What are Wonder Seeds in Super Mario Bros Wonder?

Wonder Seeds are a new addition to the Mario series and add a colorful and whimsical feel to Super Mario Bros. Wonder. These collectibles are found throughout the various levels and may or may not be present when Mario collects the Wonder Flower that warps the world. Unfortunately, we don't know too much about Wonder Seeds, but we can't wait to discover exactly what they do.

Is Super Mario Bros Wonder Co-op?

Like other 2D Marios, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is co-op game with 4-player multiplayer. Players can control Mario, Luigi, and other characters as they work together to clear the various levels and stop whatever evil scheme Bowser has come up with. I expect characters will have slightly different playstyles, so don't be afraid to experiment when playing with friends.

All Playable Super Mario Bros Wonder Characters

The iconic cast of 2D Mario games returns, but with a twist! Daisy joins the roster and doubles the princess power, and Yoshi may be playable as well. Characters seem to have more personality than ever, with my favorite example being Luigi getting scared in the dark. Part of me hopes we get more characters, especially with the announced Super Mario RPG. Here are the playable characters we know of in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

• Mario
• Luigi
• Peach
• Daisy
• Yellow Toad
