This week's episode is full of hidden surprises and wonders as we talk about the new Mario game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a 2023 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 in 2012. The player controls Mario and friends as they attempt to stop Bowser, who plots to take over a new land known as the Flower Kingdom after using the magical Wonder Flower to fuse himself with the kingdom's castle.
Correction: During the discussion, Nicky and Eric talk about the secret stage, 'The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon'. Eric is under the impression that he has played the stage when he had not yet. It is indeed one of the hardest stages ever.
