Wonder - SNES
Image: Nintendo Life

One of the Switch's most unique and interesting features is its ability to be used with a wide variety of controllers. You've got the standard Joy-Con, of course, but you can also use a Pro Controller, a Super NES pad, a HORI Switch Split Pad, and many, many more.

With the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder just last week, many folks have come to realise just how compatible the game is with different controllers. Given that you don't have to use the analogue stick for movement and can quite easily get by with the d-pad (in fact, many would turn their noses up at the very notion of controlling a 2D Mario game with an analogue stick), this opens up a lot of avenues through which to control the game.

Just check out the lovely Zion rocking the SNES pad below, for example (smile Zion, for goodness sake)!

So what we'd love to know is what your controller of choice is for Nintendo's latest flagship platformer. Have you opted for the standard Joy-Con for this one, or are you making your way through the game with an N64 pad, of all things? Is there a definitive answer as to what's the best controller for Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
