Nintendo Officially Reveals Next Mario Side-Scrolling Game Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Nintendo Officially Reveals Next Mario Side-Scrolling Game Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Nintendo had done of plenty reveals for their recent Nintendo Direct event, but the whole show was ended with the announcement for the next big Mario side-scrolling game.

Take a look at Super Mario Bros. Wonder:

Surprise and wonder await at every corner in the next evolution of 2D side-scrolling Mario fun!

The game promises to bring us back to the original formula of the Mario games with Mario and his companions running around special kingdoms collecting all kinds of power-ups and gaining super powers.

With Wonder, Nintendo has added a bunch more abilities besides growing and using fire, and Mario and friends earn the ability to swim, fly, and even transform into different kinds of animals. We’re also introduced to the concept of the Wonder Seed, and it looks like these will be able to alter the environment completely in ways that players won’t be able to predict, from elongating Mario’s body, to suddenly summoning a wave of pipes from the ground.

With The Super Mario Bros. Movie being a huge success in the box office, now is the right time to get a new generation of kids hooked on Super Mario, and what better way to do that than to introduce a new game that sticks to the formula of the original Mario games—which the movie drew a lot of influence from.

If you ask me, it’s probably a great chance to introduce more power-up concepts and kingdoms that could appear in a future Mario film. Talk about brand synergy.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder launches for the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20.
