Hit side-scrolling platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder has tons of levels to complete and secrets to find, so you may be wondering how long the game takes to complete. In this article, we’ll be going over how long Super Mario Bros. Wonder is depending on your level of completion.
How Long Does It Take to Beat Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is on the shorter side for games these days. As a platformer, that’s not a bad thing though. Game length is such a delicate balance for platformers. Too long and you’ll run the risk of things getting too repetitive or just frustratingly difficult for the sake of adding play time. I found that Super Mario Bros. Wonder had the perfect length to keep you hooked and having a great time.

Main Story / Objectives
If you’re looking to quickly complete the game and just experience the story it’s a nice, short run through. It will only take you around 8 and a half hours to beeline through the main content of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
You’ll get to experience the story and all the major worlds and levels. This amount of time excludes doing any of the secret areas, extra levels or fully completing the stages. If you’re someone with a super busy schedule who still wants to experience the game, this is a great option for you! You’ll be able to complete it in short bursts and still enjoy the awesome experience the game has to offer.
Completionist
One of the best parts of these kinds of side-scrolling platformers is going after the challenge of fully completing them. For this kind of playthrough of Super Mario Bros. Wonder you can expect to sink around 16 hours to achieving everything on offer. We’re talking all Wonder Seeds, all the big Purple Coins and reaching the top of the Flag Pole in each level. Plus completing all the secret exits and grabbing the hidden Flag Poles too.
Full completion often require you having unlocked powers throughout the story and then coming back to use them on certain levels to 100% complete them. It’s a super satisfying way to play the game and does come with much more challenge than story / main objective play through.
That’s how long it takes to beat Super Mario Bros. Wonder at various levels of completion. From a short playthrough of the story and all the main levels through to fully completing all the content, there are options for everyone!
