As somebody who spent over a YEAR trying to program a “roll on walls” power-up for one of my games, the Wubba is everything I’ve ever wanted and more. I want an entire GAME where you play as that thing, the controls are buttery-smooth and the music is pure dopamine. Banger ending video for 2023, by the way. Thanks for the great year Odyssey!
Well, reminds me a bit of Smartball. And its cancelled sequel, Smartball 2. It was made by Game Freak (nowadays known for Pokémon), but Smartball was published and owned by Sony. Smartball 2 was cancelled when the Nintendo Play Station project was cancelled and Nintendo said "We're going with Phillips", and this also launched the Sony PlayStation. But anyways in Smartball (or Jerry Boy in Japan) you can stick to walls and ceilings, but Wubba can take corners that "Jerry" cannot (going from ceiling to going up a wall, or going down a wall to a ceiling, trying to take this corner in SmartBall causes you to fall off) I wonder if the Wubba was an indirect jab at Sony!
So glad to see the metal mario effect as high as it is. It's nothing special in terms of gameplay but man it's brilliant to have metal mario in an electricity-based factory level. and the song is a banger too
Honestly I might like the Puffy Lift one the best. Being able to play as what is essentially just a level mechanic is so funny, and it's something you could only really do in a video game.
While I understand the thought process behind “invincibility removes the challenge”, I feel like looking at the abilities that way ignores the rest of their design elements. So, to counterpoint: “If this wasn’t invincible, would it be fun?” - Balloon: Not in the slightest. What really sells the balloon form is its fittingly-floaty controls. However, they’re also finicky and imprecise, which would ruin any attempt at ‘challenge’ that could be made. If you wanted to add challenge, you would need to remove most of the enemies, or scale back the floatiness, both of which arguably defeat the point. - Lavaproof: No, probably not. The dark-level mechanics make the fire a visual treat, but also obfuscate the platforming or enemy placement. More lighting would need to be added to make the challenge fair, but this would also take away from the contrast of the darkness and fire, and frankly that just wouldn’t be as interesting. - Freefalling: Maybe. The Special level is certainly good, but it also has the age-old problem of “enemies dropped on me from offscreen and I had no warning”, which I’ve seen 90% of players die to at least twice. I don’t think the first level would be ‘more fun’ without the stars, though - you’d either need to ditch the time-limit or make the whole segment longer. To me, the fun part is trying to hit all the enemies while you’re invincible. It’s like how that wall-jumping poison level in MM2 was a late-game stage; because that kind of challenge can be extremely frustrating to practice. I can tell that difficulty and obstacles are clearly something you value, but I feel like tagging the “fun invincible romp” powers as “terrible” is kind of harsh. We’ve all played Mario Maker 2 before, so I think we all understand how “difficult” and “interesting” are not exactly the same thing. :V
Counter-counterpoints Balloon: I don’t see why this wouldn’t be fun if you weren’t invincible. Just look at SMM2’s P-Balloon levels, you can absolutely make a fun challenge with controls like that. Lavaproof: I didn’t even know you were invincible in this segment and was able to not get hit just fine. The area is already bright enough, plus all the hazards emit a glow that can help you spot them. Really, the hazards have no point if they’re just set dressing. Freefall: You can easily make a freefall without doing a Special-5 and dropping enemies from the air. Just have some flying enemies coming at you that you have to circumnavigate. Having all of these be invincible are really just wasted potential.
@@willemklomp8178The problem is there’s no reason not to collect the stars. It doesn’t benefit the player, there’s no special reward, and the effect is clearly designed with the stars in mind.
@@danieldavid3766 My point was that the Wonder Balloon effect *doesn't* control nearly as tightly as the SMM2 one. If it was just the SMM2 balloon, then sure, yeah, it'd be workable. But it's not - it's even more slippery and floaty and generally hard to get a grip on. Without invincibility, the Wonder Balloon as-it-is would be miserable with all the enemies around. The devs decided that the vibe of "floaty balloon-iness" was more important than trying to really challenge the player, and personally I think it's perfectly fine and fun as a one-off. I do get where you're coming from with the other ones, though.
@@willemklomp8178"if you don't like the fact that the level was intentionally designed in a way that makes it piss easy, force yourself for no reason to make it harder when that shouldn't be necessary to make the level fun"
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the editing of the Jump Jump Jump section, as it beautifully cuts between the two levels while still staying accurate to the beat of the song.
Favorite Wonder Effects: Boat from Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills (this is my favorite period), Snowfall from Pokipede Pass, Dragon from Dragon Boneyard, Silhouette Stretching (Specifically in Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace because of the music), Airship Lasers from all Flying Battleships, Wacky Pipes (specifically from Swamp Pipe Crawl), Spikey Dance Number, Giant Conk, Wubba Form, and Rrumba Form.
I actually like the ones that make you invincible, the star ones are super satisfying because of the invincibility and magnet you can rush and get a lot of stuff and killing enemy after enemy by running into them is a lot of satisfaction! and the lava one makes you play the game in a very different way while still maintaining the original movement, to me they are very much fun!
