Mario Wonder’s Switch 2 Edition Launches Thursday With New Park, Koopalings and Challenge Mode

Reviewers say the add-on best suits families or local groups.

Overview

  • Critics published reviews Wednesday ahead of the March 26 launch on Switch 2, setting expectations for Nintendo’s “Meetup in Bellabel Park” upgrade.
  • Bellabel Park adds 23 multiplayer “Attractions,” with some modes supporting up to 12 players online or over local wireless and 17 games built for four-player local play.
  • Online support is thin, with only six Attractions available over the internet and no matchmaking, which leaves many players dependent on friends to join.
  • For solo players, the package includes seven new Koopaling boss stages hidden in existing courses and a Toad Brigade Training Camp with about 74 remixed challenges.
  • Existing owners can upgrade for $19.99, some reports list an $80 bundle, and Wednesday’s 1.2.0 patch added Thai support and tweaked Switch 2 park decorations, with reviewers also noting sharper visuals on the new hardware.
