the Flower Kingdom.
Wonder Tokens	Wonder Tokens represent one-fifth of a Wonder Seed. Collecting all five within a course causes them to merge into a collectible Wonder Seed. There are Break Time! courses dedicated to finding Wonder Tokens that are hidden within the environment.
Coins	Coins occur floating in the air and within strikable blocks. Some materialize after touching Wow Buds. Collecting one hundred coins awards Mario with an extra life.
Hidden Coins	Outlines that become solid coins when Mario or a shell passes through them. Some Hidden Coins grow out of the ground like flowers.
Blue Coins	Strings of Blue Coins occur for a limited period of time when a nearby P Switch is struck. Collecting all of them causes Talking Flowers to appear around the screen, congratulating the player. Blue Coins are worth the same as normal gold coins.
Flower coins	The regional currency used at Poplin Shops. Flower coins appear in courses in a similar capacity to the gold coins. Mario can carry up to 999 flower coins. Some Poplins require flower coins in order to complete certain tasks on the overworld map, unlocking access to new areas.
Small flower coins [derived]	Tiny coins that only appear during Wonder Effects. Each one represents 0.1-flower coins. During the Wonder Effect of Condarts Away!, small flower coins sprout eyes and flutter like butterflies.
10-flower coins	Larg flower coins that equal ten normal flower coins. There are three in nearly every course. If already collected, 10-flower coins appear translucent and instead equal three flower coins. Collecting every 10-flower coin in the game adds a medal to player's save file.
1-Up Mushrooms	Green mushrooms that give Mario an extra life when obtained. 1-Up Mushrooms are often hidden within courses, but can also be bought at Poplin Shops.
Keys	Keys unlock Key Doors of the same color. They occur only in Color-Switch Dungeon.
Shells	Stomping on some enemies makes their shells available for use as a projectile that slides along the ground when tossed. Tossed shells defeat enemies, break blocks, and collect coins for Mario as they slide, but they can bounce off of opposing walls and damage Mario on the return. Hopping on them or hitting them with a projectile can make them stop. The most common shells are Koopa Shells from Koopa Troopas. The Koopas reemerge from their shells and damage Mario if their shells are held for too long. There are also Swirlypod Shells[derived] from stomped Swirlypods. Unlike Koopa Troopas, Swirlypods are physically dislodged from their shells when stomped, so Mario can hold onto their shells without receiving damage. Buzzy Shells function identically to Koopa Shells but are resistant to fire, so Fire Mario cannot stop them with fireballs. Holding onto Snortoise shells underwater increases Mario's speed while swimming. Curled Armads also function like Koopa Shells.
Big shells	The shells of Hefty Swirlypods. Mario cannot carry these unless he is in his Elephant form. Their larger size allows them to destroy Brick Blocks without bouncing off of them, and they are the only shells strong enough to break through hard blocks.
Red POW Blocks	These POW Blocks can be picked up. When tossed or struck, they break other blocks and defeat enemies within their immediate vicinity. If one is tossed at another Red POW Block, it triggers a chain reaction that can clear a lot of obstructing parts of the environment. Red POW Blocks can only be triggered once.
Jars	Jars can be carried and tossed to defeat enemies and break blocks. Some jars contain water, and tossing them is a way to hydrate wilted flowers.
Water	Elephant Mario can carry water in his trunk and use it to make wilted flowers bloom, coins materialize, and trigger changes in the environment. It is found throughout the game, including inside of jars and sprayed by certain pipes. Large bodies of water occur in a few courses and can be swam through.
Standees	Standees can be placed in courses by the player. They revive ghosts during online play, but it is also recommended to use them to signal areas of a course that may be challenging. Standee Surprises can be purchased at Poplin Shops to add to the player's standee collection.

Power-ups

Items that transform Mario's appearance and give him unique abilities. They affect the other conventional playable characters, but most of them cannot affect the Yoshis or Nabbit unless otherwise noted.

