When Can You Start Playing Mario Wonder?

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first new entry in the 2D sidescrolling series in over ten years, with the last one being New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U in 2012. Mario's adventure is trippier than ever, thanks to including a new item called a Wonder Flower, which creates visual effects in the level and transforms the world around players right before their eyes. There are also helpful Badges to collect and equip that can give players a leg-up for traversal and new Power-ups, such as the Elephant Fruit, Drill Mushroom, and Bubble Flower.
