Love when they answer the prefaced question immediately in the video
Who needs a thesis anyway 😂😂
When Alex did that for their Metroid Dread preview video, I decided then and there I wasn't going to watch any more of the video and go in as completely blind as possible.
That’s cause we don’t waffle around here.
Gotta get those clicks from people
no 8😅0g6😮😮😮
Life is great when there’s good games to play like this that clearly were cared for and made for people that enjoy these games and their little secrets and puzzles
Jump Jump Jump was beyond hard for me, but I kept dying and kept trying; finally beating it was sooo rewarding!
Something that nobody mentions but is a VERY big deal is the removal of the timer. I feel like in previous games the timer became pointless, and if anything, was more of a hassle as you couldn’t take your time. I’m glad it’s no longer there.
100% agree! Hope they never add the timer back in any Mario game. It’s unnecessary.
Maybe they can add it only to one or two unique levels that take advantage of the timer to implement some cool ideas, but otherwise yeah, it seems like the timer concept overstayed it's welcome...
That never even crossed my mind. You’re totally right.
PREACH
The timer comes back for specific Wonder events which I think is the perfect compromise.
Nice to hear a resounding Alex chorus of "yes" for this game. That's an Alex seal of approval right there!
That was an Alex, Felix, and Jim trio 🎶
@@nintendolifeWhen will the trio be covering "Piranha Plants on Parade" ? 🤔

This game makes me feel like i'm experiencing childhood all over again! It's as if I were my 5 year old self was again, playing Super Mario on the NES for the first time on Christmas morning. Only thorugh this game do I realize how special that time was, and what a privlege it is to be alive during this age to experience the joy and wonders that is video games!
I receive the same feeling with Zelda BOTW, as it represents my past when i was somethign like 11 years old playing SNES Zelda Link to the Past. Only Nintendo can do this. And that's why I'm a dire hard fan!!!
If you prefer challenge over creativity, I can see why you would find it a little overrated. Considering Mario’s entire 2D legacy has been a pioneering one rather than a honing one, though, I feel like this game does exactly what ought to be expected from a 2D Mario… be insanely creative and unique.
I think it's important to keep in mind that there's a difference between challenge and struggle, and IMO this is exactly the type of game that's allowed to be a little less challenging if it means significantly less struggle.
Yeah this is how I feel personally. Most Super Mario Games are obviously meant to be easy to some extent, but this game has felt like it was made for babies so far.
Completed worlds 1-2 and I can confidently say in comparison to NSMB or Deluxe, the levels were far easier. It’s nearly impossible to fall off the map and you dang near have infinite power-ups. Idc about the exploration of levels, but with the “no time limit” + many things to collect per level, it seems they transitioned their focus in that direction.
I agree. That said, there are definitely some more challenging levels in this game as well. A couple of the five star levels almost made me pull my hair out. I died over 70 times on one of them - and I almost never die playing Mario. So I feel like the challenge is there - at least in a few levels - for those that want that, but the majority of the game does seem more focused on creativity. Which I personally love.
Modern Mario has always been easy tbf, u can easily beat the game however 100%-ing it is the real challenge.
@@benballier9580get ready for the final world then. That pretty tough
Wonder has been SO much fun! I have spent more than one entire day playing it without even realizing it's been HOURS. When I finally got my green check for "Jump Jump Jump" I actually fist-punched the air. Seeing other player's standees by the real flagpole gave me a sense of solidarity. Just playing through levels and noticing that other players were waiting and actually playing alongside me made me feel like we were working together to overcome an obstacle. I KNOW I wouldn't be as far along without other players or standees. I am going to play again offline for an extra challenge, but not anytime soon because there is a Spooky Splatfest on, boys!
I think Alex said in another video the multiple online are not realtime
@@mrlions420well he lied because I played the game and the online people are playing at the same time as you are so yes it is real time multiplayer
@@mrlions420there are realtime and sort of realtime, realtime players will see you at all times, players not in your server appear as silhouettes and cant see you till you die
I think my only issue is I want more of it. Not necessarily the amount of levels, but the length of them.
