Nintendo announced its next Direct will be a variant focusing on Super Mario Bros Wonder. People can learn more about the game on August 31, 2023 at air at 7am PT/10am ET/4pm CET. The title was first revealed during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct. This is the new 2D-style Super Mario game set to debut in October 2023.
The placeholder is already present on YouTube for the event. We also know this will be one of the shorter Direct offshoots. It will only spend 15 minutes looking at the new game ahead of its debut. This should mean new gameplay footage and looks at what to expect from this installment.
As a reminder, the gimmick here is that there will be Wonder effects that changes how the stages and game will look. This means that we could see silhouette stages or things like moving pipes. There will also be some new power ups for characters to use. The one showcased in the June 2023 Nintendo Direct was Elephant Mario. However, another showed Mario turning into a spiked ball underwater to smash through things. Nintendo also confirmed that Daisy and Yoshi will be joining Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad as playable characters.
Super Mario Bros Wonder will come to the Nintendo Switch on October 20, 2023, and the Direct looking at it will air at 7am PT/10am ET/4pm CET on August 31, 2023.
