Unveiled in a shimmering trailer reminiscent of the SNES opuses, Super Mario Bros. wonder will put us in the overalls and dresses of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad and Daisy (big first!) to save, once again, the Mushroom Kingdom from the koopa invasion. Note also that if Yoshi is very little highlighted in these first images, he will be playable.
One small step for the man, one giant leap for the plumber
Almost every modern Mario has found a strong guideline, and this new installment will be no exception to the rule: glittering plants called Wonder Flowers are scattered throughout the levels, transforming the surrounding world into a psychedelic delirium filled with traps and moving elements. . We were also able to see a sequence of gameplay on several levels.
New power-ups will embellish our progress, such as Mario’s brand new elephantine form. The Wonder Flowers can also cause temporary transformations: for example, Mario can become a huge ball that rolls and crushes the moss, or lengthens and shrinks to the rhythm of the music. An ode to chaos that will shine even brighter in four-player local co-op. Our different protagonists will also have slightly different abilities, as tradition dictates: Luigi jumps higher, Peach can hover with her dress… and Daisy, for her first 2D game, will be able to use her biceps to push certain elements of the decor.
Super Mario Bros. wonder will be released on October 20, 2023, the same day as Spider-Man 2: between the two heroes in red, it will be necessary to choose sides… It’s up to Xbox to line up an exclusive to complete the holy trinity. Joking aside, pre-orders are already open on Nintendo eShop.
