Nintendo is gearing up for the arrival of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's not just a single new game – but an upgraded version that includes a host of exciting features and improvements.
The revamped edition, aptly titled Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, is set to launch on March 26. As part of the upgrade, players who own the original Switch version will be able to purchase an enhancement pack for $20, which promises to bring a fresh wave of content and gameplay enhancements.
Among the key new features, cooperative play takes center stage. For the first time in the series, players can team up with friends to tackle challenges in multiplayer modes, including coin collection competitions. A dedicated area called Bellabel Park will serve as the hub for these multiplayer activities, offering a range of local versus modes, co-op play, and even support for GameShare-enabled online multiplayer.
The revamped game also includes 17 new cooperative and versus modes, allowing players to enjoy seamless local multiplayer experiences on the same console or via wireless connectivity. The Game Room Plaza supports up to six players locally and online, with an impressive local wireless feature that lets up to eight people join in on the fun.
Beyond multiplayer excitement, Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition also brings new content to the main game itself. Players will get access to a host of fresh challenges, including boss courses featuring all seven Koopalings and even the opportunity to play as Rosalina for the first time. A new 'Luma' assist feature allows a second player to control Luma, helping out their main player with enemy defeats and coin collection.
To make the game more accessible to all players, Nintendo is also introducing an Assist Mode that enables quick recoveries from falls and protects against damage. This clever system ensures that no one gets left behind – even if they're struggling a bit.
The upgrade will also bring three brand-new amiibo figures: Elephant Mario, Poplin & Prince Florian, and Captain Toad & Talking Flower, which can be obtained on the same day as the upgraded edition's release.
Interestingly, Nintendo has also announced that it will begin selling a battery-powered version of the Talking Flower from Super Mario Bros. Wonder – called the 'Talking Flower', – starting March 12. This adorable device talks to you every couple of hours, reminding you of your surroundings and even playing music. With support for 11 languages, this little gadget has all the makings of an endearing companion.
Overall, Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Nintendo Switch 2 promises to deliver a fresh wave of gameplay excitement and accessibility, making it an exciting addition to the beloved Mario franchise.
