Highlights
Super Mario Bros. Wonder brings back Nabbit as a playable character, who first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U in 2012.
The game maintains its beloved 4-player local co-op mode, as Mario and Luigi are joined by Princess Peach and Princess Daisy as playable characters. Additionally, players have the option to select from two Toads, Toadette, and four different versions of Yoshi.
Yoshi and Nabbit possess distinctive abilities but are unable to utilize power-ups. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has unveiled its complete lineup of playable characters, which includes the unexpected comeback of Nabbit, a character initially introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U from 2012. Serving as the first entirely fresh 2D Super Mario game in more than ten years, Super Mario Bros. Wonder seems to be a seamless progression from the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series, despite omitting the "New" designation in its title.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder offers 4-player local co-op, a popular feature from the New Super Mario Bros. games. Unlike previous games, Princess Peach and Princess Daisy can now be played alongside Mario, Luigi, and Toads. The first Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer introduced these characters, but additional playable characters have since been announced.
In the latest Nintendo Direct, Super Mario Bros. Wonder was the main focus. The Direct provided intriguing details about the game, including the lineup of playable characters. It was revealed that players can choose between two Toads - Yellow Toad and Blue Toad - as well as Toadette. Additionally, there are four variations of Yoshi available: regular Yoshi, Red Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, and Light-Blue Yoshi. Lastly, players will have the opportunity to take on the role of Nabbit, the mischievous thief from New Super Mario Bros. U.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players have the option to choose from 12 playable characters. However, selecting Yoshi or Nabbit will provide a different gameplay experience. These characters are immune to damage, but can still perish from falling into pits. The drawback is that they are unable to utilize any power-ups in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Despite this, it is advisable for players to have a Yoshi on their team. Yoshi possesses unique abilities such as the flutter jump, the ability to use its tongue to grab objects, and the potential to be ridden by other players. These attributes can greatly assist in navigating challenging sections of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, allowing skilled players to guide their co-op partners to the end of any course.
There is a chance that Super Mario Bros. Wonder holds additional hidden characters waiting to be discovered, as the franchise is known for its abundance of secrets. However, we can only speculate regarding this matter currently. Fans eagerly anticipate the release date of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which is set for October 20, exclusively on the Switch.
