About (Per Wikipedia):

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first traditional side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U (2012) and was released worldwide on October 20, 2023. The game received critical acclaim.

Gameplay

Super Mario Bros. Wonder features dynamic level design, with interactive level objects that can move or alter behavior within gameplay.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a side-scrolling platform game. As one of eight player characters—Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Nabbit and Yoshi—the player completes levels across the Flower Kingdom with assistance from its talking flower-like denizens. Similarly to previous Super Mario games, players guide their character to the end of a level while avoiding enemies, such as Goombas and Piranha Plants, and transporting through Warp Pipes. Each stage contains multiple collectible "Wonder Seeds".

New power-ups include a fruit that transforms the player into an elephant, a flower that allows the player to create bubbles that capture enemies, a mushroom that gives the player a drill hat, and the Wonder Flower, which triggers bizarre effects such as pipes coming to life, hordes of enemies spawning, and character appearances and abilities changing.

A new feature allows players to equip badges, which are unlocked throughout the game and give different perks. They are divided into three different types: Action Badges, which grant the player character an additional ability, Boost Badges, which give the player character an additional passive ability, and Expert Badges, which grant the player character an advanced skill.

The game supports local multiplayer for up to four players. It also has some online multiplayer functionality.

Plot
Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, and a few Toads are invited to visit a neighboring Kingdom called the Flower Kingdom, populated by creatures called "Poplins" and ruled by Prince Florian. While Florian shows off the castle's Wonder Flower, Bowser appears and steals the flower, which causes him to merge with Florian's castle. He also transforms the Poplins' homes into prison cells, trapping them. Mario and his friends decide to help Prince Florian stop Bowser and save the Flower Kingdom and they begin their expedition, with a few Yoshis and Nabbit tagging along.

As Mario, Prince Florian, and the gang work to collect the Wonder Seeds and save the captured Poplins, they realize that finding six Royal Seeds will help them gain access to Castle Bowser, which is protected by six Cloud Piranhas. While setting out to find the six Royal Seeds, the gang must go through Kamek's battleships, battle Bowser Jr., and work together with Poplins in order to collect all the Seeds.

After collecting all the Royal Seeds, the gang confronts Castle Bowser, who plans to use his Wonder power to conquer the universe with rhythm. After a long battle, the gang defeats Bowser, whose Castle form diminishes, and the Castle is brought back to its original state. Mario and his friends, along with Prince Florian and the Poplins celebrate the Kingdom being back to normal, while Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek suffer their defeat.
