Mario Wonder is a phenomenal-looking platformer. Sadly, I did not spend much time with the base game as I tend to only play games I am reviewing. This is not to take anything away from the title; I just simply never got around to playing it through.

Nintendo are bringing a huge DLC pack to Mario Wonder titled: Meetup in Bellabel Park. The DLC is a bit different from what I had expected, and I got a chance to sit down and play some of the new modes in Bellabell Park.

There are a ton of new additions in this pack, including playable new characters, challenges, and brand-new content and features that I will detail below.

So, I thought new DLC for Mario Wonder would be extra levels, maybe a mirror mode of existing levels, or just new characters to play as. When I got to see what it actually was, I was surprised to say the least.

Here are all the add-ons coming with the Super Mario Wonder Meetup in Bellabel Park DLC:

  • New Character - Rosalina is here to join the gang. She brings with her Luma, who can fly around and collect items without taking damage.
  • Bellabell Park Hub - A huge new area with 17 co-op or competitive modes.
  • New Gameplay Modes - 6 new online gameplay modes are available to play with friends via ​​the Game Room Plaza.
  • New Content and Features - The Koopalings have stolen treasure from Bellabell Park, tasking players to find them all. A new assist mode has also been added, preventing players from falling down pits and taking damage.

What I got to play was a selection of minigames against and with 3 other players at the event. The Bellabell Hub felt odd - like the map between levels in Super Mario 3D World, very different from the rest of Mario Wonder.

Once in the hub, you can visit the events, such as floating through each stage on a flower in a race to the finish, or bouncing on balls continuously again to win the race to the end. There was a tag-and-hide-and-seek game involving clouds to fly around on and smoke to make things more difficult.

My time was limited, as was the game selection, but for anyone after some Super Mario Party content that uses the Mario Wonder levels, Bellabell Park has you covered.

Super Mario Wonder Meetup in Bellabell Park releases on 26 March 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2.
