2023 has been an incredible year for games, but none can quite match the joy that Super Mario Bros. Wonder can deliver. It's the most inventive Mario platformer yet, with Mario's latest adventure capab💦le of continually gifting you unexpected delights.

There's a reason why Super Mario Bros. Wo🔥nder is sitting at a whopping 92 on Metacritic right now and received 4.5 stars from us here at GamesRadar+. We likened it to heading down to Disneyland, with Super Mario Bros. Wonder managing to capture the same sense of magic with its brilliant unpredictability. It's a sentiment so many of our peers agree with too, with IGN calling it the "true next step for 2D Mario platformers", VGC declaring it "inventive and full of heart", and Eurogamer stating it's an "endless cascade of ideas". 

That's all thanks to the Wonder Flowers that give the game its name - and how you'll feel 𝓡while playing. Find a Wonder Flower in any of Super Mario Bros. Wonder's numerous levels and you'll trigger a Wonder Effect, which have the power to completely change the level around you. Whether that's everyone bursting into song and dance or seeing Mario and friends transform into Goombas, Wonder Flowers have the potential to introduce brand-new game mechanics, so you'll never kno🉐w what to expect next.
