In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players may wonder how to save their progress as they advance through different levels. In previous Mario games, saving was only possible upon completing a castle or special stage. Fortunately, this is no longer the situation.
This guide will demonstrate to gamers the steps to save their progress in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Additionally, it will provide instructions on how to load their saved game after exiting.
How to Save
To manually save in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players simply need to press the + button to open the Main Menu. From there, they can select the Save option and confirm by selecting OK when prompted. Super Mario Bros. Wonder allows players to save the game at any point, as long as they have completed a course.
Additionally, the game features auto-saving at certain points. Unlike other games, however, manually saving does not create a separate save file. Regardless of whether it was a manual save or an auto-save, players will always resume from the last save point when they load up the game.
Players should remember to manually save the game before exiting, and it's a good practice to do so periodically even if they plan to keep playing. This precaution guards against unexpected incidents like the Switch shutting down unexpectedly or the game crashing suddenly.
Furthermore, members of Nintendo Switch Online should take advantage of the option to back up their saves on the cloud. This can be done by exiting the game, selecting Options on the Super Mario Bros. Wonder app from the home screen, and accessing the Save Data Cloud section to choose their user.
How to Load
After initiating a Super Mario Bros. Wonder game, players can access their save file from the title screen by selecting their user. The save data will be automatically overwritten with new saves or autosaves, preventing players from reverting to previous versions within the same file.
To reset the game progress in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players can delete their save data by hovering over their user's file and pressing the + button. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is currently only available on the Nintendo Switch.
