The series goes back to Mario’s side-scrolling platform heyday. Today’s Nintendo Direct stream gave us the best look at the game yet. Nintendo served-up 15 minutes of gameplay. All of our favourites are along for the ride in this new adventure where Bowser has invaded a brand new world called The Flower Kingdom. There’ll be new power ups to help you in the quest, and new enemies to defeat along the way.