So, the best issue to have when analyzing a game, "I want more"
Oh, and the bosses are a bit underwhelming. Other than that, lovely game ❤
The bosses barring the final boss are my only real issue
I... unironically found the bosses from U to be more interesting than the Wonder Jr fights
@@OriginalGameteer I also had issue with the final boss. Bowser spends the entire game as a miniature planet/cataclysm, constantly talking about how he's charging up so much wonder power for this big, insane wonder that's going to blow everyone's minds, and all it ended up being was a kind of concert featuring Bouldergeist from Mario Galaxy and a floor that moves in time to the music every four beats. I'd been envisioning Bowser changing some of the levels across the worlds to have completely different wonders than they normally do and you have to re-complete them while, or at least have the fight be something where he throws a variety of different wonders at you and you have to use a variety of wonder flower abilities yourself to defeat him (like crash into him with the spike ball and/or do some vertical platforming to hit him from below with the hoppycap ability or something). I liked the idea of a music-themed boss and was excited to get something different from the monotone Bowser Jr. fights, but after beating it, I was pretty disappointed that THAT was the big, game-changing wonder that was the one central plot point of the entire game.
Honestly, I think the length of the game is perfectly fine. What's more to put in really?
@@jaretco6423it's not about the length of the game itself, but of the stages. On some of them, the idea is explored, evolved and changed (as per usual 2d Mario level design), but then it ends a bit suddenly. I found myself at the end of stages being like "...that's it?" very often.
Also just a reminder: this is an opinion on the internet
Usually I am NOT a fan of 2D Mario games. I'm not very good at them sure, but I just don't find them fun. So the fact that I am ADORING this game and just having so much fun says a lot in my mind. I have genuinely been having trouble putting it down. I'm about to go face Bowser, and I have everything in each of the main 6 worlds except for a single purple coin in the the Magma World KO ring. I've never had so much fun with a 2D Mario that I actively wanted to go for 100%, including flagpoles
Wonder feels like the first 2D Mario game since the very first NSMB title to really justify being another traditional 2D Platformer.
The only thing missing here is the ability to ~~kill~~ interact with your teammates.
I mean, in its defence, the Wii version at least introduced local co-op to the series. NSMB on the DS is fantastic though
@@plows2940The Wii version also brought Yoshi back which was a big deal to me back then.
And I’d got old pretty fast with the recycled music and I grew up playing New Super Mario Bros in the DS and onwards and didn’t replay the other games as much as I did the DS and lost a lot of replay value for the rest of the game series.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Fans - "Every stage is vastly different. I love it!"
Donkey Kong Country 3 haters - "Every stage is vastly different. I hate it!"
I usually don't like 2D Mario games but i loved this one
Same here, the controls are good for once
For once? LMAO. Mario games are universally known for excellent controls. WTF are you even talking about?
@@Knight5533 since when? Mario 64 and Sunshine are known for their horrible controls. I guess i don't live in the same universe as you because no, Mario games are not known for excellent controls. That's BS.
@@DukeTheDukeTheDukeTheDuke I was repyling to @6314680, not you. Anyway, Mario games are universally known for good controls. If you have to go all the way back to Mario 64 and Sunshine, you are proving my point. Obviously, games 25 years ago are not going to control as well.
@@Knight5533 play the older New Super Mario Bros. on Switch and say again you can’t tell the difference
people are overhyping this game up, I really don’t thinks it’s that good but it’s still a fun game. the thing that kills it for me was that they reduced the number of worlds to 6 and some worlds just didn’t have as many levels (world 3) specifically since it was the shortest. I do like the new animations but still feels lazy with length. I’ve been playing spider man 2 for the last 3 days now and still haven’t beaten the entirety of the game. ps5 games are just more massive and that’s what nintendo needs to do. put more effort into their games.
Honestly, this game is wonderful. The thing that keeps me interested is the wonder flower mechanic. If it weren't for that, it would just be a better looking 2d mario platformer. The badge system isn't new. Shantae does it but different. I think they're cards in that one and you gotta find specific enemies and defeat them x amount of times to get the ability card.
