Fans of 2D Mario games will be itching to know if Super Mario Bros. Wonder will feature multiplayer and co-op. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first original 2D Mario to come to the Nintendo Switch after its first release in 2017, whilst rumours for Nintendo’s next console continue to circulate.

Often, the best way to enjoy a new Mario game is to play the game with some pals. That’s why we have outlined below whether or not multiplayer is being featured in Mario’s next adventure, as well as if you can play couch co-op too.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder will have online features. You won’t be able to play through levels with your pals, but there will be hub-like rooms you can make where you can see what levels your friends are currently completing. If you wish to do the same level, you will appear as a ghost in their world, allowing you to revive them or give them items.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder will feature couch co-op so you can run through levels with your pals, playing as one of the many characters on offer. Couch co-op is available for up to four players on the same console.

Although it is a shame there won’t be any online multiplayer in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it still offers some fun possibilities and I can’t wait to jump in with a pal to take down Bowser for the first time in years.

That is it for our Super Mario Bros. Wonder multiplayer guide. For more, head to our Mario homepage for articles like when we can finally play Super Mario Bros. Wonder or our Mario vs. Donkey Kong release date guide.