Power-up	Form			Description
N/A	Small Mario	Small Luigi	Small Peach	Small Mario is his weakest form. He is unable to break Brick Blocks in this state and immediately loses a life when hit. All ? Blocks that normally would release specific power-ups instead release Super Mushrooms when struck by Small Mario. Mario reverts to his Small form when hit in his Super form, and if Mario loses a life he reenters the course in this form. There are Badge Challenges that can only be played as Small Mario, regardless of his form when these courses are selected. This is not the case if Badge Challenge is attempted as Yoshi or Nabbit.
		Small Daisy	Small Yellow Toad
		Small Blue Toad	Small Toadette
Super Mushroom	Super Mario	Super Luigi	Super Peach	Red Super Mushrooms travel along the ground and transform Small Mario into Super Mario. This is the form Mario is in at the start of the game. He can break Brick Blocks in this state and access other power-ups. Being struck in this state reverts Mario to his Small form. Passing a Checkpoint Flag as Small Mario also transforms him into his Super form.
		Super Daisy	Super Yellow Toad
		Super Blue Toad	Super Toadette
Fire Flower	Fire Mario	Fire Luigi	Fire Peach	Fire Flowers transform Mario into Fire Mario. Pressing / makes him toss a projectile fireball that defeats most enemies. Stronger foes like Rift Mario require more hits to be defeated, and fiery ones like Lava Bubbles are resistant to fire altogether. Performing a Spin Jump causes Fire Mario to toss fireballs left and right simultaneously.
		Fire Daisy	Fire Yellow Toad
		Fire Blue Toad	Fire Toadette
Super Star	Invincible Mario	Invincible Luigi	Invincible Peach	Super Stars are rare power-ups that bounce along the ground. Touching one transforms Mario into Invincible Mario for thirty seconds. He is resistant to damage and can defeat most enemies on contact. Coins are drawn to Invincible Mario like a magnet. During certain Wonder Effects, Super Stars rain from the sky like shooting stars, and touching one right after another resets the timer on the power-up's affect. Unlike other power-ups, a Super Star overlays whatever form Mario already was when he touched it, so he does not override it. Super Stars are also the only conventional power-ups that affect the Yoshis and Nabbit.
		Invincible Daisy	Invincible Yellow Toad
		Invincible Blue Toad	Invincible Toadette
Elephant Fruit	Elephant Mario	Elephant Luigi	Elephant Peach	Elephant Fruits transform Mario into Elephant Mario. Pressing / causes him to swing his trunk, which can be used to defeat enemies, collect coins behind walls, destroy large swaths of Brick Blocks, and launch shells. The trunk is not part of his hurtbox, so he can strike enemies that would otherwise damage Mario on contact. Elephant Mario can also carry water in his trunk and spray it with / . He sprays Poplins if he grabs a Goal Pole while carrying water, which makes them bloom. Elephant Mario is strong: He can defeat enemies Mario cannot like Dry Bones, and is the only form that can carry big shells.
		Elephant Daisy	Elephant Yellow Toad
		Elephant Blue Toad	Elephant Toadette
Bubble Flower	Bubble Mario	Bubble Luigi	Bubble Peach	Bubble Flowers turn Mario into Bubble Mario. Pressing / makes him blow a projectile bubble that slowly drifts through the air. One homes-in on an enemy that in their vicinity, encapsulating and transforming them into a coin within the bubble. Blown bubbles faze through walls and trigger Wow Buds they pass by. Bubble Mario can also hop off of blown bubbles like platforms. Fire-resistant enemies are all impacted by blown bubbles. Similar to Fire Mario, Mario blows bubbles left and right when he Spin Jumps in this form.
		Bubble Daisy	Bubble Yellow Toad
		Bubble Blue Toad	Bubble Toadette
Drill Mushroom	Drill Mario	Drill Luigi	Drill Peach	Drill Mushrooms are most common in underground-themed courses and transform Mario into Drill Mario. The drill cap on his head protects him from and allows him to defeat spiky enemies like Spinies. He can also tunnel through the ground by shifting the down and pressing , allowing him to pass through walls and avoid the detection of targeting enemies like Konks. He can pop out of the ground to defeat enemies, break jewel blocks, and dig up beacons. Drill Mario can also tunnel through ceilings by jumping into them.
		Drill Daisy	Drill Yellow Toad
		Drill Blue Toad	Drill Toadette

Wonder Flower

Main article: Wonder Effect

From left to right, screenshots of Mario, Yoshi, and Nabbit in their Wubba forms.

Wonder Flowers are plants endemic to the Flower Kingdom and the source of the region's mysterious power. Making contact with a Wonder Flower causes a radical change in the surrounding environment for a brief period of time that ends only after Mario has collected a Wonder Seed or touched the current course's Goal Pole. Bowser is fused with Prince Florian's Flower Castle at the start of the game when he grabs a Wonder Flower. Their color varies depending on world they are encountered in, just like Wonder Seeds and Wow Buds.

In most courses, Wonder Flowers trigger a change that impacts surrounding terrain or cause unique enemies to appear that otherwise cannot be encountered in courses, like Wonder Bulrush herds or King Boo. However, some Wonder Flowers transform Mario's form instead. Some of these involve changing him into an enemy or turning into a from from a previous Super Mario game. Unlike most of the other power-ups, these Wonder Flowers will cause the Yoshis and Nabbit change form as well. For maintaining uniform display, images are not provided of all playable characters in these forms in the table below.

Name	Description	Courses
Hoppycat Mario	Hoppycat Mario jumps incredibly high and can break through layers of Brick Blocks without stalling. His horizontal movement is slowed in this form.	The Midway Trial: Hop to It, The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory, The Final Trial: Zip Track Dash
Goomba Mario	Mario can walk on Spike Traps in his Goomba form, but walks very slowly and can hardly jump. The Wonder Effect that causes this form occurs in areas with strong enemies that cost Goomba Mario a life on contact. In Maw-Maw Mouthful, Goomba Mario's only way to avoid hungry Maw-Maws is to hide behind shrubs.	Maw-Maw Mouthful, Petal Isles Special Way of the Goomba
Balloon Mario	Rapidly pressing the jump button causes Balloon Mario to ascend. He can be gently tilted to better direct his trajectory.	Bloomps of the Desert Skies
Spike-Ball Mario	Spike-Ball Mario can rapidly roll across terrain like a bowling ball and take out enemies and certain objects in his path. He can also jump without losing momentum.	Where the Rrrumbas Rule, Deep Magma Bog Special Solar Roller
Wubba Mario	In this form, Mario can quickly slide across floors, walls, and ceilings like the enemy Wubbas. Wubba Mario can ground pound and wall jump in this form as well. The player character reverts into a tinier Wubba form similar to Small Mario when they receive damage, even if the character is a Yoshi or Nabbit.	An Uncharted Area: Wubba Ruins, A Final Uncharted Area: Poison Ruins, Operation Poplin Rescue, Deep Magma Bog Palace
Sproing Mario [derived]	Mario's torso greatly extends in this form, just like the enemies in the course during this Wonder effect. Crouching reduces Sproing Mario's stature and causes coins to drop down from above and he can grab them by standing stall because there is a slight delay between his actions and the coins. Otherwise they fly off-screen. Sproing Mario automatically hits blocks when he stands tall underneath them, and he reverts to a smaller Sproing form similar to Small Mario when he receives damage. This happens to Yoshi and Nabbit in this form as well.	Sproings in the Twilight Forest, Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace
Puffy Lift Mario [conjectural]	Puffy Lift Mario is slowly compressed when Spike-Balls and other subjects land on his top. He can otherwise jump and walk side-to-side in this form. Puffy Lift Mario is necessary to solve certain puzzles in the environment.	Up 'n' Down with Puffy Lifts
Metal Mario	A heavy, metallic form that conducts electricity without damaging Mario. Metal Mario damages enemies on contact after conducting electricity and he can access normal power-ups in this form as well. He is impervious to damage in this state. In addition to High-Voltage Gauntlet, Metal Mario appears during the staff credits for the game.	High-Voltage Gauntlet