Nintendo has been big on DLC lately, I hope this game gets some bonus worlds that crank the challenge and unique levels to 11
Oh my!
@@stripedrajang3571 imagine if we got a mk8 style “world pass” or something… a bunch of new worlds and a developing post game (or simply a side) story over the course of the passes gradual release? That’d be the dream
Yeah, I was wishing there was a few more difficult levels. At most, it only had like 2 or 3.
It's... Fine, imo. I'm finding a lot of folks online who feel the same I do. It definitely feels like a modern 2D Mario game, but with some extra spiciness. Does that make it a lot better than the NSMB games? Absolutely. Is it one of the best games of the year? I don't really think so. But I'm only about halfway through, maybe the back half will change my mind
It doesn't fill me with the same happiness that like DKC Tropical Freeze or Celeste or Impossible Lair do, you know? It's a good 2D platformer, but it's not a top tier one
Ok yeah I agree that it’s not as good as those platformers. But it’s a damn great one. I also want to know your full thoughts after because imo, the last world is great
Literally my ONLY complaint with the game from my experience so far is the camera during multiplayer. It worked much better in the NSMB games. Not a fan of how the crown system tugs people around
Yeah, I was playing with my very young nephew at one point and it was hard to keep us both onscreen so he could understand what he was doing. Hopefully something that is resolved with updates for camera settings ^^
The last Mario game that I feel that I really sunk my teeth into was super Mario Galaxy back in '07. Didn't buy any of the new super Mario Bros games past the first one which I loved. Have Odyssey but never finished it. This game has me completely hooked.
Three worlds in (just finished the trials area) and I've gotten every seed in them so far. I think for me it's the options. You can play as anybody that you want. You can speed through any stage or take your time and use a little skill or wherewithal to find a little secret here there. Doesn't feel repetitive or chore-like. And it's charming beyond belief. Doesn't take itself too seriously but the events keep you engaged just enough to want to see more. Music kicks butt, puzzles kick butt. Visually pleasing. Sign me up for a sequel now.
For me this game was an instant buy (physical).
Stunning on a the oled switch..
I rarely play handheld but this game deserves to be played in your hands. Atleast for a bit. It just feels so right.
I personally thought it started great, became amazing in the middle, and severely fell off at the end. The final boss was underwhelming imo and the number of gimmick levels towards the end gets exhausting
almost the entire game is one big gimmick.
...isn't basically every level a gimmick level? Almost every stage across the entire game is meant to be centered around a certain concept or enemy, even before taking into account the Wonder effects
Nah the final boss was amazing
I’ve only done the first few worlds and so far it’s been ok. Definitely not better than super Mario world so far.
The influence Maker had in some later stages is felt
Nice stare pfp
It’s a really fun game. Apart from the lava world where I felt a lot of the levels were a bit unfair and artificially difficult, there wasn’t a single level I haven’t enjoyed. I’ve even enjoyed the more challenging levels (again except the lava ones) because they were genuine and exciting challenges that I got better at by playing through a few time. That’s quite rare for me with Mario games where in the past I’ve hated things like Champions Road in 3D World which I’ve still never completed.
This game is wonderful
I see what you did there.
@@mrlightwriter 😏
I just finished it and I would say its definitely good. But like TOTK....its also overrated. Its fun, well designed , and a very good Mario game. But its not ground breaking. And you can play through it fairly quickly. I would give it a solid 8/10.
I think the boss fights are the weakest part of the game. The bowser Jr fights feel just like variations of the ones in New SMB U and the final boss fight could have used more wonder crazy situations. Not to mention some worlds dont even have a boss fight
Yes, it's these problems you pointed out that prevent me from buying this game.
I mean the stages are still pretty fun, but it lacked that final challenge satisfaction at the end of worlds@@oliverhurt3418
Worlds 3 and 5 being so short and ending on nothing was a bit disappointing yeah
@@oliverhurt3418come one really? Do you really play Mario for boss fights. Anyways buy the game it’s amazing and the final boss is too
@@sahaprocks7751 I'm very picky when it comes to video games. I would have forgiven the game for constantly reusing Jr, because of how the Wonder Effects make each battle different, but having two entire worlds without any climactic finish really makes it that much more egregious for me. There should have at least been more varied Wonder Effects used for boss fights. If anything, I actually find these particular issues combined to be insulting.
