Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a Nintendo Switch platform game that sends Mario and friends through the Flower Kingdom, where Wonder Flowers transform stages in unpredictable ways.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a side-scrolling platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. Released in 2023, it follows Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toads, Yoshis, and Nabbit as they travel through the Flower Kingdom after Bowser uses a Wonder Flower to merge with Prince Florian's castle.
The game returns to 2D Mario courses built around running, jumping, secrets, enemies, and power-ups. Each level can include a Wonder Flower that temporarily changes the rules, turning pipes alive, altering gravity, transforming characters, or shifting the stage into a one-off set piece.
Players collect Wonder Seeds to open new paths across the world map, equip badges that modify movement or abilities, and choose characters with different accessibility traits. Local multiplayer supports up to four players on one system, while online play lets players appear as helpful ghosts, place standees, or join friend rooms.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder emphasizes expressive animation, bright stage themes, and reactive background details. Its new power-ups, including Elephant Fruit, Bubble Flower, and Drill Mushroom, push the game toward playful visual gags as much as platforming challenges.
The game was one of 2023's most acclaimed family and platform releases. It won Best Family Game at The Game Awards 2023, Family Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards, and Family and Multiplayer honors at the British Academy Games Awards.
