It also comes at a time when a certain rival hedgehog is making a return to 2D scrolling visuals. With luscious backdrops and extravagant visual effects, it looks to be an aesthetic step beyond the clean lines of the New Super Mario series, and its turbo-charged nostalgia seems well timed to cash in on the success of the Super Mario movie. Local four-player co-op is another welcome feature. Players will also be able to control Princess Peach, Princess Daisy and Yoshi as well as Mario who is now able to turn into an elephant.
Ostensibly, it looks like a modernised take on the classic Super Nintendo-era games, with its bright, brash landscape, familiar Koopa enemies, and green pipes, but the game is introducing a new Wonder Flower, which, when touched, causes changes in the game world, including pipes coming alive and wriggling around and enemies bombarding the screen or mutating into new forms. Due for release on Switch on 20 October, Wonder is being billed as “the next evolution of 2D side-scrolling”.
