Nintendo Announces Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 Edition Release Date, Plus Elephant Mario and Captain Toad Amiibo

Nintendo has just confirmed a release date for Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s expanded Switch 2 Edition, which will include a suite of new minigames and the ability to play as Rosalina, ahead of her big screen debut in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park, to give its full name, will arrive on March 26. As that extremely lengthy title suggests, the upgraded version of Nintendo’s 2023 platformer includes the additional Bellabel Park area to explore, which comes stuffed with extra activities.

The Switch 2 Edition will be available to purchase separately, or existing Switch owners of the game can alternatively purchase an upgrade pack which costs $19.99.

#SuperMarioBrosWonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park arrives March 26!

Look forward to new boss courses with all 7 Koopalings, two new playable characters, Rosalina, and Co-Star Luma, and more!

Bellabel Park’s Local Multiplayer Plaza features 17 new co-op or versus minigames, with support for up to four local players (and yes, your pals can join even if they don’t have the game, via GameShare). Game Room Plaza, meanwhile, features six minigames for either local or online play — with the latter option supporting up to 12 players.

A third area, Camp Central, features the adorable Captain Toad and his Toad Brigade, who set challenges based on existing courses. Complete them all and you’ll become an elite Toad Brigade explorer yourself. Lastly, the Koopalings are also back — having stolen treasure from Bellabel Park, you’ll need to search through the game’s levels and defeat them.

Helpful additions to the game include Co-Star Luma, who offers a way for a second player to join in as an assist character, while Assist Mode lets you explore the game without fear of damage or falling down a pit. Handy!

Three new amiibo figurines will launch alongside the game on March 26: Elephant Mario, Poplin & Prince Florian, and Captain Toad & Talking Flower. Yes, Captain Toad has a dedicated amiibo figurine at last — and quite right too.

Speaking of Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s chatty/annoying Talking Flower, Nintendo is continuing its plans to launch a real-life Talking Flower desk accessory. Available on March 12 for $34.99, this thing will spout out random phrases “roughly twice every hour” or when prompted with a button press. Holding down its button will mute it “for a while.” I have no idea why this exists.

Brighten your day with Talking Flower, straight out of Super Mario Bros. Wonder!

This little character will spontaneously speak throughout the day sharing quips, words of encouragement, and more.

Talking Flower launches March 12.
