After more than a decade since the last 2D platformer in the series, Mario finally gets back to his roots in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The dazzling new entry from Nintendo is well worth the wait, with our review saying, “Through tried-and-true platforming mechanics mixed with a handful of new power-ups and the central Wonder Effect, Mario Wonder is a delightful platformer imbued with Nintendo’s signature charm.”
With that in mind, here’s what you need to know about getting started with Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder launches on October 20, but some players in the United States may be able to dive in the night before depending on their location.
