TORONTO — Super Mario is returning to his old stomping grounds for the first time in more than a decade.
"Super Mario Bros. Wonder," out this Friday for the Nintendo Switch gaming system, returns the iconic character to his iconic milieu. The result is a game that has all the hallmarks of a classic Super Mario adventure with enough innovation to freshen up the formula. As is custom in Super Mario titles, the adventure takes place over several distinct worlds, each with their own levels. These stages offer unique challenges but the goal is the same — to reach the end of the level in one piece and collect a"wonder seed." These can be used to unlock more levels and will be necessary to advance to a world's final stage.
The wonder flower's effects will treat the player to arguably the most creative, manic moments the Super Mario series has ever produced. Sometimes walls, floors and pipes come alive, either to help or hinder the player. Others may spawn a stampede of enemies or transform Mario into a monster and change his abilities.