Badges

Screenshot of the badge-selection screen.

Main article: Badge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)

A new element in this game are badges, which are similar to those from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series. Obtained either by completing a Badge Challenge or buying them with flower coins in a Poplin Shop, the player can equip their character with a badge before starting a course or after losing a life. There are a total of twenty-four badges, including nine Action Badges, which add new abilities to the characters, eleven Boost Badges, which assist the player during gameplay, and four Expert Badges, which grant an advanced skill to the characters.

Objects

Objects are interactable elements of the environment that cannot be picked up or collected by Mario. For objects that primarily function as obstructions or hazards, see above.

Name	Description
Blocks and containers
! Block	These blocks appear in courses when Mario has the Add ! Switches Boost Badge equipped. ! Blocks provide additional footing in difficult areas and sometimes release items when struck from below.
? Block	Floating blocks that contain items. They release their contents when struck from below or above by Mario. Most ? Blocks become Empty Blocks when their contents are exhausted. Most ? Blocks contain a single coin, but some are 10-Coin Blocks that can be jumped under in rapid succession to release up to ten. Some are invisible blocks and only become viewable once interacted with. In The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory, there are Shoot ? Blocks[derived] that launch skyward once struck.
? Capsule [derived]	Gashapon capsules occasionally pulled out of walls by handles. ? Capsules release a power-up when they hit the ground. Condarts carry them in some courses and drop them when they detect Mario below.
Atchi Muite Block	Rotating Blocks that only materialize when approached by Mario. They come in two different sizes, similar to Hot-Hot Rocks.
Brick Block	Recurring blocks that fall apart when struck by Mario in any form other than his Small form. Otherwise, Mario can only briefly bump them out of place to defeat enemies standing on top of them. Bricks Blocks have varied designs and colors that match their surrounding environment. Some are 10-Coin Blocks.
Cactus box [derived]	Wide boxes found in the Sunbaked Desert that look like ball cactuses. Some are stacked on top of one another and release items when ground pounded or hit by Elephant Mario's trunk. Unlike true blocks, boxes and crates always lie on the ground and fall apart when hit.
Cloud Block	Semisolid blocks that make up terrain high in the sky.
Crate	Wooden crates sit on the ground and come in various sizes, sometimes in stacks. They often contain items, and release them when ground pounded or struck by a trunk.

Dotted-Line Block	Red and blue transparent blocks that become filled when a nearby ON/OFF Switch is pressed. Only blocks of the same color as the switch become filled at a time.
Floor (block)	Unbreakable blocks that are bumped when struck regardless of Mario's form. They usually occur in areas where striking them is the only way to defeat certain enemies, like Li'l Sparkies. Some of these floor blocks contain power-ups, like ? Blocks.
Hard block	Blocks that cannot be broken directly by Mario. Hard blocks often form large platforms like staircases or barriers for collectible items. Strong enemies like Bulrushes, Gnawshers, and Smackerels can break them. In a few courses, they contain Wonder Flowers. Hard blocks are made of a variety of different materials depending on the environment, including stone, wood, gold, and candy. Underwater ones are made of coral and there are temporary light-blue ones that materialize during Wonder Effects.
Hidden Character Block	Blocks that appear when a specific character is near it, but can still be hit by other characters. They usually contain a power-up.
Icy block	Large blocks that slide along the ground. Icy blocks are generated from a device embedded in the ground and are kicked by Outmaways.

Long Donut Block	Elongated Donut Blocks. Some of them are the very wide and the only platform available within narrow corridors.
Long Rotating Block [conjectural]	Striking long Rotating Blocks makes a larger amount of potential footing to be inaccessible than the smaller ones.
Marimba Block	Colorful blocks that launch Mario higher when he jumps off of them. Marimba Blocks often form stretches of footing along the ground, and create the sound of xylophone keys when ran across.
Peanut box	Peanut boxes come in two sizes and occur on the Pipe-Rock Plateau. Like other boxes, they break when ground pounded or struck by Elephant Mario. Skedaddlers can also break peanut boxes with their projectile fruit.
Pumpkin box [derived]	Boxes in Upshroom Downshroom. They are in various sizes. During the course's Wonder Effect, the pumpkin boxes become jack-o'-lanterns and are bounced into the air by Mushroom Platforms in time with the beat of the background music.