Honestly the super star dash effects were some of my favorites in the game because it just feels satisfying to blaze through everything like a rocket and the feeling of invincibility is so fun
It's an excellent sign of the game's quality when I see a ranking of the Wonder Effects, think the bottom ones deserve to be higher, but then realize it's just because they're all great. The only other rankings to make me feel that way are for the galaxies in Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, my literal favorite games of all time. Also nice touch using the Tears of the Kingdom theme for the skydiving Wonder. 👀
20:09 You're correct! That's NOT him! Once the Wonder Seed is collected, you see him turn into an ordinary boo (and the crown falls off screen). Insert your own “Luigi's Mansion King Boo is the true King Boo, the ones that appear in the main series are fakes” theories here-
The "Top Down View" Wonder Effect reminds me of RPG Games for whatever reason and seeing it for the first time *in game* was a pleasantly amazing surprise to me. 😊 Thankfully I've also never watched any other trailers for the game outside the reveal one (for obvious reasons), as well as that entirely SMBW dedicated Direct, so that the surprise for this Wonder Effect (just like many others) wasn't ruined out of my personal experience with the game. Definitely in my Top 5 favorites for the concept alone, very fun and creative for a 2D Mario game.
I feel like some of the super star complaints, such as the free fall or floating wonders aren't that big of a deal cause you can simply avoid the stars if you don't want to use them, unlike in the star rain wonders
With the goomba, the impeded movement is literally the entire purpose of the effect. And in my opinion they did it really well, especially in maw maw mouthful (which turned out to be one of my favorite wonder levels, mostly because of their execution with the goomba effect). If it controlled like the goomba in odyssey then honestly what is the point? Wonder flowers give wonder seeds, which you need to beat the game but wonder flowers are also mostly not required. I think it should be fun, but it should also be more challenging than doing the normal level or you’re getting more reward than you should be getting. Same goes for the tall Mario effect, while I don’t like it as much as the goomba, its main purpose is to make it harder. While I do agree it’s more annoying than fun, it still makes it a little harder which definitely matters more than what this ranking shows. I should add though that you don’t want it to be too hard. Like you don’t want a kaizo level in a vanilla Mario game Also the dragon eel wonder effect is literally a glorified giant snake block, I’m fine with that because I don’t hate snake block levels but I do think others will not like that fact Also, having just spent over $120 total on Mario kart 8 stuff, if super Mario bros wonder adds a dlc, I swear to god I will eat the game cartridge out of rage
Ok you are the most underated youtuber ever. I have never enjoyed a ranking video so much. Mostly cause you actually are funny and its not just some dude doing a teir list for an hour and a half (although id watch that if it had entertaining elements. W vid no cap fr fr.
Odyssey Central: Why can't they use the design of King Boo from Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon/3 in other Mario games? Mario Kart Tour: What am I, chopped liver? Chopped Liver: No, that what I am.
I think that the pipes falling in Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace was the most innovative thing in gaming history and hate you for putting it so low. I was worried that my opinion could never be voiced, but thank god you said that I could let you know ow in the comments!
The falling pipes in PRP Palace are really creative! The falling pipes not only serve as a dangerous obstacle that can crush you, but the also change the path of the level!
Cute detail that you did in editing: Making the Jump Jump Jump blocks actually match the beat of the song in the video Nicely done :) Edit: AND you did the same for the Ninji one? Good stuff!
Odyssey, I have a cool video idea for you, I think the next Mario wonder video should be a ranking of all of the new enemies in the game since there are a ton of new ones
If you have an invisibility badge during the leaping smackerel level then the giant smackerel will target the cheep cheeps which I think is really funny
Personally i like the goomba transformation because it limits what you can do and opens up really fun puzzle opportunities but i respect your opinion either way
I'm doing a course of video game development, and one of our trimesters was 'Game a Week'. We basically had to make a prototype of a game inside of a week for 13 weeks straight. One of them I tried to recreate the number 1 effect here, the TopDown. There was just something so engaging about that effect that I just had to try and recreate it myself.
I get that it is stumped that they used the boring design for King Boo but I think that the cool design represents him having more power in the haunted mentions in the Luigis Mantion games rather than the normal ghost houses found in the normal Mario games (I think).
18:36 I'm sorry to be THAT guy but his name is Dark Mario according to the files, sure he works the same as the Cosmic Clone in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and 3D Land but he's not really the same entity
Now that i think on it, all the wonder effects from Leaping Smackrel, The Hoppycat Trial Hop, Hop, and Awaaay, Here Come The Hoppos, Pipe Rock Plateau Special Bounce, Bounce, Bounce, and Flight of the Bloomphs can all be grouped as one effect; Mega Enemies. Also 16:03 technically the wonder effect is the Titular "Desert Mystery" Also 20:23 that's not really King boo as after the effect goes away in both cases it's shown that the boo returns to being a normal boo the whole time
You seem to be very very invested in the challenge of an effect, which makes my thoughts quite different from yours, since I find being invincible pretty fun
This video makes me want you to do a "What if Mario Wonder in Mario Maker 3" kind of video. discusing the Wonder effects from the perspective of "Which onces would be the ones most fun to use in a level creator" sounds like an interesting concept, and the same goes for ithe various other Wonder things, like the badges and enemies
I actually like the balloon transformation, feel like it mimics the bloomps mechanics well, although I think you should've shrunk like they do upon contact with any non bloomp enemy since they bounce off of you, along with making stars less prominent.
