Super Mario Wonder fans love Elephant Peach but feel bad for Yoshi NintendoThe Super Mario Wonder Direct revealed it\u2019s not just Mario who will be able to transform into an Elephant form, and fans have a lot of thoughts on the new mechanic. Excitement for Super Mario Wonder has grown following a Nintendo Direct focused on the upcoming game. Wonder is the first brand-new traditional 2D Mario game in over a decade, and it\u2019s adding quite a bit to the series. One of these features is the new Elephant power-up. The game\u2019s initial reveal showed Mario using this ability, but the Direct showed he won\u2019t be the only one transforming. This has delighted fans, but another elephant-related mechanic has players concerned for Yoshi\u2019s well-being. Mario fans already love Princess Peach\u2019s elephant form The Super Mario Wonder Direct gave us a first look at elephant versions of Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, and Toadette. While Yoshi and Nabbit are also playable, these characters don\u2019t take damage and, as a trade-off, can\u2019t transform. Overall, fans seem delighted by these new designs. Just hours after the Direct, there was already fan art of Elephant Peach. Mario x Peach but they’re goofy elephants \u2764\ufe0f\ud83e\ude77 https:\/\/t.co\/xoLqmLKP5w pic.twitter.com\/3p34aaTJss \u2014 idk i’m just here (@akiiame) August 31, 2023 Some questioned why Peach and Daisy don\u2019t have hair while Mario and Luigi have their mustaches, but others thought it was the right choice. However, one character in particular got the short end of the stick in this Direct. In addition to not getting an Elephant form, Yoshi can be used as a mount in Super Mario Wonder. If someone is playing as Yoshi, other players are able to jump onto their back \u2013 even while transformed. This is led to quite a strong reaction from fans either questioning how Yoshi is able to carry around an elephant or just feeling sorry for the little guy. One fan even joked that this mechanic should be part of the next Super Smash Bros. game. Some fans are still not sold on the Elephant forms, which do look a bit goofy. Still, Mario games have long had strange power-ups, from turning the eponymous plumber into a flying tanuki to transforming him into a cat. Of course, fans will certainly miss Mario voice actor Charles Martinet, who Nintendo announced is stepping away from his roles starting with this game. All in all though, Super Mario Wonder appears to be a strong entry in the vast franchise thanks to innovations like Elephant forms others that shake up the basic formula.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