Treasure chest	Wooden chests appear in the houses of certain Poplins and the the end of KO Arenas or Badge Challenges. They reward Mario with a Wonder Seed, 10-flower coins, or badge upon opening.
Wonder POW Block	Large POW Blocks that can be struck an innumerable amount of times. They appear during the Wonder Effect of Beware of the Rifts, in which they are the only way to stun Rift Mario.
Trigger objects
! Switch	A small ! Switch appears only in the ceiling of a sub-area in The Midway Trial: Hop to It and temporarily causes yellow blocks to materialize over Spike Traps when struck. A large ! Switch appears underneath the chin of Wonder Bowser and striking it causes him damage.
? Switch	These switches have different affects depending on the context. On the Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship, striking them causes columns of yellow blocks to disappear.
Beacon	Beacons of light release coins or other items when ground pounded or when dug in by Drill Mario. They appear on the floors or ceilings.
Handle	Pullies attached to background walls. Tugging handles causes coins and ? Capsules to pop out, or trigger a change in the surrounding environment. Mumsies and Revvers have handles on their bodies.
Light-Switch	Light-Switches cause nearby spotlights to shine for a limited period of time. They go out once the timer on the switch runs out, but they can be struck again to turn them back on.
ON/OFF Switch	These block-like switches always occur in pairs. Striking one toggles between different surrounding elements in the course, including platforms, doors, and darkness.
P Switch	Striking P Switches causes stretches of Blue Coins to materialize for a brief period of time.
Springboard object [conjectural]	The springs in these broad objects bounce upward when they are struck from below. They can be used to solve puzzles involving rolling Hoppos and Koopa Shells.
Timer-Switch	Hitting a Timer-Switch causes a beat to start playing and Rizumu Blocks to materialize in time with it.
Topple Rock	Domino-like rocks. Striking one from the side causes it to collapse, hitting whatever is on the otherside before falling apart. When one is struck with other Topple Rocks behind them, it causes of chain reaction. They can be destroyed when hit by Spike-Ball Mario and Rrrumbas.
Wilted flower	Wilted flowers bloom when hit with water. They often release items or unlock access to hidden areas when hydrated.
Wow Bud	Colorful flowers found throughout the Flower Kingdom. They release coins or activate certain elements within a course when touched, such as the shifting of terrain or emergence of a Wonder Flower. The color of Wow Buds vary depending on which area they are encountered, and some occur hovering in mid-air.
Climbable and transportation objects
Golden Propeller Flower [conjectural]	Propeller Flowers that bring Mario to Bonus: Coins Galore! They appear in a world after receiving a Game Over or by clearing The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage once.
Lakitu's Cloud	Rideable clouds that are pumped out of pipes and ridden by Lakitus. They can be ridden through the sky for a limited period of time.
Pole	Mario can swing down and move side-to-side on horizontal poles or ascend vertical ones like ladders. Normal red poles appear on the Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship, but there are more recurring Pole Blocks temporarily shoot purple ones when struck. They recede back into the blocks after a brief period of time. During certain Wonder Effects, a matrix of poles emerge from Pole Blocks.
Propeller Flower	Propeller Flowers carry Mario to hidden sub-areas within courses or to new worlds when encountered on the overworld map. They are accessed from circular stone platforms.
Vine	Climbable vines that emerge out of struck Vine Blocks or when water is sprayed on the ground. They can be climbed like ladders to reach Coin Heavens and other sub-areas. In some courses, there are clusters of vines hanging from the ceiling that can be seamlessly climbed between. Underwater, the vines are purple and look like seaweed.
Doorways
Door	Accessing doors brings Mario to subsequent parts of a course. Some Noknoks become useable doors that lead to a plane in the background when stunned.
Key Door	One-way doors that require keys. Key Doors can only be opened by keys of the same color.

Inchworm Pipe	Pipes that come to life during certain Wonder Effects. Inchworm Pipes can help bring Mario across poison swamps.
Jet Pipe	These underwater pipes expel strong currents that push Mario.
Oseru Dokan	Pipes that can be pushed. Some of these pipes correspond with an interlocking base in the ground that turns them into useable Warp Pipes when pushed on top of them.
Pipe	Most pipes are columnar platforms, some of which contain Piranha Plants. A few of them are Warp Pipes that bring Mario to another section of a course or a subterranean coin room.
Sinkin' Pipe	Sinkin' Pipes usually occur in pairs. Standing on one causes it to slowly sink into the ground and the other to rise. They slide back into place once Mario steps off. Sinkin' Pipes are needed to solve puzzles in some courses.
Water-spouting pipe [conjectural]	Spouts of water are shot out of certain pipes. During some Wonder Effects, the pipes shift up and down.
Platforms
Bone Lift	Broad bones that float on lava. Some are on top of Lava Geysers.
Bridge	Thin Semisolid Platforms. There are areas where multiple bridges stretch between narrow corridors.
Bubble	Bubble Mario blows bubbles that slowly drift through the air and capture nearby enemies. They can be used as platforms that gently spring Mario into the air, but this also pops them. Wonder Blewbirds blow platforming soap bubbles during certain Wonder Effects.
Bumper	Large blocks that bounce Mario back on contact. Some bumpers move along tracks.
Carpeted platform [conjectural]	Suspended platforms that appear during the Wonder Effect of Ninji Jump Party. They disappear and reappear in time with the beat of the background music.

