Few people talk about how each Yoshi's Island level feels like a self-contained story, an episode of a delightful kid's show, more like an adventure than an obstacle course. Your description of Mario Wonder reminded me a lot of the reasons I love Yoshi's Island, and I'm glad you concluded the video referencing that game. I was afraid it would just be another New Sup with a different aesthetic, but I'm happy it doesn't seem like it. Looking forward to playing it.

[@daishoga]

I still remember playing Yoshi's Island for the first time. It was a lifechanging experience. As much love as it gets I still feel it's an underrated gem. There are very few games I would call "perfect." Tetris is a hard lock. Yoshi's Island though? Maybe it's not perfect but it's so close to perfect I feel it's fair to argue it is. The beautiful spritework still stands to this day as some of the best of all time imo. The graphics were especially incredible for its time on the SNES no less. That 3D chip was such a wonderful idea. And don't even get me started on the OST. To this day random tracks from this game will suddenly start playing in my head. I also think it has the best fortress theme of any Mario game. There was a sense of magic to Yoshi's Island that few experiences ever quite match. It is one of the few games I ever gave a perfect score to.

[@doantranvan1844]

ok

[@philstankus]

I feel like this game is in some ways a response to everything that came out of Mario Maker. Players got such mileage out of the standard Mario elements and came up with such amazing designs, that Nintendo must have seen it all and realized that in order to make a new 2D platformer, they needed to do something truly unique and impossible to imitate. That's why I think there's so many brand new ideas in each level; an example of fan-content pushing the developers to innovate their own IP and bring back the "wonder" that was originally associated with the series from the beginning.

[@averhardt5840]

The distinction between Mario's Plot and Story was on point here. Never really had the words to summarize why I still "felt" something from the mario games, and that hits it perfectly.

[@hb-robo]

I like you enthusiasm but I'm a little confused by this. NSMBU was a directorial debut, so was NSMB2, NSMB1 and Wii were directed by the same guy and his only works to date, Odyssey was the solo directorial debut from Hayashida's protoge... Like, can it even be said that the old masters are the ones passing the flame when they gave it up to other young prospects decades ago, some of whom failed? Mouri clearly knows what he's doing but he isn't like some wunderkind that they finally found to be worthy of the Mario mantle

Honestly, this has been one of the most fun and creative Mario games in a while. Every course is extremely fun to play and explore, and the Wonder effects are a welcome change of pace. My only complaint is that excluding the final two courses, this game was extremely easy. I 100 percented every level leading up to the final Bowser conflict first playthrough and 100 percented the entire game a few days later. For reference, I often find myself struggling with the later pre-bowser courses in Super Mario Bros. 3 and World. So I could only imagine how easy this game is to long time veterans of the series. Despite that though, I do highly recommend it to anyone looking for a Mario game closer in design philosophy to Super Mario Bros. 3 and World. It won’t challenge you as much as those older titles, but compared to the New Super Mario Bros. games from the past few years, it is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Whenever I get a new game I get this feeling in me. When its a really good game I can only describe it as my soul lighting up and I have a constant smile while playing. This is one of those games.

[@CafeNoir7777]

This game really makes you feel like a newborn baby.

[@Sluggyduggyquackquack]

I thought I would be annoyed by the talking flowers after seeing the first trailer, but I honestly really like them! They add a lot of extra charm to the game imo

[@ulengrau6357]

Nooo dunkey! The PLOT are the sequence of events that get you through the STORY. The STORY is that Bowser kidnaps Peach and Mario has to save her. Jeez dude… writing 101.

[@yungmuney5903]

Exactly 😂. Like this would make kh3's story look like a masterpiece

[@KushAstronaut]

Congrats on your baby Dunkey! Wishing her health and a bright happy future! ❤

[@Quakeinc14]

Nintendo knows how to make a masterpiece video game and they don’t need major graphics to do it. This game brought me back to my childhood. When gaming was simple and addictive.

[@VicDrums83]

Nintendo never ceases to amaze me. The amount of creativity they put into Mario games is "wonder"ful.

[@Nothingz3dge]

Congrats on your guys kid!! Wild watching your vids for the last decade and seeing the change from the to now in your life & career

[@Nothingz3dge]

[@omensoffate]

Huh

[@grandmasteryoda6717]

I think you inverted some words there

[@pjsethbhakdi5620]

I love how Dunkey once compared Super Mario Bros. to six flags and Donkey Kong to Disneyland because of the level designs.

[@ryanu2352]

Fantastic video as always dunkey. The opening line was fantastic

"It's not because I am nice, that's why I can't tell you to trust me. It's not like I can save everyone, right? But if I won't reach my hand while I can, the regret would make me wish I were dead. I reach out my hand because I don't want that." -Hino Eiji

0:56 Finally, Nintendo has added a good character like the slime from Dragon Quest

[@Victini7472]

[@franktavarez6765]

Hold on dunkey had a kid!!??!? Man to be a perennial enjoyer of a KZbinr is a wild ride! Congratulations dunkey, Leah, and mini Dunkleah!

I changed the language of the flowers to Korean and it made them more tolerable. I don't understand Korean, but the voice acting for the flowers was wonderful out of all the languages to me. It was funny to hear the random English words that I guess there was no Korean equivalent. Also almost 100% the game already. Definitely one of the few games I have bought and actually can't put it down. Going to get back to it later today when I get home.

[@Hexadeca]

Side note it's 10/10 game and would have been a 11/10 except there are a few levels that aggravated me to rage because you have to time the jumps perfectly. I got the CRKD nitro deck for my switch that allows you to program the extra back buttons. You can't remap the Y dash button to a shoulder button with the in-game change button controls so you can easily continuously hold it for jump, jump, jump maps with jump on X. My poor arthritic hands were yelling at me till I finally tried out the button programing. T^T So get the CRKD switch nitro deck if you are an elderly 30+ year old gamer and need those extra back buttons. The only complaint about the deck is the rumble of it sucks so had to turn it off, right stick feels out of place for my large hands, and no Amiibo scanner.

[@0815Snickersboy]

What languages are available for the flowers ?

[@MetaDash]

@@0815Snickersboy whole bunch - english, candian french, french, german, italian, dutch, japanese, korean, spanish (spain and latin american), portuguese (portgual and brazil), russian, traditional AND simplified chinese additionally there is the option to turn their voices off completely.

[@primetime1098-ti]

man this guy does such a good job with a unique style!

[@stormtechofficial]

with everything in this game, i don't see how they're gonna have original ideas for the next game i think they used just about any idea anybody could ever come up with

[@JoseViktor4099]

According to developers, seems that they had like 2000 wonder effects ideas to add into the game, but I agree, this game is peak creativity and its gonna hard to be surpased in that aspect.

[@WheresYourToque]

After SM Galaxy, they needed a SM Universe or SM Cosmos 😆

[@RayMFCharles]

3:22 I laughed unnecessarily hard at this 😂

[@vinzerx]

I honestly think Super Mario Odyssey turning out to be a huge success paved the road for them to try a similar approach in Wonder in that they're free to try new game mechanics instead of being forced to play it safe with gameplay as other big studios with established franchises make their design teams do.
