Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the beginning of a “new phase” for the plumbing’s side-scrolling journeys, according to Nintendo personnel.

In a meeting with Game Informer, the group behind Mario’s most recent reinvention was hopeful concerning the collection’ future, however they aren’t fairly all set to dedicate to anything strong for the future. “I believe that we have transitioned from the New Super Mario Bros. series into a new phase,” manufacturer Takashi Tezuka claimed, “but at this point, we have no idea what the next game style will be.” 

In 2006, after a decade-long respite, Nintendo went back to the collection’ 2D origins with New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. The success of that platformer led the way for 3 uber-successful follows up – New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and New Super Mario Bros. U. Along with the calling conventions, the games themselves probably went stale, which could be the factor it’s been 11 years because Mario’s last 2D prance.

Art supervisor Masanobu Sato claims that Wonder may simply kick-start the future generation of Mushroom Kingdom jump-a-thons, similarly that New Super Mario Bros. did: “what we do know is that Super Mario Bros. Wonder has set a bigger stage for adventures for Mario and friends.” 

Tezuka recognizes the long haul in between brand-new 2D journeys, though – Mario Maker apart. “There’s been quite a bit of time since the last installment in the New Super Mario Bros. franchise,” Tezuka claimed, “but when we’re creating another iteration in the series, we understand that we have to go above and beyond the last title.”

From what we’ve seen so far, Super Mario Bros. Wonder does appear to be going “above and beyond.” Its asynchronous multiplayer attributes emulate the best bits from Elden Ring, it’s ultimately giving Daisy fans the respect we deserve, and we can currently stomp around the Kingdoms as hulking elephants – something I never ever understood I required.

Our Super Mario Bros. Wonder preview said it “captures the fun of my favorite 17-year-old Nintendo platformer.”
