Nintendo has confirmed the full playable roster for Super Mario Bros.
Wonder, the side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EPD for Nintendo Switch.
Released on October 20, 2023 for both retail and digital purchase via the Nintendo eShop, Wonder continues Nintendo's modern return to classic 2D Mario gameplay with new mechanics and a colorful visual style showcased during a dedicated Super Mario Bros.
Wonder Direct broadcast and in an accompanying press release.
The character select screen shown during the Direct identifies the characters available in the main story.
Players can choose from a mix of familiar faces and new options: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Toadette, Yoshi, Red Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, Blue Yoshi, and Nabbit.
These choices let players tailor the experience visually while retaining the core platforming mechanics that define the series.
Nintendo clarified how these characters differ in accessibility.
In journalistic terms: Nintendo said that Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Blue Toad, Yellow Toad and Toadette share the same basic controls and handling, allowing players to select a favorite or rotate characters without gameplay penalties.
The company also confirmed that Nabbit and the four Yoshi variants are immune to enemy damage, positioning them as suitable options for players seeking a more relaxed or beginner-friendly run through the game's levels.
This confirmation follows Nintendo's pattern of offering multiple playable characters in recent 2D Mario releases while providing optional accessibility features.
