Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a stylish and striking Mario evolution

Update 26/10: We corrected an error which incorrectly stated that all player spirits are recorded, which is not the case. VGC regrets the error.

Inventive and full of heart, with a tight design and striking presentation, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is undoubtedly the plumber’s most memorable 2D outing since the 1990s.

  • Stuffed full of ideas and surprises
  • Striking presentation
  • Online enhances the experience
  • Enough secrets and challenge for hardcore fans
  • We wish there was more
