Super Mario Bros Wonder is The Switch Game of the Year

[@Memelord2020]

2023 is definitely one of Nintendo’s best years. Fire Emblem Engage, Metroid Prime Remastered, Super Nintendo World, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, F-Zero 99, and now THIS! And WarioWare: Move It! and Super Mario RPG in November!

In order to aid in the completion of this game, I offer these two pieces of advice. 1)When playing the "badge marathon", switch it to a 2-player mode so that someone will have the crown on their head. 2)Either ply1 or ply2 should play as one of the Yoshies. Thier few seconds of hovering helps a lot!

I'd love to 100% it but I'm not sure I even can. It's funny, I can no hit a boss in Sekiro or Bloodborne but I absolutely suck at platformers, especially 2D platformers. I still can't beat any of the special world levels in this game, lol. I don't know why I'm so bad but I am.

[@Xoulrath_]

@@MarkHogan994 it's no different than any other game. Practice it, get better, then 100% if that's your goal. These people in the comments, myself included, that talk about the game being too easy have simply played games like this enough to "git gud" at them. I'd be willing to bet actual money that amongst those players, we'd be able to find one who was absolute trash at the games that you named. Play it if you enjoy it, and don't let others steal from your experience.

[@tor2919]

Art direction and animation is hugely important for gameplay. For me the return movement that feels like World beats any gimmick like the wonder flowers. Mario animates with crisp precise graphics just like in World or SMB3. In nsmb Mario is this smooth 3D mush that really hampers the feel of the game. So yes, graphical representation is very important for how playing feels in a precision 2D platformer

Update: I beat every Special World stage except the final two (still struggling on final and haven't unlocked final final yet). With the exception of Climbing to the Beat (which was absolutely sadistic!) and maybe the semifinal one, the special world stages weren't TOO bad. I've been playing the entire game in single player mode so it might be time to go online for the rest of the game to get some help.

[@jaretco6423]

That's because no one liked the Koopalings anymore. They brought them back in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and ever since than, they've been reappearing throughout most games in 2010's; mainline and spinoffs. And people are sick of them and wanted more variation of bosses. Heck. Bowser Jr. does all that the Koopalings do. So there's no point of bringing them back.

Really my only issue with the game was the lack of bosses. All you get is Bowser Jr. And he's not even in every world. Half the worlds just give you the Royal Seed without issues. And the flying ships don't even have bosses. Jr. should have been in the ships and the bosses in each world should have been the Koopa Kids. The NSMB games had better bosses. Each Koopaling had its own fight. In Wonder, Jr. only has one fight with slight "wonder" changes to the room during the fight. I hope we get a follow-up to Wonder that gives us some bosses. There's so much here that could be expanded on. I bet there are dozens of unused Wonder effects they didnt put in the game. I keep hoping for a Galaxy 2-esque followup to Odyssey. But I think that ship has sailed. But Wonder could really benefit from one in a few years on the Switch 2.

@larrylazer You say all of that. Yet, Wonders does it exactly the same thing and then some. But way better. So how exactly does it make it worst than what NSMB did?

[@jaretco6423]

@larrylazer If u think getting through all the 100% completion or the entire game as an whole of Wonder is easy, than I'm sorry. But u and other people who think of it are lying up to your ass. Wonder ain't that easy to complete. And since when have Mario games ever been about being hard? The New Super Mario Bros games weren't that difficult to complete either. I know because I never died that many times more than I did in Wonder.

THE thing I LOVE about Super Mario World that I miss about games that came after is how they treated secret exits in the levels (the stage in the overworld is red). SO glad to hear they finally have gone back to giving you a clue about secret exits! Very much looking forward to playing this now! Thanks!

[@MrJamess1982]

I can’t help but miss what we could have gotten in a Mario Maker with this game’s new forms, enemies and of course wonder flowers. I’m sure we could have made some insane courses with these new tools. :( maybe in another time line

[@kaisatwi6326]

Wahh

[@analoren4745]

I mean, there could be a Mario Maker 3?

[@CreativeSteve69]

I have high feelings they willl most likely make a Mario maker 3 on the next hardware. Since we had one for each system within their first year or two of being out. we probably will get Mario maker 3 by 2025 the latest I am predicting. @@analoren4745 coming from that pattern.

[@anthonynguyen1289]

@@analoren4745maybe, but Mario Maker is not a super well selling game compared to other Mario titles. I forget the figures, but it doesn’t surpass any of the modern titles (2000s onwards)

[@Xoulrath_]

​@@anthonynguyen1289it probably has a lot to do with the fact that, as many levels as there can be, they aren't all that great. For every amazing level that is both well designed and challenging for platforming masters, there are dozens of others that are just trash. I want to play a game with well thought out levels across the board, with some type of consistency. I wasn't impressed at all when I played the first Mario Maker.

I was just glad to complete this game and see that Nintendo are still capable of cranking out a FULL game that's got loads of polish. My only gripe is that the Standees need to be unlocked to fully complete the save file, I never played or intend to play online, ignored the standee shop my entire playthrough, and then figured out I had to unlock them all with flower coins. Flower coins that have a cap of 999, which you can reach before halfway through the game... so I freaking lost thousands of coins I could have used to unlock these stupid useless things, instead now I've got to grind for coins with the rest of the game finished.

[@erakfishfishfish]

Use Nabbit. Power-ups become purple coins for him. Makes farming just a little easier.

[@gooeydude574]

Why did it take this long for Nintendo to remove the timer?

[@erakfishfishfish]

And points.

Dude, your beard is… … AWESOME!!!!!!

[@I-O-I-]

So this will be the last video I ever watch from this guy, what a way to throw away your career…

[@feliipetzgames]

I'm loving playing this game on my channel!

[@adamheeley285]

I can't wait to see the next 3D Mario game after playing this.

[@eleven9286]

I bet they're saving the announcement of the next 3D Mario for when they announce the next Switch next year!

[@hyperhexjoe]

They’re probably saving it for later in a year, so I’d give them one year minimum before an actual release.

[@Zangetsu37]

I wasn't sure about Mario Wonder at first. After watching your review I want to give it a go. I'm if I'll complete it but I'll finish it. Thanks for another great episode.
