About this game

Super Mario Bros. Wonder sends Mario and friends through side-scrolling courses in the Flower Kingdom. Touch a Wonder Flower and the course changes: pipes can start moving, or your character can take a different form. Power-ups offer other ways through obstacles, including bubbles that briefly become footholds. Your badge choice adds another layer to movement. Abilities include gliding with a hat and reaching walls with a vine, but only one badge can be equipped per course. Earn more through Badge Challenges or certain shops, then choose which ability to bring. Open sections of the world map allow different course orders. In local cooperative play, touching a teammate before the ghost countdown ends brings a fallen player back into the action.

Collected in series

Super Mario is Nintendo’s platform-adventure series, first launched in 1985. Mario and his friends leap through the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond, exploring colorful worlds and tackling playful challenges. Mushrooms, coins, pipes and surprising power-ups make every adventure full of discoveries.

9.4 / 10Nintendo Switch

A promising fit for platforming fans who enjoy adapting to changing courses and experimenting with movement.

Wonder effects suggest a rhythm of learning a route and then reacting when its rules change. Badges offer a more deliberate choice before that surprise, while cooperative revival gives companions a practical way to help.

Strengths

  • Movement badges give players a concrete way to approach obstacles according to their preferred technique.
  • Reviving a teammate can make cooperation matter beyond simply sharing the screen.

Who it is for: Players who like course-based jumping, unusual transformations and trying different movement tools.

Play notes: The group shares the one-badge-per-course limit, so playing together does not let everyone equip a separate badge.

The option to choose course order in open map areas offers some control over what to attempt next, without making the whole adventure unrestricted.

Choosing a movement badge before responding to Wonder effects should appeal to players who enjoy both preparation and improvisation.

Pipes that move and characters that transform can make the visual surprise part of the platforming challenge itself.

An in-menu Action Guide gives players a useful reference when an unfamiliar move needs clarification.
