Nintendo has done it again. They’ve given us another internet meme with this year’s Nintendo Direct, and fans are eating it up all over the internet. This time around, we got a new Mario game (finally!) in the form of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but the reveal also came with a not-so-secret post-credits scene that featured Mario turning into an elephant. No, not an elephant suit. An actual elephant form with distinct Mario features like his moustache, cap, plumber overalls and unmistakable blue eyes!
Fans of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Just Got the Best News
Historically, Mario games have always had some animal-themed suit power-ups. We’ve seen a frog suit, raccoons, penguins, and even the kitty cat pyjama suit that was featured in the recent Super Mario Bros. Movie. In the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder game though, they are taking a completely new design direction that might just breathe some new life into the world of 2D Mario games. Witnessing Mario consume the Elephant fruit at the end of that trailer instantly garnered attention from every corner of the internet, and people had some hilarious takes on this chonky fella.
