An in-depth look at <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/nintendo-direct/2023/06/21/super-mario-bros-wonder-is-the-next-2d-mario-platformer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Mario Bros. Wonder</a> will take place in a dedicated Nintendo Direct this week. The presentation is set to air on August 31.
Beginning at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET the Direct will run for about 15 minutes and, hopefully, peel the curtain back on Wonder’s new features and power-ups. The game’s biggest change centers on the Wonder Flower, which transforms stages into trippy versions of themselves laden with mind-bending effects. More than anything, however, we’re excited to see more of Mario’s new elephant transformation as well as the elephant versions of his friends.
Join us for an in-depth look at Mario’s latest 2D side-scrolling adventure in the livestreamed Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct!

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the next 2D sidescroller in the legendary franchise. Mario is joined by Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and Daisy in an adventure that can be enjoyed with up to four players. The game is slated to launch on Switch on October 20. Most recently, we learned that Mario’s long-time voice actor, Charles Martinet, has retired from the role and does not voice Mario in Wonder.
