New Super Mario Bros. Wonder amiibo are up for preorder at Amazon, and you won’t believe how incredible they look

Super Mario Bros. Wonder getting the Switch 2 Edition + expansion treatment in March feels like Nintendo making the correct call, and I couldn’t think of a better game to be getting that bit more attention on the new system.

To mark the new-gen upgrade and the arrival of the Meetup in Bellabel Park DLC, Nintendo is also rolling out three brand-new amiibo tied to the game. Each one costs $24.99 and they all launch on March 26, the same day the new content goes live. Pre-orders are already open.

The lineup includes Elephant Mario, Captain Toad with a Talking Flower, and Poplin with Prince Florian. Elephant Mario is exactly as charming as it sounds, squeezing his oversized elephant form halfway out of a pipe. The Poplin amiibo features the bright orange character clutching a watering can, with Prince Florian perched on top of his head. Captain Toad, meanwhile, strikes a celebratory pose alongside the ever-chatty Talking Flower.

And because Nintendo cannot resist leaning into its own weirdness, there is also a standalone Talking Flower toy on the way. Yes, it actually talks to you. Yes, it is also available to preorder right now as well for $34.99.

As for the Switch 2 version of Super Mario Bros. Wonder itself, Nintendo is charging $79.99, which is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. Thankfully, there is a workaround if the original Switch version is not already sitting on your shelf. You can currently grab the standard Switch release for $46.99 at Woot, then upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition via the eShop for $19.99 once the expansion drops.

That brings the total to $64.99 for the full Switch 2 experience, saving $15 in the process. Not bad at all, especially when the alternative is paying full Nintendo tax for the privilege.

If you’re in the UK, you can pick up the Switch 2 version for £66.99 physical, and the rest of the new amiibo at My Nintendo Store UK.
