It’s Nintendo Direct time again, folks. This time, we’re getting a look at Super Mario Bros Wonder.
Super Mario Bros Wonder is the next in the New Super Mario Bros series of classically styled 2D, sidescrolling platformers. These games have proven popular in the past and are most widely enjoyed as chaotic, uproarious cooperative experiences. They seek to capture a style of platformer that has largely fallen out of fashion — the very sort that Super Mario Bros popularised on the NES, with many modern flourishes thrown in to keep it fresh. It seems to work! The 2D Mario formula is still kicking after all these years.
In addition to featuring many favourite characters from the series, and a change to Mario’s voice, Super Mario Bros Wonder is also notable for allowing the player to transform Mario into an Elephant Man.
Look at this guy. An utterly sturdy unit. A proper brick sh*thouse. An inspiration to plus-size boys everywhere.
You can find out more about Elephant Mario, and the other forms he can take (I GUESS, like they even MATTER) during the Direct.
