Overview
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a 2023 platform game by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first side-scrolling Super Mario platform game since New Super Mario Bros. U (2012). The player controls one of several Mario characters as they attempt to stop Bowser, who plots to take over a new land known as the Flower Kingdom after using the magical Wonder Flower to fuse himself with the kingdom's castle.
Development for Super Mario Bros. Wonder began in 2019, with director Shiro Mouri taking inspiration from the original Super Mario Bros. and producer Takashi Tezuka seeking to reinvent the 2D Mario experience and introduce a new location. The game became the fastest-selling Super Mario game, selling over 17 million copies by 2026. It was nominated for several awards, including the Golden Joystick Award for Game of the Year, The Game Award for Game of the Year, and the British Academy Games Award for Best Game. A Nintendo Switch 2 version, Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park, was released on March 26, 2026.
