Super Mario Bros. Wonder will continue the trend of simultaneous multiplayer platforming in the world of Super Mario and this time it's rolling with quite possibly the biggest roster ever, made up of not only Mario and co, but also a number of extras.
Nintendo recently asked fans on social media what character they would be picking first in this new Switch exclusive when it arrives next month, so we thought we would ask a similar question to our community here on Nintendo Life, and add a poll while we're at it to see who might even end up being the most popular character.
Keep in mind the "Yoshis and Nabbit won't take damage, but they also don't transform with power-ups". Daisy is also properly playable. So tell us who you'll be playing as in Super Mario Bros. Wonder in our poll and why in the comments below.

Waluigi!
…Oh wait, nevermind
Been playing as Blue Toad ever since NSMBWii. So glad they kept my boy in for this game!
I voted Luigi.
Mario's brother need more screen time.
Probably daisy and Luigi! I love those two!
Peach! Surprised she's currently only at 4%
I'll be playing as whoever's left after my wife and 2 kids pick. My wife will likely start as Yoshi but after my kids keep jumping on her she'll probably switch to Nabbit though we'll try and talk her into Peach or Daisy. I'm guessing I'll be a Toad so maybe she'll be Toadette. 🤷♂️
If I happen to play solo I'd just play as Mario, it's his name on the box. Though Yoshi looks fun. If I need to play as Nabbit I just wouldn't play. 😝
I am definitely going to be using Daisy a lot. It’s so rare to have her in this kind of game. Can’t wait!
A bit of everyone probably!
Maybe not Nabbit though, no disrespect to him I just think I'll go for the Yoshis if I need help
I'll be rotating between them until I get bored and start picking at random. Probably only going to use the easy mode characters when I'm going back for collectables.
Alternating between Luigi and Daisy
Mario. All day. Every time.
Will probably alternate between them
I miss traditional Toad with the red dots and blue vest. I want to play as him!
But probably Peach, Blue Toad and Mario.
I'm a Blue Toad kind of guy.
Just hoping that Rosalina is playable.
She's my go-to character in 3D World, once she gets unlocked.
I thought Daisy would run away with this one! Guess not
I love that there’s a random button for a change! Usually I just take Mario but this’ll spice up the playthrough a little!
I do think Nabbit an underrated creation.
Blue Toad for life 💙
Blue Toad and yellow Toad? I think you mean Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold
The best Mario broth- STOP saying that! He isn't Green Mario! He is his own character!
Luigi may be my favorite but I have a history of alternating between Mario, Luigi, Peach and Daisy without much rhyme or reason in previous games. I'm sure I will be doing the same in Wonder
Toadette, one of my fav characters since Double Dash.
toadette and blue toad for me. i wish nabbit wasnt thekids mode tho
First run will be with mario, as always. Then not sure, toad maybe
(Probably Mario and the occasional random character as well).
I’ll be playing as that Mario guy with the new voice.
Luigi probably, but maybe Mario too, just for the curiosity of hearing “the new voice.”
I wonder who Martinet will play as. Must be odd for him to play a new Mario game without hearing his voice, maybe even refreshing (?)
I'm going Luigi, although I usually like to cycle thru everyone
Definitely Peach and/or Daisy. Maybe even somewhat more of the latter because Peach has already got some flagship spotlight back in SMB2 and 3D World (on top of having got her very own spinoff and soon finally getting ANOTHER), but Daisy apparently has her debut in this capacity here. :3 At this rate, we might even get to play a mainline Mario game with Rosali- wait, what do you mean she's unlockable in 3D World as well?!
Definitely Daisy!!
Yellow Toad—duh!
And Red Yoshi nobody chooses. So I'll do the honor of going for him. I did the same in Yoshi's Woolly World.
Daisy, definitely Daisy
Wish Yoshi was a normal character
I would've picked Yoshi if the good bois were regular characters but alas I'll "have to" settle for Peach or Luigi.
I pray to whatever gods exist in the Marioverse that I can play the game without ever seeing that annoying POS Daisy beyond the character select screen.
Considering there's no variation between the main characters, I'm going Daisy. I'd prefer Luigi if he had his signature jump style.
Toad! Oh wait... I see they only have blue Toad, Yellow toad, and green Mario. The least they could have done is included Captain Toad instead of two off brand Toads. I mean heckers, they included Toadette, who's great, and not pink Toad, so what's up with ignoring my man Toad.
Peach, always was my fave in SMB2 (US/EU) glad to see Daisy too though!
I would say Yoshi but it sounds like he's now the games easy mode which sucks for me. So I guess I'm going Luigi!
