As you can see from the two promotional blocks they released this week, they're bringing back the cups for Super Mario Bros. Wonder and WarioWare: Move It! over the next few weeks. WarioWare's cup will run for five days straight as it will kick off this Thursday, November 30, and run all the way until December 4. Meanwhile, the Wonder cup will take place from December 14 to 18.