Dropdown Countdown Lift	Lifts with counters on their fronts. The counter goes down by one when Mario, an enemy, or an object touches the top of the lift. When the counter reaches zero, the Dropdown Countdown Lift wobbles and quickly falls.
Fountain	Fountains are made up of a basin embedded in the floor and a Semisolid Platform. They generate water that pools within the basins.
Flatbed Ferry	Lifts that travel along tracks. Some tracks form a loop or lead to a rounded end that sends the Flatbed Ferry back the way it came. Others lack any obstruction at the end, causing the lift to fall.
Fossilized dragon	Large rocks that rotate on the surface of lava. There is a small gap on fossilized dragons that can be stood in. During certain Wonder Effects, fossilized dragon return to life.
Goo	Viscous slime attached to walls, floors, and ceilings. Mario can slowly shuffle through goo, but Wubbas can swim through it effortlessly.
Hip Tree	Semisolid acacias on the Pipe-Rock Plateau. Hip Trees shift once ground pounded, and one brings Mario to a sub-area in the sky.
Hollow log platform [conjectural]	Log platforms that travel along tracks. Hoppycats hide within in them and hop horizontally when Mario jumps. This can be used to hit blocks and defeat oncoming enemies.
Lift	Wooden platforms that are suspended above ground. Many of them move in set paths and are of varied lengths.
Linking Lift	Green lifts that travel through the sky on tracks. They are composed of segments called Linking Blocks[derived] that add to a Linking Lift's length when struck from below. The leftmost segments eventually flash and disappear, progressively shortening the Linking Lift as it moves.
Mienai Ashiba	Semisolid slopes that materialize during certain Wonder Effects. The slopes are invisible outside of small radius surrounding Mario and whatever enemies are on top of it, within which it glows gold.
Mushroom Platform	Large mushrooms of various widths that can be stood on. Some are rooted to ceilings. Mushroom Platforms shift up and down during the Wonder Effect of Upshroom Downshroom.
Mushroom Trampoline	Mushroom Platforms that bounce the player.
ON/OFF floor [conjectural]	Red and blue Semisolid Platforms that are activated by ON/OFF Switches. Blue ones function like normal while red ones can be passed through from above but not below.
ON/OFF Zip Track [conjectural]	Red and blue Zip Tracks that switch directions when ON/OFF Switches are hit.
Puffy Lift	Layered lifts that sit on the ground. Puffy Lifts slowly decompress when Mario, Spike-Balls, or enemies stand on them. They rise once the pressure is alleviated, so Mario can keep them from falling too low by repeatedly jumping.
Pump Lift	Pump Lifts are filled with air and fastened to tracks. They only move along them when Mario lands on them, which forces the air out of them. He must jump repeatedly to push them along tracks.
Pushable wall [conjectural]	Blocky walls on rollers. They can be pushed along the ground to solve puzzles. Mario loses a life if a Shova traps Mario between one of these walls and normal terrain.
Rhythm floor [conjectural]	These platforms launch Mario high into the air when he jumps off of them in time with the beat of the background music.
Rhythm platform [conjectural]	Columnar platforms that rise when Mario jumps in time with the background beat.
Sankaku Trampoline	Triangular trampolines that slowly spin. Mario can use them to cross large gaps, but they can also send him backwards or into pits depending on which angle he collides with it at.
Semisolid Platform	These are platforms elevated above ground. Mario can jump through them from underneath to land on their tops, but he cannot fall through them. Semisolid Platforms occur throughout most courses in the game and have different designs that compliment the surrounding environment. Many of them are tree tops and some are sloped.
Ship (Wonder Effect) [conjectural]	A ship that travels along poison and appears only during certain Wonder Effects. A cannon is positioned near the stern of the ship that Mario can use to destroy oncoming terrain, obstacles, and enemies with large bombs.
Totchī	Semisolid Platforms come to live during certain Wonder Effects. They follow Mario on little legs. Mario can lure Totchī across otherwise unwalkable terrain by standing on the far ends of their tops. When a nearby Wonder Seed is collected, Totchī revert to normal Semisolid Platforms in the spots where they last stood.
Zip Track	Rapid tracks found on ceilings, walls, and floors. Mario can grab onto Zip Tracks and be rapidly carried through a course.
Goals
Checkpoint Flag	Checkpoint Flags generally mark the halfway point in courses. If Mario loses a life after having touched a Checkpoint Flag, he reappears at the flag rather than the start of the course. If Mario touches one in his Small form, he is immediately transformed into Super Mario.
Goal (Wiggler Race)	The goalposts at the end of Wiggler Races. Reaching these goals before the Racing Wiggler awards Mario with a Wonder Seed.
Goal Pole	Flagpoles that complete courses when touched. Mario slides down the pole and replaces Bowser's flag with his own once touched. If he grabs the very top of the flagpole, he is awarded an extra life and marks the course with a gold flag on the course-selection screen. During multiplayer, player characters receive more points the higher they are on Goal Pole. Touching one also ends Wonder Effects and defeats all enemies on-screen when touched.
Goal Pole (secret)	Goal Poles that represent secret exits. Most of them cause a previously hidden course to appear on the overworld map, or at least awards Mario with a Wonder Seed he otherwise would have overlooked. These Goal Poles occur off the beaten path.
Other objects
Arrow Sign	Signs that direct players towards the intended path of an area.
Cloud	Clouds obscure the player's view and conceals objects. They dissipate when Mario passes through them. Enemies sometimes are concealed in mist, and their are thunder cloud variants that cause damage.
Coin blaster [conjectural]	Bill Blaster-like turrets found in Bonus: Coins Galore! They fire coins and flower coins.
Current	Strong jets generated by sponges and Jet Pipes. They push Mario as he swims, but he can circumvent this by performng a dolphin kick.
ON/OFF wall [conjectural]	Red and blue barriers that are activated by ON/OFF Switches.
Shrub [conjectural]	Flora that Goomba Mario can hide behind to avoid detection from Maw-Maws.
Sign	Signs appear only in the open areas of worlds and outlines tips for navigation.