15:55 It surprises me a lot that this reminds you a lot of New Super Mario Bros. 2, especially considering that it's a Game that doesn't really shine in nothing for being pure recycling.
The star rain effect also has a timer count down which is reset by the stars. This could be cool, but the timer is too lenient for it to matter. If the halved both the timer and the number of stars raining, I think it could be a cool and unique challenge
5:15-5:23 All of the enemies illuminate the area in some way, like the Piranha Plants spitting fire and the flame wheels... being flame wheels. I agree the invincibility is lame I'm just explaining why they're there
No it wouldn’t. All the bosses are either stale Bowser Jr. fights or uncreative run to the end “boss fights” with a random-ass Bowser head attacking you. (Though the fight with Bowser was pretty climatic, it was a shame there was no second phase where you fought the exterior castle as well, with the third phase being it chasing you through the Petal Isles and Pipe-Rock Plateau until you finally reach the entrance to the Flower Kingdom where the Flower Castle once stood and reverse the wonder effect.) ((Also Prince Florian being the true final boss would’ve been pretty cool…))
I just noticed this, but on the outro screen, it looks like the background shade of red is very slightly different than the shade of red used in Odyssey's profile picture. Now I can't unsee it.
17:10 I did this one wrong, I didn't think about the fact that you have to hit the spike ball from the side. I rolled it over the top of Mario making it harder, but I enjoyed it more when I did that.
Hope you all have a wonderful new years!!! (Get joke it’s like wonder like Mario wonder)
That joke was wonderful!
U too. Have a *wonderful* new years
Nice one dude
You too bruv!
I *wonder* how long it took to make
4:03 Disagree that the slow motion effect isn't creative, I thought it was a really clever reference to Super Mario Maker 2 online
LMAO don’t remind me……….

Okay, guys, let’s hope for redemption! If the singing Piranha Plants aren’t in the top five, you know the drill!
Here before this gets viral
Logically, we really shouldn’t like them as much as we do.
Practically, that is not the case. I will riot if they aren’t near the top

Great tier list, but you technically forgot the end credits (you have to grab a wonder flower to activate them soooo)
The TotK theme during the segment about the skydiving effect was a nice touch
Mario wonder is peak gaming.
You can literally create so many levels in Mario maker, the star rain makes the level fun to blast through

The star rain effect also has a timer count down which is reset by the stars. This could be cool, but the timer is too lenient for it to matter. If the halved both the timer and the number of stars raining, I think it could be a cool and unique challenge
My favorite one is becoming a wubba just because they’re adorable and I enjoy being a sticky little blob
Next week is the third year I am watching you. Yipiii
5:15-5:23 All of the enemies illuminate the area in some way, like the Piranha Plants spitting fire and the flame wheels... being flame wheels. I agree the invincibility is lame I'm just explaining why they're there
What a great video I hope you make an every item in Minecraft
You should make a ranking of all the bosses in Mario Wonder. That would be such a unique and entertaining video concept.
No it wouldn’t. All the bosses are either stale Bowser Jr. fights or uncreative run to the end “boss fights” with a random-ass Bowser head attacking you. (Though the fight with Bowser was pretty climatic, it was a shame there was no second phase where you fought the exterior castle as well, with the third phase being it chasing you through the Petal Isles and Pipe-Rock Plateau until you finally reach the entrance to the Flower Kingdom where the Flower Castle once stood and reverse the wonder effect.) ((Also Prince Florian being the true final boss would’ve been pretty cool…))

I waited for this ever since the game came out
I just noticed this, but on the outro screen, it looks like the background shade of red is very slightly different than the shade of red used in Odyssey's profile picture. Now I can't unsee it.
4:59 for this wonder seed, they could have had some water blob enemies that would’ve damaged you! Then you wouldn’t be completely invincible
17:10 I did this one wrong, I didn't think about the fact that you have to hit the spike ball from the side. I rolled it over the top of Mario making it harder, but I enjoyed it more when I did that.
23:21 you can just drill into the platforms and skip the whole thing
"like an enderman" broke me 😭
I mostly agree with this list it was put right really nicely.
Good to know pop quiz changes every time. Mine was super boring, the answer was in the middle every time and it made me think it was uninspired.
As someone who watched this entire video in 1 minute, i agree!
how did you watch it in a minute
@@Xtheyosh they used the speed-up wonder effect in real life
@@-Hamza right on the spot good job
I ADORED goomba! I thought it was fun!
