2023’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the perfect game to play with friends and family with lots of multiplayer options available, including some unique workarounds to allow friends and strangers to enjoy the game together if they choose. Though it is still not the type of online multiplayer that generally comes to mind, the ability to play with others throughout the world is a step in the right direction for Nintendo.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder released on October 20 2023, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. The 2D side-scrolling platformer brings a more traditional feel to the series, mixed in with some incredibly chaotic new features and power-ups. Like Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, the game includes multiplayer for up to four people in local co-op, with an unusual approach to online multiplayer gaming that feels somewhat reminiscent of Mario Kart multiplayer.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is breaking the mold of Mario games through its approach to multiplayer. With “Live Shadows” of other players around the world playing the game simultaneously, the new Mario experience incorporates some of Mario Kart’s ghost-like time trials against other racers, except with some added benefits of assisting each other by providing items, reviving fallen players, or to cheer each other on.
Long-distance friends with multiple Switch consoles and copies of the game are able to play Super Mario Bros. Wonder online in a private room with a couple of different options available. A private room lobby can hold up to 12 friends who can then break off into groups of up to four to enter levels together.
The online and local play can also be combined with two people per Nintendo Switch able to connect. Once in a level, the friends connected via the internet will be semi-translucent versions of their characters with their names listed above their heads, and they can play alongside each other. Though not able to touch directly, everyone within the same level can aid each other by giving items, helping bring characters back to life after they die, and more.
