Professor Connect is a robotic character that appears on the world map in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The player can talk to it to toggle online play. Professor Connect resembles a parabolic antenna and sports a Wi-Fi signal icon that is struck through if online play is disabled. It gets lit up in turquoise when online play is enabled. It is similar to Uncle amiibo from Super Mario Odyssey, as a personified robot with a title preceding a generic name that is tied to mechanics that exist on the player's end.
