What’s Next For 2D Mario?

[@magicalhikari_05]

If SMBW gets a sequel I’d like to propose more Boss fight variety. The final boss is cool, yeah, and I’d be fine with 1 or 2 Junior battles, but they really missed an opportunity to use the Wonder Flower effects to enhance various enemies to turn them into bosses, kinda like how NSMBDS went about its boss fights

[@Zen.Connection]

Yeah bosses were the most notable disappointment in Wonder. First thing I thought of to address in a potential follow-up.

[@Matty_Ice3955]

I agree. I like Switch games but majority of the games did not have much variety in terms of level design and bosses.

[@ParrotTalkBack]

I thought they would have the ability to combine caps as well

[@abnorth2276]

Maybe they could lean into it a bit like rayman legends or something similar. Having dramatic or very goofy bosses would be really cool.

[@prowolf633]

There is so much I want to see in a Wonder 2 or DLC! *return of certain power-ups, especially the Ice Flower *the koopalings appear as bosses and each have different wonder effects *new playable characters, possibly including Rosalina and Birdo (as an easy character like Nabbit and the yoshis) *new badges mixed with the ones from the first game *possible new characters *few more cutscenes *of course more wonder effects original and new combined

[@jockson7574]

I’m surprised the ice flower didn’t return because the game takes place in the FLOWER kingdom. I also want the broodals to come back as bosses

[@jv______]

I have thought of some dlc for wonder that would be cool if it would happen Basically it’s where bowser goes to the mushroom kingdom taking the flowers with him, making a bunch a new wonder effects as there in a whole new kingdom and maybe they could also go to Sahrasaland or something

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I’d rather they make a more traditional alternative 2D Mario. Wonder is a more gimmicky 2D Mario, I want a new super Mario bros. U sequel with 3D art style and no wonder flower/seed or elephant mario

[@Kirby_BallZ]

I think it would be good if they kept to the flower kingdom for a game or 2 just expanding on the first game like it wasn’t perfect.

[@Kirby_BallZ]

Also maybe dlc might be announced at the game awards

[@pengil3]

Sarasaland would make much more sense as it’s smaller than the flower kingdom and is much less boring than the mushroom kingdom

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

@@Kirby_BallZ Very doubt it, I think this is just a experimental side project and not mainline. They are starting a new style of 2D Mario in parallel to NSMBU and they would rather develop on wonder.

It could actually have good bosses- That's how you can make it better.

[@Pen-cap-official]

Agreed

[@Mario_Fan000]

i mean yeah the final boss was cool and bowser jr was.... repetitive. and they do have a lot of potential. hey missed the chance to use wonder effects to turn enemies giant like they did the hoppycats in shining falls. just like NSMBDS.

[@CarterInosencio]

The fact that they didn’t use the koopalings with unique wonder effects for some actually interesting boss fights is insane. The one game they would’ve actually been good in

[@ethanj6286]

Didn’t worry, you wonder just come out

[@Yipper64]

its interesting. One thing ive learned that when youre a small development team, deadlines are necessary. It doesnt even matter if you dont have any reason to have a deadline, make a deadline or nothing will ever get done. But it seems for larger studios, deadlines arent always necessary. Sure you gotta have em' for some games, but some projects can more than get away with not having any.

[@chipminunleashedvods]

I gotta say, I really didn’t like being able to collide with friends and Im glad it’s gone but I think it should be a toggle to accommodate both types of players, I also think the way online was implemented is perfect and think they hit the sweetspot for 2D Mario online functionality

[@cosmicyoutubeoof]

If they ever do make a Super Luigi Wonder I do want Mario to be playable, or at least, the person you save because why would Mario no-show to a big Luigi adventure? A Mario Wonder sequel would be incredible, the ideas Nintendo showed on the first game and their thoughts on the amount they had gives me hope, awesome video :D

Imagine special new villian like evil Poplin and make him work with Bowser and take over both kingdoms and a new way to travel between mushroom and flower Kingdom that would be awesome

[@jockson7574]

If there was a goomba like equivalent to poplins that join bowser similar to how goombas were toads that betrayed the mushroom kingdom and joined bowser, that would be amazing to see

[@ClaireS-op8id]

3:24 For me, it was memories of screaming at my siblings, getting yelled at by our parents because of that, and getting temporarily banned from the game. I couldn’t be happier that those multiplayer gimmicks are gone and personally would be really mad if they decided to keep them in a sequel.

[@kriketpenguin962]

[@Gatorboy5678]

Same bro! I never got banned but my little brother got mad and stopped playing.

I don’t see how people think that multiplayer tantrums are fun, tbh, especially when you’re children. (P.S. I’m more of a “sis”)

SUPER LUIGI WONDER : THE LOSTEST LEVELS Featuring: 1. Murderous friendly-fire local bully multiplayer returns ! 2. More varities of Fuzzies ! Uppers, downers, sidewaysers… Shout to Yoshi’s Island 3. Deliciously frustrating difficulty

[@AyeYoYoYooo]

Great idea 👻 I think several things need to appear in Wonder 2 …. 1. SMB3 Racoon Tail power up for the craziest “high ceiling” levels in the game 2. 3dWorld’s cat suit power up for all the tough “climbing level ideas” they have. Or maybe even some Tom&Jerry inspired “common household hazards” levels. 3. More “fuzzy” variety, ala Yoshi’s Island …. Traditional wavy fuzzies, but also the uppers, downers, sidewaysers/wallwalkers, and many new consciousness-altering “fuzzies” per specific levels, that showcase such !

