So what is the release date of Super Mario Bros Wonder? The game is scheduled to be released on October 20. As a Nintendo exclusive, the 2D Mario platformer will be available on the Nintendo Switch console.
The gameplay showcased in the Nintendo Direct presentation gave fans a glimpse into the exciting new features. Mario was seen grinding on rails, swimming up waterfalls, and skillfully avoiding rollerskating Koopas. Additionally, the game introduces a new power-up: the Elephant suit, enabling Mario to unleash unique abilities and interact with the environment in unexpected ways.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder expands the roster of playable characters beyond Mario by including Daisy as a playable character. In addition to Mario and Daisy, players can assume the roles of iconic characters like Peach, Luigi, and Toad. Each character brings their own unique abilities, adding depth and variety to the gameplay experience.
One of the most noticeable departures from previous 2D Mario games is the new art style featured in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The game boasts more detailed backgrounds and slightly redesigned character models, breathing fresh life into the visual presentation. This departure from the traditional New Super Mario Bros. visuals, consistent for nearly two decades, adds a welcome visual flair to the game.
Super Mario Bros Wonder’s release date is October 20, and it will be exclusive to Nintendo Switch.
