Although most people will have to wait until October 20 to play Super Mario Bros. Wonder, there is one fortunate fan who has already managed to get their hands on the highly anticipated game. This new release marks the first side-scrolling platformer for consoles in over a decade, after years of re-releases and remasters. Needless to say, fans are thrilled about the plumber's return to this classic formula.

However, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is not just a nostalgic throwback. It introduces new power-ups, such as Elephant Mario, which promise to make this entry one of the most delightfully peculiar games in the series to date. Furthermore, the positive reviews are only fueling the excitement among fans for this new adventure. Fortunately, the wait is almost over for gamers, although some lucky ones don't have to wait at all.

A Reddit user named lakot1 recently shared a photo of their new copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, expressing their amazement at being able to get it a few days before the official release. According to the gamer, they stumbled upon the copy while browsing in a shop in Greece. It turns out that the store had just received copies of the game on that very day. Interestingly, this isn't an uncommon occurrence, as some fortunate gamers had also received The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom before its May launch date.

Fortunately, most fans won't have to wait much longer to play the game. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is set to be released digitally at 9 pm PT on Thursday, October 19. However, even getting a highly anticipated game like this a day early is definitely a reason for excitement.

Not only are certain stores selling the game early, but Super Mario Bros. Wonder has also leaked online this week, leading to gamers already speedrunning it. Unfortunately, this has resulted in the sharing of spoilers on social media. Therefore, fans who want to go into the game with minimal prior knowledge should be cautious when scrolling through their feeds.

The launch week for Super Mario Bros. Wonder is incredibly busy. Sonic Superstars, another side-scrolling platformer, has just been released on various platforms, while the latest PS5 exclusive from PlayStation, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, is also launching on the same day. Remarkably, all three games are receiving positive reviews, indicating that it is an exciting time to be a gamer regardless of the platform.
