Jack Black Joins Jonas Brothers Onstage for ‘Peaches’ Performance

The Jonas Brothers ended their run on The Tour with a very special guest: Jack Black.

The actor surprised the audience during the tour’s final night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night (Dec. 9). While the brothers were on intermission, Black rose from beneath the stage dressed as his The Super Mario Bros. Movie character Bowser, in a green track suit and red mohawk. The pianist, dressed as Toad, began to play as Black sang “Peaches,: his viral song from the film.

“This song goes out to my one and only true love, Princess Peach,” he told the crowd. “And to my good friends, the Jonas Brothers.”

Exclusively for Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is priced at $59.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target.

As for the game’s story, Mario, Luigi and friends make a trip to the Flower Kingdom to visit Prince Florian. However, during their visit, Bowser, Bowser Jr. and Kamek surprise attack the kingdom to kidnap the prince and steal the magical Wonder Flower. You must pick your favorite character, rescue the prince, get the Wonder Flower back and restore peace and order to the Flower Kingdom.

In addition, there are new power-ups and abilities for Super Mario Bros. Wonder — Elephant Fruit will turn you into a stampeding elephant, a Bubble Flower allows you to trap enemies in floating bubbles, a Drill Mushroom can help you navigate through levels and a special Wonder Flower can turn any level into delightfully, trippy chaos.

After playing a few levels, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a joyful throwback to past Mario games, like the original Super Mario Bros. trilogy, Super Mario World, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and others, but updated with modern graphics and animations, as well as up to four multi-player co-op — local and online. This adds a new wrinkle to the gameplay and mechanics since you’re playing with and against each other in a common goal to clear levels. In other words, it plays like Super Mario Bros., but looks and feels like Super Smash Bros. at the same time.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch is out now for $59.99.
