The rumors were real. Today’s Nintendo Direct closed with the announcement of a new 2D Mario game, which is called Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The game will be releasing on the Switch on October 20th. You can see Nintendo’s official tweet about the matter down below.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder coming to Switch in October

Poor Sonic, can’t catch a break lol.
Sonic finally gets a new 2D platformer after years and year, and Mario’s already prepared to upstage him yet again.
And?
And… what, exactly?
Please tell me you’re not getting upset just because I made a half jokey comment about Mario upstaging Sonic lol.
Rest in pieces sonic superstars!!!
This was the one right here, also after so many years we finally got an actual peach and daisy playable in a 2d Mario game, also is blue toad a goomba in the thumbnail I been getting some Mario Odyssey vibes with some of the transformations.
Daisy finally escaped from Mario spin-off hell. Its like a living nightmare.
Wait, wasn’t the spiral of mediocrity sonic fall into the last years the worst nightmare of the sonic fandom?
What do you mean?
People acting like they can’t buy both Superstars and Wonder.
Why because they both looked so great because of the animation styles?
For real! As if both games don’t look killer
yes, the new mario looks killer…killer of hedgehogs!
Dr. Robotnik must be financing the new Mario, then?
If I had to only chose one though, I would go with Mario 10 times out of 10 😅
Super Mario LSD.
Right like I’m not even gonna pretend like I plan on not buying both of then
This fall is gonna be so good. Mario RPG, Mario Wonder, Sonic Superstars, and Spider-Man 2. I feel like a kid again.
Honestly, some people might not; at least, not during release windows. Things are tough out there now.
To be a little hopeful though, Sonic games go on sale a lot more frequently than Mario games do. People might opt for Mario first and then wait for Sonic to go 25% off or something.
I’m going to get both. 2D Sonic and Mario games both look fun
Pikmin 1, 2, 4
Mario Wonder, Sonic All Stard(why not call it “Sonic the Hedgehog 4?”)
Mario RPG,
They already had a Sonic 4, and it wasn’t good. The name was dumb too because Sonic and Knuckles deserves that title more.
Did I travel back in time to the 90s? I didn’t know Mario and Sonic still had to fight.
As I look at this comment section I just have one question: why can’t we (Mario and Sonic fans) be friends?
Mario’s fans tend to be friendly but sonic’s start to disrespect the former when they feel overshadowed so nowadays most of mario’s fandom are just sarcastic towards sonic…and ironically most of them cannot interpret sarcasm, lol.
That’s a shame
It’s great to see a new playable character make the cut for what looks like a mainline Mario title, by which I mean Daisy. Kinda hoping there will be more that we haven’t seen yet- looking at you, Wario and Waluigi.
Could potentially Mario games are notorious for having secret worlds and stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rosalina is in-game after beating the main campaign
