  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first new 2D Mario platformer in over a decade, set to release on October 20 for Nintendo Switch.

  • The game introduces new power-ups like elephant, bubble, and drill transformations, as well as magical "Wonder Flowers" that trigger trippy effects.

  • You can play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and many other characters in single player or online co-op with up to 4 friends.

  • Online features include friend rooms, persistent online mode, races, and standees to leave messages for other players.

  • With creative new mechanics and evolved multiplayer, Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks to be an exciting send-off for the Switch if it's the last core Mario game.
