About
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a new 2D mainline entry in the Super Mario Bros. franchise released in October of 2023. Following its reveal in a June 2023 Nintendo Direct, it became a subject of discussion on the internet.
History
On June 21st, 2023, Nintendo streamed a Nintendo Direct presentation. The last game shown during the Direct that was shown was a new 2D platform called Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which not only has a new artstyle compared to its previous 2D games, but is also the first mainline game where Princess Daisy is playable (shown below).
The game will feature a brand new power-up called the Wonder Flower, which changes the mechanics of the level or transforms the player via the Wonder Effect. It will also feature a 4-player co-up like the previous 2D games. It marks the first 2D Super Mario game since Super Mario Land 2 not to use the New Super Mario Bros. moniker.
Online Presence
Immediately after the Direct ended, the game became a trending topic online. Many users posted fan art related to the elements shown in the trailer. For example, on June 23rd, 2023, Twitter user @Suyasuyabi427[1] posted a poster for the game, gaining over 3,600 retweets and 17,000 likes in one week (shown below, left). On the 22nd, user @brojorgedraws[2] posted art emphasizing Princess Daisy's strength, gaining over 640 retweets and 3,500 likes in one week (shown below, right).

That Goomba Looks So Serene
That Goomba Looks So Serene is a catchphrase used in a series of memes based on a clip of Elephant Mario kicking a sleeping Goomba in a clip from the end of the direct. In the memes, screaming sounds and other sound effects are added as Goomba flies into the sky.
