It is the first traditional side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. The player controls Mario, Luigi, and their friends as they attempt to stop Bowser, who plots to take over a new land known as the Flower Kingdom after using the magical Wonder Flower to fuse himself with the kingdom's castle. Development for Super Mario Bros. Wonder began in 2019, with director Shiro Mouri taking inspiration from the original Super Mario Bros. and producer Takashi Tezuka seeking to reinvent the 2D Mario experience and introduce a new location. The game became the fastest-selling Super Mario game, selling 4.3 million units in its first two weeks and reaching 13.44 million units by March 31, 2024. It received critical acclaim and was nominated for several awards, including the Golden Joystick Award for Game of the Year, The Game Award for Game of the Year and the British Academy Games Award for Best Game. Super Mario Bros. Similarly to previous Super Mario games, players guide their character to the end of a level while avoiding enemies, such as Goombas and Piranha Plants, and transporting through Warp Pipes. Each stage contains multiple collectible "Wonder Seeds". New power-ups include a fruit that transforms the player into an elephant, a flower that allows the player to create bubbles that capture enemies, and a mushroom that gives the player a drill hat that allows them to burrow into the ground or ceiling to evade enemies or bypass obstacles. Wonder introduces the Wonder Flower, which triggers bizarre effects such as pipes coming to life, hordes of enemies spawning, and character appearances and abilities changing. The effects end when a player collects a Wonder Seed or leaves the area of effect. A new feature allows players to equip badges, which are unlocked throughout the game and give different advantages to the player. When other online players are present nearby, defeated players become ghosts and are given a short window of time to revive themselves by flying toward another player or a standee placed by another player. Mario and his friends are invited to the neighboring Flower Kingdom by its ruler, Prince Florian, to see a demonstration of a Wonder Flower; great treasures of the Flower Kingdom that can warp reality. Bowser interrupts the ceremony and seizes the Wonder Flower, using its power to merge with Prince Florian's castle, turning himself into a giant flying fortress and imprisoning the citizens of the Flower Kingdom. As the gang work to save the captured Poplins, they realize that by gathering six Royal Seeds, which are considered precious treasures in the Flower Kingdom, they will grant access to Castle Bowser, as each time a Royal Seed is collected, it destroys one of the six Cloud Piranhas protecting Castle Bowser. After freeing the various regions of the Flower Kingdom from the control of Bowser Jr. and removing Bowser's defenses, Mario and friends confront Bowser on his flying castle, where he reveals his plan to use the Wonder Flowers' power to enslave the universe with rhythm.
