Wonder is an upcoming 2D side-scrolling action title of the Super Mario Bros. series. In this game, Mario and the rest of the cast can transform into various forms that possess different special abilities. New power-ups include Elephant forms, Bubble forms and more. The elephant form makes the character\u2019s body grow big and chunky, with a long trunk that can be used for attacks and sucking in water to sprinkle on flowers and grass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Mario and Luigi, there are 12 playable characters in this title, a record for the Mario series. The game also features an offline multiplayer mode for up to four players. During multiplayer, players can jump on the back of Yoshi, who is controlled by another player, and ride him. In this way, Yoshi can even be ridden by another Yoshi, and the large Elephant Mario is not an exception either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Super Mario Bros.

Perhaps to help bear the great weight, Yoshi\u2019s stance is also much wider than when carrying another Yoshi or Toadette, and his arms are strained, palms formed into tight fists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an expected turn of events, this sight of Yoshi desperately lugging Elephant Mario has triggered a series of memes and parodies, most <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_niltera\/status\/1698251958040338563?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">imagining<\/a> the moment Elephant Mario launches himself at Yoshi meaning fatality for the poor dinosaur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d6ppvdy1h4\">pic.twitter.com\/d6ppvdy1h4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Nintendo Out of Context (@NinTextual) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NinTextual\/status\/1698085429298307311?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/RandomStuffette\/status\/1698161135512601077?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the post above, Yoshi gets fatally struck down by the impact, Smash Bros-style. No less illustrative of Yoshi\u2019s suffering are the videos in which he is immediately escorted to heaven or has his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@maestromancomon\/video\/7273609543391792389) as Elephant Mario makes a landing on top of him.&nbsp;\n\n\n\nI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cervical vertebrae cracked<\/a> as Elephant Mario makes a landing on top of him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, Yoshi has been the butt of similarly cruel jokes, as using the jump when getting off of Yoshi has long been used by players to reach high places in titles such as Super Mario World and others, leading to <a href=\"\/\/www.thegamer.com\/mario-funniest-yoshi-memes\/#all-those-yoshis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">depictions<\/a> of a bunch of used and discarded Yoshis at the bottom of valleys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/20230905-262988-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem like Yoshi suffers any real disadvantages from carrying the elephant-turned characters on his back in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Yoshi doesn\u2019t suffer a fatality nor has his spine broken, but rather even manages to jump as usual with Elephant Mario on his back. According to the official explanation, Yoshi and Nabbit are characters recommended to those not experienced with action games, as they do not take damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supermariobroswonder.nintendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Super Mario Bros.
