Super Mario Bros. Wonder on iPhone and Mac (nxnative)
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is on the nxnative tested list: the game you own can run as a native iPhone, iPad or Mac app. Here is what the official notes say about the tested version, performance, app size and known issues.
How well does it run?
Plays on the iPhone. It was the first game nxnative brought up, after Diablo II: Resurrected in d2r-mobile, so much of the project was built on it.
What to know
- It starts in the 2D touch layout.
- The tested profile packs update 1.2.1 by default; 1.0.0 is also recorded.
Playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder on iPhone
You need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer on iOS 26, or an M1 iPad, plus a Mac to build the app from your own game files (see requirements and how to use nxnative). The app starts in the 2D touch layout; a connected controller hides the touch controls.
For longer sessions a controller helps: a phone-mounted USB-C controller such as the GameSir G8 Plus MFi turns the iPhone into a handheld, and the game’s motion controls then follow the iPhone’s own gyro. See the controller guide.
