I’m into how weirdSuper Mario Wonderis. Look, all the obvious jokes about shrooms have already been made, but this game looksstrangeon the whole. That’s a great thing, as 2DMariohas been formulaic throughout its history, so we could use a change-up. I’m just glad we’re presumably done with the “New” series: I mean, it’s not new anymore!
All that to say, I just really wanted to sharethis strange promotional tweet of Bowser being really into an elephant Peach(whichis also on YouTube as a short).

Peach speaks (kinda)
In the short 30-second promotional video, Bowser tries to impress Princess Peach with a bouquette of flowers (as he does), and an Elephant Fruit sidles up to the duo and turns Peach into an elephant. After his initial shock, Bowser immediately proposes (we assume) to Peach again. Classic Bowser, completely undeterred by pretty much anything in his life. I can’t wait to see him again inSuper Mario RPG: he’s been missed.
Interestingly enough, this is also a brief look at the voice of Peach, amid a major casting change for Mario. Just give us the full voice credits already, Nintendo! I want to see who has been replaced.
Super Mario Bros. Wonderis out on Switch on October 20, and I can’t wait to see what it can do. I have a feeling that what Nintendo has shown off so far is just scratching the surface, which would be the shot in the arm the 2D series needs right now.
