Nintendo has officially announced the highly anticipated new 2D Super Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, set to release on the Nintendo Switch later this year. After months of rumors, fans can now anticipate what this game has in store for them.
Throughout the years, the majority of 2D Super Mario Bros. games have received widespread critical acclaim, although a few of the more recent entries were not as well-received. New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the 3DS and New Super Mario Bros. U are often considered some of the weaker 2D Super Mario games. However, Super Mario Bros. Wonder appears to be pushing the long-standing franchise forward in exciting ways. From the reveal trailer, it seems to retain the beloved elements of the New Super Mario Bros. series while also exploring innovative new directions.
The Super Mario Bros. Wonder reveal trailer is packed with exciting details, confirming its release date of October 20th. With enhanced animation and vibrant colors, this new installment surpasses its predecessors. Mario and his friends face various platforming challenges, encountering both new enemies and familiar foes. Along the way, they can collect power-ups that provide advantages, such as warping the game world with animated pipes, increasing Mario's height, transforming into a spike ball, and more.
In this journey, Mario won't be alone. Similar to the New Super Mario Bros. series, Super Mario Bros. Wonder offers co-op play, allowing players to join forces with Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, and even Princess Daisy, much to the delight of hardcore Super Mario fans. With its impressive features, Super Mario Bros. Wonder appears to have all the elements to fulfill expectations. We eagerly await its launch to see if it lives up to the hype.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is set to release exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on October 20. The recently unveiled Wonder trailer showcases an exciting new power-up for Mario in his latest adventure. In this power-up, Mario transforms into a magnificent elephant that possesses the ability to kick away goombas. While the trailer doesn't reveal the full extent of the elephant form's powers, it is speculated that other playable characters in the game may also have their own elephant transformations. Fans eagerly await further details, which will be revealed in due course.
