Ultimate Reveal: The Epic Transformation of Super Mario Bros with a Mind-Blowing New Update!

Super Mario Bros Wonder introduces exciting new elements that may unlock undiscovered potential in Super Mario Maker 2, hinting at the possibility of additional DLC for another thrilling Mario title by Nintendo

The Wonder Flower in Super Mario Bros. Wonder brings wacky new mechanics to the 2D Mario series, differentiating it from previous entries. While 2D Mario platformers were losing popularity, Nintendo revitalized the franchise with Super Mario Maker, allowing players to create their own stages. With Super Mario Bros. Wonder's arrival, it's time to update Super Mario Maker 2, which has seen continued activity since its release. However, Nintendo's support for the game seems to have ended with the supposed final free update in April 2020. Despite this, there's still hope that Nintendo may surprise players with a new update featuring Super Mario Bros. Wonder items for creative use.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Items Could Unlock a New Potential for Super Mario Maker 2

Super Mario Maker 2 elevated the creative possibilities of the original game by introducing new features, such as incorporating elements from Super Mario 3D World and revamping the user interface design. While these additions distinguished it from its predecessor, relying solely on Super Mario Bros. Wonder content might not be enough to differentiate Super Mario Maker 3 from previous versions. Nevertheless, there appears to be a substantial array of fresh items and power-ups arriving in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, making an update to Super Mario Maker 2 a justified choice.

The pinnacle of creative potential in Super Mario Bros. Wonder is undoubtedly the eponymous Wonder Flower. When collected, this item triggers one of numerous Wonder effects that can dramatically alter the mechanics of the level or even the player. With this item, creators in Super Mario Maker 2 can infuse their levels with a surreal twist by selecting which Wonder effect activates upon player acquisition. As a result, players must remain alert while navigating already challenging levels, as the Wonder Flower has the potential to catch them off guard with unexpected surprises.

The Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer showcases a notable feature - a fruit that transforms Mario into a peculiar humanoid elephant. This power-up has the potential to introduce unique level mechanics in Super Mario Maker 2. With the ability to attack enemies using his trunk, this power-up could prove valuable in levels that require quickly navigating through hordes of enemies or bosses. Players can also explore creative possibilities by incorporating all of Mario's animal power-ups, such as the Super Acorn or Super Bell, with the new Elephant Mario item in themed levels.

Despite Nintendo's past tendency to update games that have seemingly ended support, like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe receiving the Booster Course Pass DLC five years after its release, it remains unknown whether the Super Mario Bros. Wonder content would be included in a paid DLC expansion for Super Mario Maker 2. Nonetheless, the excitement surrounding the new 2D Mario title is likely to entice many players to re-engage with the game. Given that Super Mario Maker 2 hasn't maintained the same level of engagement as its predecessor, an update like this could serve as an excellent means of keeping the game fresh, akin to the approach taken by Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and its DLC.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder launches on October 20 for Nintendo Switch.