The jump stage was a first time thing for me. I never realised it was that difficult for a lot of people. The Final Final stage however … that was a bish.
i have ptsd from final final stage
I thought the jump stage was the hardest thing in the game. I collected everything...and then the Final Final stage appeared. Still can't finish it.
@@chrisbutcher6840 the key to the final final stage is repetition, levels that at first seem ridiculous become easy and then the next level seems the same way. You just gotta buy 99 lives from the shop and keep grinding. Eventually you will get into a groove and you will find your way there.
My pro tip for Final Final stage is to master that first section and be able to make it to checkpoint #1 with a power up in reserve. The second section is the one I struggled the most on. Somehow my first time reaching checkpoint #2, I beat all of the last section on the first try. I guess the pressure was on and I played clutch. But yeah, just get past the first checkpoint with a backup power up and that should make things a lot easier.
For the final final, training with nabbit is better for blood pressure 😃
One can only dream that this is the template for 2d platformers going forward! I can only imagine a sequel to Wonder, and 2d platformers like Kirby, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Rayman with a "wonder flower" element. And if Nintendo can translate this to 3d games this may be Wonderful!
Actually, I find that Yoshi's Wooly World and most Kirby games do very similar level design to Mario Wonder already; it's just baked into the levels more casually.
It's not that good. Mario World 1 and 2 much better. Esp Yoshi's island has some challenge. Mario Wonder too easy, for children
I dont think it is amazing but it is kind of new paint on a old car; its oddly familiar for nostalgia but its not the same platformer which is mostly good cause its more accessible but definitely shows that I haven’t played a platformer for a long time
I have been loving this game so far! I wish though they would take even more elements from Super Mario World like the multiple secret endings to levels which would unlock secret paths and levels. I also wish the koopalings were in it since they don’t get much love.
Listening to this as I'm driving to buy the game, the answer better be yes!
feelsterrible
Love this. It's always cool to hear about other people's thoughts and experiences with this game. I'm wondering if maybe, since there are things you didn't want to spoil in this video, you guys could come back in another month or so and talk about those things? Maybe you could upload a second video titled something like, "The super spoilery things we love about Super Mario Bros Wonders." That way people who don't want spoilers can avoid them, and those who've finished the campaign and/or don't care about spoilers can enjoy listening to you rave about them. Just a thought.
Regardless, love the content. Looking forward to the next video.
This game is so so so good I swear I was smiling the entire time ! So much charm and the wonder flower moments are out of this world! Truly amazing 🤌🏼
It's great. It's what new super Mario bros should've been
The most obvious answer is 100% yes, and this game is prime GOTY material as it’s one of the best platformers and Mario games I’ve ever played. Whatever the 2D Mario does next, I hope this both sets the standard going forward and that they continue to innovate in fun and unique ways so that it doesn’t end up like how the New Soup games did.
I’m 36 and I come from playing the original NES back when I was 5-10 yrs old. Super Mario Wonder has got to be the best damn 2D Mario game ever. It’s like all of the imagination of an 80s kid come to life. Add a lil blunt to the mix and you’ll be floating in your chair feeling like you’re in the damn game when you pick up a wonder flower. Holy smokes. It’s like Nintendo said “Oh, y’all niggas thought Nintendo was dying and irrelevant? Oh ok. Y’all gone learn today”
I'm loving Super Mario Wonder, it's so fun and a bit challenging, but there's something I miss from the New series, and it's like a feeling of parkour, I don't know how to explain it. I mean, the game can sometimes be challenging, but, in previous Mario games, I feel like I can achieve great things and show off some moves, while in Wonder everything's fantastic but also very calculated, almost like if there were only one way you're supposed to play.
Anyway, Mario Wonder is something I'd been waiting for so long and I love it!
