New Super Mario Bros.: Revenge of the Bros. is a game for the Nintendo Switch and the seventh installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series. The game retains the core gameplay of the New Super Mario Bros. series but includes several new features, aspects, and the addition of Plus Worlds (which are worlds unlocked after the Normal 8 Worlds are beaten). It is also the first New Super Mario Bros. game since the original DS Game to not feature the Koopalings and is also the first game in the series to not feature Bowser and Bowser Jr. as the main antagonists. The game also reintroduces Toadsworth to the series and also returns the Pokey enemies to their Super Mario Sunshine appearance with the flowers on their heads.
The game's story involves the various Bro. enemies (which include the Hammer Bros, Boomerang Bros, Ice Bros, Fire Bros, Bomber Bros, Vortex Bros, Lightning Bros, Coin Bros, Chomp Bros, Sledge Bros, Curve Bros, Frost Bros, Blaze Bros, Exploder Bros, Twister Bros, Storm Bros, Cash Bros, Chain Bros, and more.) lead by the evil King Bro. and Kingdom Bro. plotting an all-out conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom and then the World. Mario and Luigi must chase King Bro. around the Mushroom Kingdom whilst saving their friends from various enemies who join them on their adventure. After saving Princess Peach from Bowser in World 8, the adventure transitions to the Bros. Territory and this is where the Plus Worlds take place in a new yet unfamiliar environment.
The game also comes with multiplayer mode which players can play as the various characters that have been rescued during the adventure. Each character has their own abilities. Each level also contains 5 Star Coins which can be obtained by using each character's special abilities. These Star Coins unlock bonus levels. This is also the first NSMB game since New Super Mario Bros. to contain Minigames which can be played in Single Player or Multiplayer.
The game began development in late 2014, it was first revealed in September 14, 2017 and was scheduled for a May 2018 release however was delayed several times until the game's final release which is set for July 20, 2022. This large-scale delay has been described as one of the biggest delays in video game history being compared to the heavy delays of Duke Nukem Forever and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