Main article: List of Super Mario Bros. Wonder staff

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was produced by Takashi Tezuka and directed by Shiro Mouri, who previously served as the programming director for New Super Mario Bros. U and director for New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. This is the first game in the Mario franchise to feature Kevin Afghani as the voice of Mario and Luigi, succeeding Charles Martinet, who voiced the brothers since Mario in Real Time in 1991. It is also the first game to feature Giselle Fernandez as the voice of Daisy in lieu of Deanna Mustard, who voiced the character since 2003's Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour; and Dawn M. Bennett as Nabbit.

Development

Masanobu Sato's proposed concept of warping the player after collecting an item. This would eventually become the final game's Wonder Effects.

Takashi Tezuka began conceptualizing ideas for Super Mario Bros. Wonder during the development of Super Mario Maker 2. He had already planned for the game to be very different from the Super Mario Maker games which was further motivated by public sentiment saying the Super Mario Maker games eliminated the need for another 2D Super Mario game. Shiro Mouri also said that the game should run on a new engine during the beginning of development. In order for the developers to reach Tezuka's proposal, no deadline was given. They held an idea-sharing session in order to come up with ideas that would surprise players, a strategy used during the creation of 3D Super Mario games. Koji Kondo even suggested some ideas, including that Mario be transformed into an anatomically realistic version of himself. In the end, they ended up with over 2,000 ideas written down on sticky notes.

One of the ideas Masanobu Sato had come up with was warping the player to another world after collecting an item. Tezuka dismissed the idea since warping to a different location has already been used in the games and instead suggested that the level itself transforms. After making a prototype where a Warp Pipe moves like a creature, Mouri came up with the central theme where the world would dramatically change in a way unseen in previous games. They contextualized this radical change through the Wonder Effect mechanic. To compliment this change, the soundscape also changed to be more unconventional. More emphasis is given to environmental sounds and sound effects and the background music incorporates digital synthesizers, contrasting against the analog synthesizer used in New Super Mario Bros.

The increased expressiveness in the animations was inspired by The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Tezuka comments that new players will expect Mario to animate similarly to how he does in the movie. He later clarifies that the developers did not know the specifics of the movie and were just aware that new players would base their expectations of the game on the movie. With the increased detail in the animations, the number of animations and joints on the models have more than doubled when compared to New Super Mario Bros. U.

Promotion

By pre-ordering the game through GameStop, customers received an exclusive sticker set depicting the playable characters, a Wonder Flower, and a Talking Flower.

By pre-ordering the game through Walmart's website, customers received a trading card pack, each containing ten cards randomly pulled from a total of 20 difference cards to get. All of the possible cards that were distributed in the card packs include 15 base cards, 4 holofoil cards, and a limited edition holofoil card depicting Elephant Mario with only 1,000 produced.

At Target, an exclusive shadowbox collectable depicting the game's main artwork could be received with purchase of the game in-store.

By pre-ordering the game through Best Buy's website, customers received a free art print with the game's main artwork.

In Canada, customers were given a free Elephant Mario keychain as a pre-order bonus for the game at GameStop. Those who pre-ordered the game at Walmart received an exclusive pop-out magnetic set.

An Elephant Fruit stress ball was initially announced as a pre-order bonus for certain retailers in multiple regions, including the My Nintendo Store in Europe (alongside pins of an Elephant Fruit, Talking Flower, and Wonder Flower), GAME in the UK, and JB Hi-Fi in Australia, though it was later canceled due to production issues. My Nintendo Store customers instead only received the pins, while the stress ball was replaced by the same pins with GAME and a pin of Elephant Mario with JB Hi-Fi. A bundle containing the game, a Talking Flower resin figure, 2D diorama, and magnets using the game's promotional artwork is also available at the My Nintendo Store in the UK and Ireland. Customers in Australia who pre-ordered the game through EB Games received the same pins as Europe's My Nintendo Store and GAME.

In Italy, a "Super Mario Immersive Hub" was open in Milan on October 14 and 15, in which the game's demo could be played. A promotional event made in collaboration with soccer club Catania FC took place at Stadio Angelo Massimino in Catania on October 22.

Advertisements for the game were shown in Times Square.

From September 1st, 2023 to April 26th, 2024, a series of articles titled "『スーパーマリオブラザーズ ワンダー』の世界せかいへ" (Into the World of Super Mario Bros. Wonder) or simply "ワンダーの世界せかいへ" (Into the World of Wonder) was released on the official Japanese Nintendo website. The series consisted of eighteen volumes, detailing various aspects of the gameplay and story of the game.

