Random: Bowser Tries To Woo Elephant Peach In Super Mario Bros. Wonder Ad

He’s got manners, at least.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is just around the corner, launching on the Switch on October 20th, 2023. As such, Nintendo is ramping up its marketing campaign with adverts left, right, and centre, making sure that everybody and their Nan are aware of the upcoming title.
