Super Mario Wonderland 1987

About

Super Mario Wonderland 1987 is a fan-made platformer that reimagines the Mario universe as if it existed in 1987 between the Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 3. You play as the Mario Brothers, battling Blue Bowser and his son Blue Bowser Jr., who’ve taken over the Flower Kingdom. The game leans into retro platforming with tight controls and level design that feels familiar but freshly chaotic. Set on PC, it’s a solo adventure from Nimaginendo Games that nods to classic Mario while tweaking the formula. The game’s biggest draw is its alternate take on the Mushroom Kingdom lore. Blue Bowser’s story arc, his quest to outdo his brother, adds a new layer to the series’ villains. While it lacks official endorsement, the project has drawn praise from niche communities for its creative risks and attention to period-accurate aesthetics. With a release date of August 7, 2024, it’s positioning itself as a love letter to 8-bit nostalgia with a twist.

Storyline

Blue Bowser (Bowser's brother who only appears in the Lost Levels) is making a big mess in the Flower Kingdom. He wants to be as mean as Bowser having a kingdom just for him. Next to the big villain is Blue Bowser Jr., his son, and together they try to stop the Mario Brothers from proceeding.
