Boxed Super Mario Bros Wonder sales beat those of Spider-Man 2 in the UK last week, thereby overtaking the first spot on the sales chart.
Bowser isn't up to the tusk of wooing elephant Peach in this Super Mario Bros Wonder animation
11.10.2023 - 15:39 / eurogamer.net / Bros Wonder
Nintendo has shared a new promo for upcoming release Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and it is really quite charming.
The short video in question shows Bowser trying his best to woo Princess Peach with a single flower. She looks at him with a certain amount of scepticism, before both are distracted by the bouncy arrival of one of Super Mario Bros. Wonder's elephant power-ups. And, well, when one sees the opportunity to boost one's form into that of a trunk swinging, water spraying mammal, there really is only one thing for it.
Soon, Peach has ingested (?) the elephantine delectable and is transformed before Bowser's very eyes. He is shocked to say the least, staring at his once demure princess with an open mouth and wide eyes. But, you know what? Our spikey boy is into it. Just when it may seem that Peach — in her enlarged and now tailed form — is about to blast Bowser back to his castle with a swift burst of water, he presents her with an even bigger bunch of flowers. It is a plot twist I wasn't expecting, and it is really rather sweet.
There is not much longer to wait before we too can find out what it is like to stomp our way through Super Mario Bros. Wonder as an elephant (or a Drill). The game is set to release later this month, on 20th October. If you are at EGX this weekend, there will also be the chance to give it a little whirl there.
Our Donlan previewed Super Mario Bros. Wonder a little while ago, and was quite charmed by the whole thing. «I can't remember the last Mario game that made me laugh as much, or the last Mario game that made me question basic Mario lore, if such a thing exists,» he wrote.
«There are so many new ideas here, pretty much shaken into every stage like seasoning into a bag of popcorn… the game wants you to feel lost in an ever-shifting sea of gimmickry. It does. And it works.»

Why Did Nintendo Keep Mum On Super Mario Bros Wonder Actor?
There are many mysteries in the video game space that we’re not likely to get answered anytime soon. Then, there are the “curiosities” that honestly don’t make sense even WHEN someone in charge explains them. Case in point, Super Mario Bros Wonder was a landmark title for Nintendo both upon its announcement in June and its release last week. But not just because the game pushed the bounds of 2D platforming in unique ways but because there was a key change behind the scenes. Specifically, the longtime voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, was replaced. But despite that big departure, we didn’t find out who was the voice of Mario until MUCH later.
