|''Super Mario Odyssey'' released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in late 2017. As a new entry in the 3D games and a new sandbox-style 3D ''Super Mario'' game after ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Sunshine'', it focuses on Mario and a new character named [[Cappy]] (who takes the form of the [[Mario Cap]]) visiting kingdoms far from the Mushroom Kingdom and collecting [[Power Moon]]s, ultimately in an attempt to prevent Bowser force-marrying Princess Peach and to rescue Cappy's sister [[Tiara]]. Cappy has multiple uses, such as being thrown like a boomerang (which can be used to [[Capture|control life forms and inanimate objects]]) and jumping off him in midair like a platform. In addition, this is the first main ''Super Mario'' game to be compatible with [[amiibo]], and it was launched alongside a trio of amiibo based on the game.

|''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' is a side-scroller for the Nintendo Switch. Its plot involves Mario and his allies setting out to save the [[Flower Kingdom]] from Bowser. The game plays similarly to the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' sub-series with its four-player mode. The game's central mechanic is [[Wonder Effect]]s, which are triggered by collecting [[Wonder Flower]]s. Collecting them in different levels causes various different effects. It also introduces three new power-ups: the [[Elephant Fruit]], [[Bubble Flower]], and [[Drill Mushroom]], which transform characters into their [[Elephant Mario|Elephant forms]], [[Bubble Mario|Bubble forms]], and [[Drill Mario|Drill forms]], respectively. This is also the first game to feature [[Kevin Afghani]] succeeding [[Charles Martinet]] in voicing Mario and Luigi.

|[[Mario]] is the main protagonist in his titular series of games. Throughout almost thirty years, Mario has been the star of the largest game franchise Nintendo has published. Many characters have fought alongside Mario in his adventures in platformers and RPGs, but many have also fought against him during those times. Mario has gone through many physical changes, from his original 8-bit appearance, to his current 128-bit appearance. Mario commonly rescues Princess Peach, as well as several others, such as [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, as his adventures continue. Mario has even been accepting enough to team up at times with his greatest foe, Bowser.

It is explained by Mario that [[Wario#Relationships|Wario has always been jealous of his popularity since they were kids]] and has tried to steal his [[Mario's Castle|castle]] several times. Wario was able to succeed when Mario was away to free Sarasaland from Tatanga's invasion. To prevent Mario from entering the castle, Wario scattered the 6 Golden Coins all over [[Mario Land (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mario Land]] and now are guarded by his underlings. Mario eventually recovers all the Golden Coins, enters his castle and confronts Wario in the throne room. Wario engages Mario in battle using several power-ups but despite his best efforts, he is ultimately defeated and flees.
