Super Mario Bros. Wonder marks the first installment in the 2D sidescrolling series in over a decade, with the previous entry being New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U back in 2012. This time, Mario's adventure takes on a trippier experience, thanks to the introduction of a new item known as the Wonder Flower. This flower not only creates mesmerizing visual effects within the game levels but also transforms the world around players in real-time. Additionally, players can collect and equip helpful Badges that offer advantages for traversal, along with new Power-ups like the Elephant Fruit, Drill Mushroom, and Bubble Flower.
