Stay up to date on Mario’s latest adventure.
It’s been a long time since the last side-scrolling Super Mario game, but it was worth the wait. Super Mario Bros. Wonder — the first mainline entry in the series since 2017’s Super Mario Odyssey — builds on the classic NES and SNES games with a hefty dose of strange new ideas that dramatically change up the experience. The game also caps off a big year for the plumber, following the debut of the Super Mario Bros. Movie and the Super Nintendo World theme park in Los Angeles, and it might just be the last major release ahead of the Switch’s incoming successor. Stay tuned for all of the latest on Wonder right here.

When a Super Mario game gets really good, you can’t help but move around in your seat. I find myself leaning into jumps as if it’ll give me an advantage and ducking my head down to avoid flying enemies. Even after a few decades of playing these games, it’s an instinct I can’t seem to avoid — and I was never sitting still while playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Nintendo Switch.
Wonder is the first brand-new side-scrolling Mario game in over a decade and the first mainline entry in the series since Super Mario Odyssey in 2017. It’s also one of the best titles in the franchise to date. Wonder manages to pull from classics like Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3, while firmly updating the formula with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wild new ideas. Wonder, it turns out, is a very fitting name. It’s a feeling that you’ll experience plenty of while playing.