Reception

Super Mario Bros. Wonder received critical acclaim, with an aggregate score of 92 out of 100 based on 130 reviews on aggregator Metacritic, the highest for a 2D Super Mario Bros. title since New Super Mario Bros., released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS.

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo Switch	John Rairdin, NintendoWorldReport	9/10	"However, even with these blemishes, at the end of the day Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an incredible breath of fresh air overall. It has reaffirmed that 2D Mario has the potential to be more than just good, it can be incredible. It sweeps away any concerns I had that my love of the best games in the series isn’t just nostalgia and that a truly original 2D Mario absolutely has the potential to stand alongside Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World. While Super Mario Bros. Wonder isn’t quite perfect, it is a gleaming star we can hopefully follow into a new era for 2D Mario."
Nintendo Switch	Jess Lee, Digital Spy	3.5/5	"It is a game that tries to evoke a feeling of discovery at every possible turn, but in doing so loses the element of wonder fairly quickly. Instead, Wonder's strongest moments are when it takes a breather, taking the time to set the scene while letting the platforming do the talking."
Nintendo Switch	Jenni Lada, Silconera	9/10	"Super Mario Bros Wonder is clearly designed to be a game for everyone, regardless of skill level. The relative ease of main campaign stages that aren’t hidden away and addition of badges and “easy mode” characters Yoshi and Nabbit absolutely feel welcoming. The plethora of secrets and variety in stages feel more suited for people familiar with the series, giving them something to dig into as they play. While the downside means a somewhat decreased challenge, it’s still a delight."

Glitches

Skip half of World 1, 2, and 3

Two players are required to perform this glitch.

The player must complete the first three levels of the game to have access to the rest of World 1, then reach the end of the level Break Time! Hurry, Hurry. The player must add a second player and have them collect the Wonder Seed. On the map, the player who has the crown has to move towards the Badge House to the west of the level. The player without the crown must move to the north east, so that they are not visible on the screen. Once this is done, the player has to reselect the characters. The character who did not have the crown will teleport to the one who did have it, but will be able to move out of bounds. Using the character with the crown as a guide to better visualize, the player has to guide the character without the crown to the bottom past the cloud, where the player must reselect and choose only the character who is out of bounds. There will be a point when the character has to jump to be able to bypass the Wonder Packun. A cutscene will cause the character to be stuck in place, so the player will have to repeat the process, since this time the cutscene will not appear; after this, the character will be able to access the entrance of Petal Isles. Although World 1 is not completed, Florian's cutscene will play out as normal, and the Royal Seed will eliminate one of the Cloud Piranhas, even though the player did not collect it.

To skip World 2, the player must continue playing until they clear the level Blewbird Roost to unlock the island that leads to World 2, where they must add a second character again. One of the players has to stand at the beginning of the path (but from the island where the two players are) and the other character has to be up to the north-west (north-east side for the player), jump and open the menu while in the air. Reselecting the two players again, the character who was at the beginning of the path has to move down and the one who was next to the Wonder Packun will follow them, but will be out of bounds. The player must carefully move the character that is out of bounds to the island to the east and enter any level. Both players have to leave the level and clear the Wiggler Race level Swimming!, after which players will have access to the next part of Petal Isles, skipping the completion of World 2.

To skip World 3, the player must collect all eight Wonder Seeds to access said world. When the player has passed Master Poplin's House, they have to add the second player again. The player must move one of the characters to the first golden square and move the second player to the level to the south. Players have to reselect the characters and the one that was at the bottom will be out of bounds. Going to the north west will allow the character who was out of bounds to access the pipe that leads to World 4, skipping the rest of World 3. The player will be stuck because they never opened the door, but by entering the only level there and losing all lives, the character will be in the same world but from outside the door, leaving free access to the rest of the world. Returning to Petal Isles, the game will never tell the player the name of World 4 (this also happens in World 3) and the player will no longer be able to return to World 4. The player will only be able to return to World 4 (in this state) by selecting a level in that world, as long as the player has passed it. Beating the palace in World 4 will make the game believe that the other three worlds have already been beaten.

When World 6 has been cleared, the player will have access to Castle Bowser even though there are still two Cloud Piranhas surrounding him.

This glitch works because the game only checks that the last three Royal Seeds have been obtained before allowing access to Castle Bowser.

This glitch was patched in the version 1.0.1 update, released on November 21, 2023.

