Nintendo has released a short cartoon promoting Super Mario Bros Wonder, in which Princess Peach turns into an elephant in front of Bowser.
The video appears to be one of a series of short cartoons set to be released by Nintendo of Japan as the game’s release approaches.
In the short, Peach is playing with some butterflies when Bowser appears and offers her a flower.
An uninterested Peach is distracted when an Elephant Fruit – a new power-up from Super Mario Bros Wonder – bounces past her.
Peach grabs the power-up and is instantly transformed into Elephant Peach, stunning Bowser, who then reacts in a humorous manner.
The video can be seen below:

Set for release on October 20, Super Mario Bros Wonder is the first 2D Mario game since New Super Mario Bros U in 2012.
The game appears to introduce the most significant changes to the classic formula since the 1990s, with a new art style and a ‘Wonder’ mechanic which transforms stages in surprising ways.
In VGC’s recent Super Mario Bros Wonder hands-on preview, we said the game “feels like a modern Super Mario World”.
“Wonder is definitely looking like an incredibly promising step forward for the Mario Bros series,” we wrote. “Can it live up to Mario’s heyday? There’s only little over a week left until you’ll get to find out for yourself.”

Nintendo has done the impossible with Super Mario Bros. Wonder, staying faithful to a tried and true formula while making the most iconic 2D platformer feel like a new and exciting experience.
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.
Nintendo doesn’t want its sassy flowers to say “fuck,” apparently. In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the world is filled with small talking flowers that cheer the player on and shout out all kinds of largely family-friendly quips. Yet on Oct. 16, a modder shared a video of one of the adorable characters saying “fuck” on X. Like the greatest of stars, the profane flower shone brightly, but briefly in the light.

Super Mario Bros Wonder is out now, and gamers have been enjoying much of what the game offers. There was a bit of a worry early on that things might be “too wacky” or “too weird” for their tastes, but it soon became clear that the game is a fountain of creativity that many gamers are definitely going to try and replicate in one form or another.

The wait is nearly over. Super Mario Bros Wonder is almost here, and fans can’t wait to play it for various reasons. Easily, one of the biggest reasons is that the game is one of the highest-rated titles of 2023, and people want to see how great it is compared to what the critics say. But another reason gamers are excited about it is that players can use numerous new power-ups and abilities and want to try them out in spades.
