In many ways,Super Mario Bros. Wonderis looking to be a new chapter for the series. Not only is there a new voice actor for Mario and Luigi —Kevin Afghani— but this is also the first traditional 2D Mario title sinceNew Super Mario Bros Uin 2012. So, now that the game is out, are there any surprises hiding underneath its surface?
Super Mario Bros.Wonderlets players control Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Nabbit, and Yoshi. But, could there be some unlockable characters from the series’ rich tapestry of games? How about Rosalina fromSuper Mario Galaxy?
Is Rosalina inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder?
No, you can’t unlock Rosalina inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. Prior to the game’s release, rumors surfaced that the cosmic princess would appear as a secret, unlockable character. But now that the game’s out, we can officially confirm Rosalina isnotaffiliated with this latest title.
I find this to be rather interesting, given her extreme presence in the series lately. She was last seen inMario + Rabbids Sparks of HopeandMario Strikers Battle Leaguein 2022, and I fondly recall playing her inSuper Mario 3D Worldwhen the Nintendo Switch port was released in 2021. I suppose the hardcore Rosalina stans will have to hold out hope that Nintendo either adds the beloved character toWonderin a set of post-launch DLC. Or if not that, hopefully she’ll appear in the next mainlineMariogame instead.
