Super Mario Bros. Wonder adds a new visual flourish to Question Blocks that was never present in the series before.

While some games, such as Super Mario World, have featured Question Blocks where the question mark was scrolling sideways, and always aligned with the next block if those were placed in a horizontal row, the new element that Super Mario Bros. Wonder introduces is making the question marks separate from the blocks, moving across the entire row at once.

This causes the movement to be much smoother than before as now the question marks are sliding across the edges of the blocks without any separation.

Top: Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope contains an unused image of Rosalina playing the guitar.

Bottom: this appears to be a redrawn version of concept art for Super Mario Odyssey that envisioned Rosalina as a guitarist.

For the first time since she was introduced 34 years ago…

Princess Daisy is a playable character in a mainline mario title.

I cannot articulate the genuine whimsy I felt seeing the Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer.

Like... The Mario franchise has such a weird and wacky world as it is, but they somehow managed to make the game feel super trippy and bonkers even for the Mario franchise.

It's absolutely absurd and I'm going to detonate with excitement before October gets here.

Well then.

Princess Daisy is a playable character in a mainline mario title.

EDIT: Just as a heads up, there are people in the notes and reblogs mentioning a thing called “rule 34” and telling folks to Google it.

If you aren't aware, looking it up leads to porn. Don’t look it up unless your okay with seeing that kind of thing.

(Can’t believe I’m having to say this on a post about mario.)

Bowser : why is Green Mario here ?? I didn't kidnap anyone this week ! Won't you pests leave me alone ?? You have a death wish or what, you wimpy little-

Luigi, scruffed by the collar : ah, I'm-I'm-I'm here for the job offer actually.

Bowser : what job offer ??

Luigi : *holds up an ad for a croupier job*

Kamek : that tracks, Sire, the casino is hiring these days.

Bowser : You ?? A dealer in MY casino ?? Since when do you that ??

Luigi, shrugging : it's-a been a while but I used to do that as a side job during my studies. I saw the ad, got nostalgic, and-

Bowser : Pah !! As if I would hire you ! I'm NOT gonna let you turn my casino into a joke ! Bet you can't even hold a deck properly !

Luigi, glaring : bet I can beat you at any card game.

Bowser, too vexed to think : DEAL !

*

Bowser, 2 hours later : ...what just happened.

Kamek : you promised him the job if he beat you, Your Baffledness.

Bowser : HOW IS HE THAT GOOD ?? He must have cheated!! I can't give him the job !!

Kamek : Sire, you gave your word-!

Bowser, grinning devilishly : he wants to work for me ? Oh, is he gonna love his new job...
