Hot on the heels of the record-breaking live-action film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nintendo will be capitalizing on the success of the Super Mario franchise with yet another installment in the ongoing series—currently tallying 21 main titles and counting. Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which was announced during August’s Nintendo Direct ceremony, marks the first traditional side-scrolling Super Mario game since New Super Mario Bros. U in 2012.
As one of eight playable characters—Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Nabbit, and Yoshi—Super Mario Bros. Wonder players will find themselves in the Flower Kingdom, completing levels with assistance from its flower-like citizens. The game will launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on Oct. 20, 2023, but plenty of pre-order options are already available to the general public.
Let’s take a look at what’s included in the Super Mario Bros. Wonder pre-order packages from different retailers.
Amazon
You can pre-order Super Mario Bros. Wonder on Amazon. The Amazon pre-order does not offer any exclusive bonuses at this time.

You can pre-order Super Mario Bros. Wonder at Walmart, but the limited-time trading card set has now sold out.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model in Mario Red
To commemorate the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo also announced a Mario-themed Nintendo Switch OLED Model to represent its longtime mascot.
The Mario Red Edition will arrive in stores on Oct. 6, but it’s currently available to pre-order for $449.99. The system, the Joy-Con controllers, and the dock all sport the color of Mario, while the Nintendo Switch dock features a small silhouette of the Italian plumber.