Of course I gotta pick Daisy. The best Princess for potentially the best ever 2D Mario game? Don't mind if I do
#BlueToadGang!
What a pointless question when all characters play the same! I don’t like Yoshi isn’t a power up, and that it makes the game even easier with him. Why do games degrade? Are we gonna make games so even IQ60 people can play them? Disgusting trend to adapt everything to everyone so we can all degrade as a society. Better if everyone can handle the same task than making smaller percentage of people challenged and more skilled. Money is changing games too much! Profit is more important than challenging gameplay!
As a younger sibling I gotta represent my boy Luigi.
The game's one flaw is that you can't play with a full squad of Luigis.
I'll play and finish the game as Mario and get all the collectibles with Daisy since she has never been in a main line Mario game.
Rosalina! Oh right they padded out the roster with color swapped Toads and Yoshi instead...
Maybe a bit boring, but Mario.
I mean, clearly Toadette but I might mix it up with a bit of Peach and Daisy. Peach and Daisy have much cuter elephant forms than Toadette who pretty much just looks like a chonker in elephant form.
Will be picking Daisy for the novelty and Blue Toad for the culture.
Daisy or toaddette for me!
Glad Daisy is high up on the ranking being equal to Luigi is shocking.
@theModestMouse Yeah i agree the Rosalina definitely should of made the cut.
Luigi of course, as he's usually my go-to, when he's an option.
Mario for the main campaign, Luigi for the post-game.
Daisy and Luigi of course
Why play Mario for the 35th time in a row
Luigi is my usual choice when given the option, whether or not he controls differently depending on the game.
I would play as a Yoshi, but it excludes you from using power ups that are likely needed to find all the secrets in each course.
I’ll be playing as the guy in red
Probably either one of the Todds.
It'll be Luigi. I always play Luigi, unless Wario's around. But since he's nowhere to be found, Luigi it is!
Mario. I mean not like it matters since they're all the same now unfortunately. Otherwise I would have alternated between Toad and Peach.
I would have done Yoshi first
If he wasn't easy mode. Mario all the way. I'd love to try ALL at some point obviously. Looking fwd to trying Toad as well.
Take a wild guess who I chose lol
Random. I hope there are multiple pools so you won't end up with Yoshi or Nabbit if you want a random character from the regular set of characters.
Team Shyguy here!!
Largely Daisy and Toadette but in general any time a Mario game gives me the option not to play as Mario I take it.
I'm just too much of a mario fan. I'll be playing as my boy the majestic jumping plumber himself.
Note that I would have absolutely made a Yoshi run if I could have had a Yoshi that plays normally, as in actually taking damage and not being locked behind super easy mode.
“Mario - 36 %”
It seems I’m not so weird after all.
@StarPoint Same here! I was annoyed he was not playable in the Switch version. Glad he is back for Wonder!
I'm going to go back and forth between Mario and Toadette.
Daisy and- a- Mario.
I might play as every character. But for sure I will be playing as Daisy.
I'll probably swap around a bit and try everyone. Though I feel like for the most amount of time, I'll be going with the sovereign of Sarasaland
My top two (Nabbit and Yoshi) are forced into Easy Mode, so I don't know? Mario, I guess?
The guy who has the balls to fight through a mansion full of ghosts to save his brother. Oh and not you, Toad. You were crying on a balcony and didn‘t bother turning on the light switch until said guy arrived.
I always play as Peach, when given the opportunity.
I'll first play as Mario or Luigi, then I want to pull out Daisy since it's her first mainline Mario platformer appearance.
Seeing as they all play the exact same (not counting Yoshi or nabbit who are for kids or people that are bad at games), it really doesn't matter.
@Ironcore
Red Yoshi?
I'd probably pick Daisy or Luigi.
Although I'd probably go with Yoshi if they weren't easy mode.
Marioooooooo
I hope there’s an option to exclude the Yoshi’s and Nabbit from the Random button. I’ll probably alternate between the “regular” characters
I voted for Blue Toad but I'll also play as the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man once the DLC has been released...
I'm gonna mod Charles Martinet's voice back in. So Charles Martinet Mario.
@AndroidiOS vote blue no matter who....
I am a simple gamer. When I play a Mario game, I play as Mario.
Daisy because she's finally playable in a main series Mario game. At least for the first playthrough.
@Jhena same here, would almost feel wrong starting the game with another character than Mario...
Luigi will be my main but I'll make sure to sometimes play Daisy, too.
Blue Toad.
Unless Ninji or Shy-Guy or some other obscure SMB2 DLC gets announced, which I'm not betting on happening.