[@omnipresent_lightbulb]

Bro's got serious beef with my man Luigi

[@tenokats]

would be cool if the bonus levels were similar to the ones in ULTRAKILL - in the sense that the gameplay/genre completely changes for 1 level, then goes back to normal after imagine going through a hidden warp pipe in the world map and winding up in a Mario & Luigi game

[@Mariofan..]

Hear me out: given the supposed leak of a new 3D Mario game that has Mario visit different Nintendo franchises I propose some new twists for this game could be the new “wonder effects” changing the way the game plays straight up into something like Zelda 1 or classic Metroid and seeing how Mario would move in those games or even having it control like them, either or could work really but you do risk making the game TOO diverse by having the move set get changed. Anyways that my idea dump

[@INFERNO95]

Stop repeating crap from the net. It stupid idea anyway.

[@danny_bz]

I'm convinced they removed some of the basic expected features like local player collision or true online multiplayer so that it would be easier to improve upon with the enviable sequel.

[@demenitusthehedgehoglitch5603]

"How to make mario wonder better" Let's start with the most obvious issue: all bosses are just bowser Jr. Let's start with better bosses, shall we?

[@Nick_Lyston]

I feel like wonder effects should stay in the flower kingdom, in keeping with how ingesting plants is what produces psychedelic effects. Maybe they could make a mario wonder themed metroidvania in the flower kingdom. I’d play that.

[@portiac6097]

Fun fact Mario 2 was the first Mario game where the characters had special powers

maybe mario could go home after a long adventure, then fall asleep and have a dream of mario wonder but things are different

[@tpfoxCastro]

4:16 Actually, I don't like this idea. I see that many people wanted each character to have exclusive abilities, but I think that just ruins the game for people that prefer the mario controls but like other characters more. Like, Toad is my favorite character in the game but I wouldn't play him if his mechanics were different. Each character having unique mechanics just incentivises people to not play with their favorite character because they don't like their mechanics or just because there are easier/harder characters

[@prince-py7cz]

[@670839245]

Themes for Mario Maker. 3D World works because their theme is already based on a blocky world, and it wouldn't feel like too much of a betrayal to the original to turn it into a grid-based level editor. Things like 64, Sunshine or Galaxy have much more varied terrain, and it wouldn't make much sense to turn them into a grid-based level editor.

[@Spat856]

1:30 Ive got a salution thats more realistic and wouldn't need to have things be built from the ground up. They need to make MW2 focus on the mechanics that took a back seat in the first game, and tone down the one that was front and center. In other words, they need to make the sequal focus more on the badges to get through levels and less on the wonder seed level mechanics.

[@dislocante]

Also add an easy mode or an option to select the character who’d be immune so yoshi and the other purple rat can be played like the rest of the characters

[@christophercarrasco154]

I'm in the minority where I personally don't think Super Mario Wonder is perfect. If they were to change anything, I'd probably want a better boss battle for the Airships instead of those buttons, Wonder Flowers that just don't reuse concepts to make each level stand out more, better use for the purple coins aside from unlocking levels and standees, music levels that're more hectic like the Rayman games, Wonder Flowers that aren't just "YOU CAN SWIM IN LAVA NOW!" or "YOU'RE IMMUNE TO ELECTRICITY!", boss battles at the end of every world like I was so bummed out that Fungi Mines and Shining Falls did NOT have a boss, probably DON'T just use Bowser Jr. as your miniboss and get creative like the original New Super Mario Bros. DS, characters that aren't reskins and if they were reskins... can they just like... put it in an alternative costume section? .... I can go on. Like how they took away each character's individuality in favor of the badge system... but then give special powers to Yoshi. Like why can't Peach float with her dress? ALSO FOR GOD'S SAKES, GIVE THE FLOWERS MORE PERSONALITY. I feel like this is the first Mario game with "UMMM THAT JUST HAPPENED" humor. Don't get me wrong! The game's great but a lot of stuff stood out to me..... but it's a hard 8 for me.

[@roykoopabestboy]

You are not in the minority. Everything you said about bosses is 100% true, kamek should’ve been the airship boss, and worlds 3 and 5 insulted me. Still, though, this game doesn’t reuse a lot of wonder effects, and most of them are pretty good, so 9/10 for me

[@lasercraft32]

Whatever they do, I hope they add Rosalina, Wario, and/or Waluigi. They could easily add new power-ups in a sequel as well, since Wonder only had a small handful of them.

About multi-player, New Super Mario Bros for DS had some really nice local multi-player ideas! It was mini games but still super fun.

[@WhyNot-mj3hj]

What I think would be awesome for a Wonder DLC is if we got to play as Bowser. Like maybe it could be set before Wonder and show Bowser gathering up the flowers and discovering what they do. It would also be cool if the worlds start out as normal, but the more you play, the backgrounds become worse looking and the NPCs are either more aggressive to you or more terrified. Kinda like the opposite to how the games usually play out. And maybe the prices for items become higher the more worlds you destroy or you’ll have to bully the NPCs out of giving you their wonder seeds and flowers. Nintendo definitely WON’T ever do this, but it’d be a cool idea.

[@hamzagamalelgamal]

Mario Wonder's sequel's villain shouldn't be Bowser. Or at least the main one. It should take place in the dream world where King Wart rules and controls Bowser, Bowser Jr., Koopalings, Boom Boom, etc. I'd love for villains like the Super Mario Bros. 2 ones with variety. And maybe then Bowser would team up with Mario like in SMRPG.
