2023 is turning out to be a rather spectacular year for Mario fans. They were able to enjoy the Super Mario Bros. movie, which turned out to be a massive hit. The movie made over a billion dollars, breaking numerous records in the process. After the movie, fans now have the opportunity to play two major games focused on the famous plumber, namely Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG.
The first big release is Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a side-scrolling platform game that is set in the Flower Kingdom. Mario will have to face many new enemies, but the mustachioed plumber will not be alone in his adventure.
8 Mario
A Super Mario Bros. game would be incomplete without the titular protagonist, Mario. Most players will be using Mario to complete the game, which is hardly surprising given his popularity. Mario will have access to different kinds of powers, making his journey both easier and fun.
Mario will be able to tap into the power of the mushroom, which will enable him to turn into Super Mario. He also has an Elephant form that makes him almost unstoppable. However, this particular transformation is not limited to Mario, and several other characters can also utilize it.
7 Luigi
Luigi is the other half of the plumbing brothers. Unlike Mario, he is more shy and cowardly. But he can be brave when the situation calls for it. Due to his different personality, he perfectly complements his brother's bold and courageous nature. Luigi does not have any physical advantages over his brother this time, but they both share similar power-ups.
Luigi is the star of Luigi's Mansion, and with the most recent installment selling over ten million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful Switch games of all time. Fans of Luigi will be excited to complete the game with him.
6 Princess Peach
Princess Peach is among the most well-known Nintendo characters. She is the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and she is served by Toads. Most of the time, both Peach and her kingdom are under attack by Bowser, and it usually ends with her kidnapping.
However, things are different in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, as this time Peach will be able to explore the Flower Kingdom without fearing for life. Players who decide to choose Peach for their playthrough will not be disappointed, as she is also armed with various kinds of abilities, including a pink elephant.
5 Princess Daisy
For those who want more variety when it comes to female characters, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the perfect choice. Not only does it have Peach, but it also features Princess Daisy, the ruler of Sarasaland. She made her debut in the franchise all the way back in 1989, and over time, her popularity has increased. So Nintendo did not shy away from making her a part of its future projects.
Princess Daisy will be a playable character in the new Mario game, and it is possible that it may prove to be the gateway for more appearances in the franchise.
4 Toad
The adorable mushroom-headed character has been a part of almost all the Super Mario games, so his inclusion in Super Mario Bros. Wonder is hardly surprising. He is Peach's attendant, and it is his duty to protect the Mushroom Kingdom from any danger.
Toad is a playable character, and while he may not be as popular as Mario and Luigi, he still has a big fanbase. His cuteness, along with access to the elephant form, makes him a strong pick in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
3 Toadette
Toadette made her first appearance in 2003, and since then she has become a recurring character in the games. She is joyful and zealous and capable of lifting the mood in the room. She almost looks like any other Toad from the Mushroom Kingdom, but her clothes make her stand out.
Toadette wears a pink hat with two braids and a pink sleeveless dress. Her inclusion means that players will have more female options to pick from when they start their adventure.
2 Nabbit
​​​​​​
One of the surprising inclusions in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder roster is Nabbit. The name is a combination of the words "nab" and "rabbit." It suits the character, as he is a rabbit that steals things from other people, mainly the Toads. Nabbit debuted in New Super Mario Bros. U as an enemy that Mario had to chase. Eventually, Nabbit was added to the other games as a playable character.
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nabbit will be the go-to option for players who want a less challenging experience. The character will take no damage except from falling into a pit.
1 Yoshi
Yoshi is a dinosaur-esque creature who has served as the ally of Mario and Luigi in multiple games. He is a character that belongs to Yoshi's Island. The character is a part of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and players can choose one of the four different color variations. The available colors are red, yellow, green, and blue.
Yoshi is also invulnerable to most of the damage in the game, making it a solid choice for players who just want to enjoy the game. Yoshi can also eat objects and spit them at enemies. The character can even flutter jump to reach higher places. Like Nabbit, he only takes damage from falling, so players need to be careful about where they jump.
