U coming out just like a year or so before tropical freeze kind of underscored the "elite-ness".
Super Mario Bros Wonder announced (2D Mario game), launching October 20
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
I actually strongly disagree with that my opinion on that is a less popular one. I have serious issues with Tropical Freeze but that's for another thread.
It says this for any game you need to buy NSO to play online that also includes a link to NSO on the store in it. For example, Legends Arceus says it as well and has no MTX to speak of.
Honestly, I just rewatched this trailer and despite all the talk about Zelda, Baldur's Gate3, Spidey 2 and Starfield…this is my sleeper pick for GotY.
It reminds me so much of Super Mario World in the best ways. Nintendo honestly can't be touched as a developer.

Ah Portuguese. Not sure if it implies Elephant Mario is exclusive seems still vague.
OP
OP
Yeah this seems to imply elephant is mario exclusive.
I think every transformation be tied to an Alice in wonderland animal. So what speculation do people have?
It's a misreading. In the first caption Mario is treated as the subject not because there's anything unique but because he's the default player character. The second caption just says everyone can use new powerups but doesn't imply that they are anything different. We've already seen a new powerup used by multiple characters in the hat glider.
I'm probably reading far too much into it, but that wording "characters in the series like…" stood out to me. Almost like it could be leaving out some characters…
But again, that's probably just me coping because I really want Rosalina to be in this
I, for one, enjoy the overworld theme… The soft, saccharine vibes really make you feel like you're playing a paper towel commercial!
For real, though — even if I end up not vibing with the music, it still has a LOT more personality than NSMB's trite, tired tracks.
Gotta say, though, I really hope Wonder decides to ditch the whole "single overworld theme, single underground theme, etc." shit, which, much like lives, seems to have remained a staple of 2D Mario purely for the sake of tradition. If there isn't more song variety in Wonder, its tunes will get old fast, no matter how charming.
In any case, between this and Mario Odyssey, it's clear that Nintendo isn't afraid to shake up the series' identity on occasion. They've come a long way in that regard!
I love that Nintendo has that voucher/discount system and I already have this game and Super Mario RPG waiting to be redeemed and loaded.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the selling points of this game ends up being that it has a large roster of playable characters, both as a base roster and as unlockables. Like, on par with your typical Mario Party in terms of character options.
Why would "characters in the series" mean it's leaving out characters?
I think there will be at least three unlockable characters, with one that is brand new to the series(and I do not think it's that Wiggler Prince).
It's all in English on the US site too - https://supermariobroswonder.nintendo.com/.
The official English versions are:
I don't think the second sentence is supposed to suggest the Elephant powerup is Mario-exclusive, and I don't think the first is suggesting they all have unique powerups.
I think it's noteworthy that (at least from what I could find in a quick look) on other multiplayer Mario game websites they're pretty careful to not use phrases like "Elephant Mario" and they instead just use the name of the powerup itself. So I don't think the theory is without merit, but I also don't think there's enough there to suggest it's not just because they only showed Mario's elephant transformation in the trailer and they don't want to reveal anything new at all outside of the trailers. Does anyone know whether other websites have used "Elephant Mario"-like phrases in the past when referring to games where multiple characters can use the powerup?

In that order as two separate statements.

The fruit shown was specifically an elephant, so I think whichever character eats it will just turn into an elephant, but maybe with their own unique style. Sort of how Tanooki Luigi looked a bit more like a fox when using a leaf in 3D world, but still functioned the same. Especially if that fountain (which is made of elephant statues) has some sort of water spraying mechanic, which they'll all need to be able to do. Maybe something to do with watering flowers.
*Edit: I guess I should specify that I don't think they'll all turn into different animals, from eating the elephant fruit (hoping for lots of different animal fruits throughout the game). Just that maybe they'll all have a unique elephant shape and style like they've done in the past with the slightly different cats and tanookis for each character. Elephant Luigi looking ironically slender would be pretty funny.

I don't think it's implying that every character will have their own transformation, but rather that there will be multiple transformation items, of which the Elephant transformation is just one.
The next trailer will surely confirm it.

Going to ask this here and maybe there are other threads to better inquire that members could help me with. I have a 6 year old boy who loves Mario (especially Mario Kart and the new Mario movie) but the issue is that he lacks the use of his left hand due to having epilepsy surgery. He can get by on MK8 by turning on features like auto steering and auto accelerate but otherwise has a hard time playing video games. He has some grasping ability with the hand but any fine motor skills are just not there. We play games where I will use the left thumbstick/pad while he works the buttons on the right side. We are (along with his 4 year old brother) excited for Wonder and I'd like to be able to play together so I've started to look into accessible controllers but have not seen anything I think he can work yet. Anyone here know of something that may be of assistance for us?
accessibility controllers are super-cool but they get fuckin expensive fast
I assume you've already seen Hori's offering? Reminds me a lot of Xbox's adaptive controller, which is awesome. But at a glance, I'm unsure of how versatile it is regarding the shit you can plug into it (like if it's locked down to only be compatible with certain buttons/etc). In any case, keep us updated if you decide on something!
Edit: I've never been limited to a single hand before, but nonetheless there have been times where I kinda like the idea of a little foot pedal for a button… not even as like an accessibility thing, but just as an alternative option. Frees up a pizza hand, you know? Just seems like a good idea in general