Peach for sure
Depends on my mood - Halloween time release means I’ll be playing as Luigi at first (because Halloween is for Luigi’s Mansion) but I generally go with Blue Toad whenever he’s an option!
Probably Peach or Daisy. I can't help but wish the cast was more like Mario Kart, rather than just four Yoshis and two toads. At a minimum, it'd be nice to jump around as Waluigi, Wario, Rosalina, and Pauline.
Blaze.. I mean Daisy
Mmh... I will be playing as jup you clicked on it, lol mario
Daisy, she owns. but i'll alternate between a bunch probably.
I understood that all characters plays the same, with the same abilities…. But In that video it seems Peach can glide a little bit while falling as always… maybe is only my imagination?
Daisy has always been my go-to character ever since she became playable. Looking forward to Wonder being her turn to save the kingdom.
Luigi and maybe Rosalina if she's unlockable
Blue Toad forever and as much as possible, since SMB2 baby! Definitely going to make my rounds with everyone though.
@Hydra_Spectre
I thought my daughter was going to throw something at the TV when the Direct did not reveal Rosalina...
Mario, love that guy
It's a bit pointless, as they're basically all the same, but probably Luigi with a grapple-hook badge!
@Snatcher same
Would've played as Yoshi except for the fact that he was made easy mode for no reason. So with that in mind I'll probably play as Toadette.
Even with everything else going on in Wonder, playable Daisy is the single most exciting thing for me, so I fully expect I'll be maining her.
Probably Peach although I might try Yoshi because I kind of suck at platformers 🤪
Mario has a genuine charm (at least to me) that no other character feels right, i just wanna play as Mario in any game (unless i have the chance to play as kamek)
Oh yeah Weegee time!
Luigi and Daisy, to reinforce canon.
Mario for the first playthrough but I'll definitely use the other characters at some point as well.
Of course it has to be LUIGI! We need another year of Luigi too! 💚
Definitely Daisy! The princess of Sarasaland for the win!🥳
Luigi time for me.
İf İ can buy the game İ will play with Princess Peach. On Mario Kart 8 Deluxe İ choose always Princess Peach and on Mario party superstrars to.
Daisy, since having her playable in mainline Mario games is so rare. Luigi second, because he's my boy.
All these choices...yet most just want Mario Bros! Hehe.And Daisy too! As that is very new, even if they all play the same. I am the same though. I want to use Mario and Luigi and maybe sometimes Yoshi if I am really rubbish at the game!
I like alternating between Mario and Luigi. They have always been my go to
I'll go straight to Mario and Yoshi. I am excited to jump to the sound of a musical instrument and I've always liked Yoshi's flutter jump.
I usually go for Mario, but with so many cool characters I definitely want to alternate between them and yes, even including the "easy mode" characters as that doesn't matter to me!
First play through, Mario. Then I’ll change characters for each stage.
I still want to know...is Blue Toad the Toad in Mario 2 on Nes? Or is that Classic Toad? He has Blue dots in the Nes version, but red dots in the SNES remake.
@NinjaNicky maybe there is no "normal Toad," bro. Maybe Toad is a spectrum.
ALWAYS LUIGI !!!!!!
I kinda wish that with so many Yoshis that at least one of them wouldn't be 'easy mode' cause I like his move set its obviously the most unique but with it being easy mode ill probably never use him
Also they defo need to have Rosalina as an unlockable, cause she needs to become a true mainstay!! and give her the luma spin too as an exclusive badge! as an attack or for extra upps
Daisy all the way.
Considering all the Yoshis and Nabbit are the same and that literally all the other characters are the same, this is kind of a pointless question. Still, being a Mario game... probably Mario. At least at first. It would be nice if every character offered something unique like in SMB2 and Super Mario All-Stars.
I personally will be primarily using Mario though I will be switching it up and using Luigi from time to time as well. I usually just stick with the classics.
I always love playing as/with Yoshi when available, but I don't want to play in easy mode. I wish maybe green Yoshi or somthing was just another character.
Nobody wants yellow yoshi 💀
Definitely Mario. I like that there are finally new art designs and assets for this game, but there’s something about this that seems unfocused like a ROM hack.
Of course I’ve not played yet, but it seems like ideas are all over the place. I trust Nintendo with 2D Mario, so my opinion will likely change soon. I guess I voted Mario because to me, a classic NES player, this new world doesn’t have as obvious a Mario identity, but perhaps I’m too stuck on the OG games up through SNES (which were all very different from one another). I blame you, NSMB, for your consistency!
I would play as Yoshi if I could disable the easy mode!!
Toadette. She's pink, you see.
Mario or Luigi. But others depending on their specific qualities and the levels favoring them.