• Mario Bros.: This game's demonstration cutscene music track (a snippet of Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik) is rearranged for the introduction screen of KO Arena levels, and the phase start music track (phase 2 onward) is rearranged for the music tracks played during rounds in these levels.
• Super Mario Bros.: Mario's jumping animation closely resembles the poseMedia:Mario and mushroom SMB1 artwork.png he makes on the Japanese box art from this game. Several notes from the ending fanfare are played at the beginning of the intro cutscene. The secret exit in Piranha Plants on Parade, the second level of the game, shows a pipe configuration identical to the one in World 1-2 shortly after the end-of-level fortress. Shining Falls Special Triple Threat Deluge's first section remakes the beginning of World 1-1 and the lift section of World 1-2. In The Sharp Trial: Launch to Victory, during the Wonder Flower's effect, there is a block formation referencing the Fire Flower sprite from this game.
• Super Mario Bros. 2: The Power Squat Jump move reappears as the Crouching High Jump badge, and Luigi's high jump and Scuttle return as the Floating High Jump badge. The secret exit in Hot-Hot Hot! involves entering a door to access a silhouetted version of the level similar to Subspace (except not mirrored).
• Super Mario Bros. 3: Nipper Plants and lava on the ceiling return. Boos are redesigned with smaller eyes and highly-raised eyebrows like in this game's artwork. The Enemy Course theme is reused in the Trottin' Piranha Plants minigame. A cover of the P-Meter sound effect can faintly be heard behind the sound of an inflating Item Balloon. The sound effect that plays when hitting a Hidden Character Block resembles the sound effect that plays when matching card pairs in a Matching Game. Muncher Fields is based on World 7-7. The block formation atop the ancient temple in The Desert Mystery is based on those found atop the Semisolid Platform pyramids in World 2-3. The minigame theme is reused for the Wonder Effect in Taily's Toxic Pond and a portion of the end credits. Part of the Dark Land theme is arranged in the Castle Bowser map theme.
• Super Mario Land: A loading screen tip describing Daisy mentions Sarasaland, a location from this game.
• Super Mario World: Princess Peach is escorted to the Flower Kingdom by Yoshi with her hands on her lap, similar to the ending from this game. The Yoshis' design shares traits from their design from this game and are the same colors (except with Light-Blue Yoshi instead of Blue Yoshi). Several of Mario and Luigi's animations are similar to the ones in this game such as ducking, falling with their caps floating up slightly, and losing a life. Ground is differentiated from Semisolid Platforms by being sodded on all of its sides as opposed to only being sodded on its upper side, like in this game. The digging sound when using the Drill powerup resembles the sound effect for when a block is broken from this game. The player can throw shells upward and crouch while holding items. The new snail enemies can be removed from their shells when stomped on similar to Koopa Troopas. One of the Wonder Effects is the playable character inflating like a balloon. Lil Sparkies, Hotheads, Rotating Blocks, and semisolid slopes return. The Add ! Blocks badge functions similarly to this game's Switch Palaces. Yoshis can extend their tongues through walls like in this game. Cheep Cheeps actively avoid changing water tides like in this game. After completing a world, a cutscene plays with dialogue that reflects on the player's journey, which are reminiscent of similar cutscenes that play when the player destroys a Castle in this game. The final line in the final Poplin house, "YOU ARE A SUPER WONDER!", is a homage to the phrase "YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER!" from the level Funky.
• Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: The 1-Up jingle sounds very similar to how it did in this game. Melon Piranha Plants spit seeds similar to Yoshi and Ukikis with a watermelon, and Yoshis can spit seeds by eating them as well. The Yoshis' animations like running and falling is similar to this game's.
• Super Mario 64: Part of "Koopa's Theme" plays when Bowser is transformed into Castle Bowser from the effects of the Wonder Flower.

• Yoshi's Story: Wheel lifts return.
• Super Mario Sunshine: The Underground Theme arrangement reduces the main motif to three notes, sounding similar to the Delfino Airstrip theme. The "Isle Delfino" and "Secret Course" themes are reused for Break Time! levels. Revvers can be pulled from their leashes and launched forwards and wear red, spiked collars similar to Chain Chomplets.
• Yoshi Topsy-Turvy: Red Yoshi's artwork from the character select screen has a similar pose to Yoshi's artworkMedia:Yoshi Topsy-Turvy - Yoshi artwork.png from this game.
• New Super Mario Bros. series: The "Super Mario Bros." part of the series' logo is used in this game's logo, with the design being based on its more three-dimensional appearance as of New Super Mario Bros. 2. The sound that Yoshis make when stomping on enemies is reused. Secret Goal Poles with red flags and black bases return. Bowser Jr.'s boss fights function similarly to the boss fights against himself and the Koopalings in this series, albeit without the ability to retreat inside his shell when he is about to get stomped present in the original game. In the final phase of the first Wonder Bowser Jr. battle, the players shrunken by Wonder Bowser Jr. have floatier physics, like the Mini power-up. 10-flower coins act as the equivalent of Star Coins, behaving identically with three to collect in every normal stage.
• New Super Mario Bros.: Babooms function similarly to Kab-ombs, also exploding into fireworks when defeated.
• Super Mario Galaxy: Captain Toad's theme returns from this game. Pumpkins with a Jack O'Goomba's face carving appear. The theme that plays when the Cosmic Clone-esque enemy is chasing the player is based on the Cosmic Comet theme.

Light-Blue Yoshi's artwork for this game has a very similar pose to its artworkMedia:YellowToadLightBlueYoshi.jpg from this game, but without Yellow Toad riding on him. The secret area containing the third 10-flower coin of Downpour Uproar is based on the secret area containing the third Star Coin in World 4-3.

U styles. Power-ups, items, or objects can appear out of pipes like in this series if they are inserted into pipes in editing mode. POW Blocks can defeat Munchers, like in this series. Bill Blasters are affected by gravity, like in this series. Stand-alone Vines return. An arrangement of the Super Mario Bros.-style airship theme plays in the battleship levels.

The Jet Run badge functions similarly to the gameplay of this game, but faster paced. Invincible Mario can attract nearby coins like in this game.
• Super Mario Odyssey: The distinction between generic gold Coins and their purple setting-themed variants returns. The player can skip the Warp Pipe-entering animation by performing a Ground Pound, like in this game.
