Nintendo adds Bellabel Park to Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 edition

Nintendo pushed Super Mario Bros. Wonder onto Switch 2 with a full expansion, not a simple patch. The new release, Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, adds a fresh Bellabel Park area in the Flower Kingdom, two large plazas of attractions, and new co-op and competitive play designed to keep one of the Switch era’s biggest Mario games in rotation.

The expanded version also widens the core play experience. Nintendo’s store listing says the update brings minigames, challenges, collectibles, and boss battles, while adding Rosalina and Co-Star Luma to the playable cast. It also introduces the Super Flower Pot power-up, which lets Mario transform into a flower form and throw flowers at enemies, along with Dual Badges that combine the effects of two badges at once.

The new content is not limited to side activities. Nintendo says newly added boss courses are scattered throughout the Flower Kingdom, and all seven Koopalings appear in the expanded release. Bellabel Park itself is built around two large plazas filled with attractions, including multiplayer modes that can support up to 12 players in some cases. Nintendo says GameShare can be used locally or online, letting players join certain multiplayer sessions even if they do not own the game.

That structure matters for how Nintendo manages its first-party catalog. Super Mario Bros. Wonder launched on Nintendo Switch in October 2023, and the Switch 2 edition gives the company a way to keep a flagship 2D Mario release relevant as the hardware line moves forward. Nintendo first announced the Switch 2 version in September 2025 as a Spring 2026 release, then set a March 26, 2026 launch date for the expanded edition.

The release is exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2, but Nintendo says owners of the original Switch version can buy an upgrade pack to access the new edition. In the U.S., Nintendo’s store lists the game at $79.99, signaling a premium expanded release rather than a small content drop. For Nintendo’s teams, Bellabel Park turns a familiar title into a cross-generation product with a social hook, giving players a reason to return without asking them to leave the original game behind.
