Nintendo has confirmed that players will be able to turn off the voices for the Talking Flowers in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
This is a new mechanic for the game, although it’s a bit of a small one. Nintendo previously said that the flowers are in to make the adventure a bit more lively – plus they may give you hints or even coins.

When it comes to the big Nintendo franchises like Mario, many fans tend to be curious as to how much Shigeru Miyamoto is involved. Miyamoto is one of the most important people at the company as the creator of various characters and franchises. Even if he’s not quite as hands-on as he used to be, he still contributes to some projects.
As for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, producer Takashi Tezuka said Miyamoto would “give some opinions” and “make comments here and there”. Tezuka said in an interview with IGN:

Tezuka said: “I wanted to prevent people from saying, ‘We won’t make that deadline, so that’s why we didn’t do it – we can’t do it.'”
