Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the new title in the long line of 2D Super Mario Bros. games. And this new entry appears to have some of the most unique graphics and animations of any Mario experience we’ve had yet.
The aesthetic is as colorful and fun as you’d expect from a Mario game. And totally over the top, if we’re being honest.

There are so many fun things in this new world like hand sliding on rails, changing into different shapes and characters, and entirely transforming your surroundings. It all looks like so much fun.
And of course, the really interesting new mechanic – the Wonder Seeds, which transforms an already colorful and exciting world into something even more stimulating.
In this new Super Mario Bros. title, you will be able to play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and more. And the game offers solo or up to four player local co-op game play in this exciting new world.
Surely an easy future entry in our list of the best Mario multiplayer games to play with your friends.
