game news This new transformation in the upcoming Mario video game is making some fans scream
The announcement of Super Mario Bros. Wonder made many people happy. Still, one element of this famous trailer has fans terrified. You guessed it, we’re obviously talking about Mario’s new power-up and the reactions have been mixed.
The June 21st Nintendo Direct was packed with announcements about Mario games. Between the new wave of Mario Kart tracks, the Mario RPG remake, the new Princess Peach game or even the Luigi’s Mansion 2 remaster, fans of the mustachioed plumber didn’t know where to turn. Among all the announcements, however, one really stood out: that of Super Mario Bros. Wonder at the very end of the Nintendo Direct. With this title, the video game mascot returns to 2D, doing away with the “NEW” formula that the series had adopted since the 2006 episode on DS. In addition, we notice a new, very nice artistic direction and a Mario that now has the most polished facial expressions. You should know that it has been more than 10 years since a 2D Mario game was released, most recently the Opus for Wii U in 2012.
This Super Mario Bros. Wonder also took the opportunity to reveal some of its new features. In addition to the great regular players Mario, Luigi, Toad and Peach, Daisy now joins the many playable characters. It will also be possible to pick a flower that will bring great changes to the environment. Finally, Mario has a new transformation, he can now take the form of an elephant! This missed the reaction of half coward, half grape fanatics to this change in our mustachioed plumber.
Mario elephant makes headlines
Fans were instantly smitten with the plumber’s new transformation. On Twitter, internet user RubberRoss says he feels “uncomfortable” in front of this Mario elephant. Other netizens find the transformation “too weird” or even “terrible to look at.” Conversely, some Plumber fans took the change with humour: “Hey Mario elephant, it’s Chad Mario!” exclaimed one surfer on Twitter. Meanwhile, another fan pointed out an important fact that no one had noticed, saying, “Peach and Daisy are playable in the game, so technically they can transform into elephants too.”
Anyhow, we realize that there are fans who are absolutely won over by this new transformation of Mario. “P***** I love the Mario elephant look!” claims one user on Twitter. Fans who quickly created many works of art. You can already find plenty of them on the internet. In any case, at JV we love this Mario elephant. We even came up with a nickname for him: Babario! do you have the referee As a reminder, Super Mario Bros Wonder will be released on October 20, 2023 for Nintendo Switch.