So here's a tip for some folks if you want to know if you really finish a level, check the course section on the map screen and if you see a green check mark if you do then you have acquired all the purple coins wonder seeds and the top of the finish flag you've reached.
If you don't see the green check mark then there is something you missed
I'd say the boss fights are a bit lackluster, besides the bowser fight at the end. However, that doesn't stop it from getting a crispy 9/10 from me
It’s a fantastic game, but I wish it wasn’t all right there on the surface. This game feels like it’s on rails and they don’t want you to miss a single thing on the first play through. Very few levels feel like that have real replay value. Chances are you’ve already collected and found everything the first time through. The levels are mostly very easy to finish with a few exceptions, and the game itself finishes very quickly. Most of the badges don’t really factor in, and a few of them are genuinely frustrating to use so never serve a purpose outside of its tutorial level.
There’s so much to love about this game, it just feels like the beginning of something greater that we never really got. I feel like a hater being one of the few people finding fault with this game, but it’s a compliment to the game that I see what they did and wish they’d taken it further.
My only complaint is the complete lack of story and too much Bowser Jr. I know the games usually have a paper-thin story but at least it's a story lol.
Come back in a month or 2 and tell us
Super Mario Bros Wonder is fantastic, it is that good, it has everything, it is a gorgeous looking game, playability is sublime and my game of the year.
Lol, not even close to game of the year. Not even top ten
@@michaelmeyer4682 bro let people enjoy the dang game
@@michaelmeyer4682 it’s still my game of the year.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 . U honestly think that this mediocre game is even remotely close to tears of the kingdom? Metroid prime remastered? Resident evil 4 remake? Dead space remake? Spiderman 2?
@@michaelmeyer4682 you have your opinion and I have mine and I think Super Mario Bros wonder is game of the year all the other games you mentioned are also very good. Especially Zelda TOTK.
Other then the fact its missing 2 castles, and of course missing a true world 8 its a good game
Id give it an 8 or 7
Wonder is disappointing to me… very fun but too short. Also, the bosses felt rushed, and barely any effort out into them. 6/10.
When my only real issue is that i just want more? Thats how you know this is a fantastic game
I'm roughly half way through and pretty disappointed so far. Sure there are some cute ideas but I just don't think it stands up to the recent mario games in terms of level design. The wonder flowers are fun but the rest of the worlds are too short and boring. I think 3d Land and especially 3d World have far better level design. Not to mention not even coming close to Galaxy 2.
Was at the game shop earlier than usual to pick up my copy and played it almost nonstop until I fully completed it on Monday night.
I’m like the biggest Super Mario fan, and even I found the New series a bit too samey (I still love replaying them).. so Wonder has been that breath of fresh air in 2D Mario that I’ve been waiting for.
No. It's overhyped trash that Sonic should have stomped on like he always did with his amazing library of 3D games but delusion is a powerful drug.
You’re right, Mario Wonder is supposed to be my favourite game on launch than Sonic Superstars, but in the next days long, i was dead wrong. The Opening Title Screen & Save Files was a huge step back, The badges are some useful, others are useless, more characters, but lack of unique abilities such as peach & daisy’s float jump, yoshi and nabbit are restricted to easy mode (sure yoshi & nabbit won’t shrink back after taken damage from enemy, but they won’t transform after getting power up.), power ups ranges from okay to dumb idea (Bubble & Drill Power Up are the best, But Elephant Power Up, that’s a dumbest idea, real life elephant can’t jump than other animals.), enemy rosters are awful, etc.
It’s a huge disappointment & big shame that Super Mario Bros Wonder would make a step up to be a best 2d mario game since super mario world, but sadly,
It’s not without a step down for lack of replayable.
It’s not often that I’ve wanted to immediately restart a game after I completed it despite there being no harder mode. It’s just that fun and charming lol.
It‘s a quality game. But it‘s not really *that* creative or special. Stop overhyping it.
Agreed. It’s not that great. Super Mario galaxy 1 and 2 are still better imo
It's by far the most creative 2D Mario. It's almost silly to even suggest anything else. It's also silly to compare this game against the 3D Marios, instead of the other 2D Marios.
The analogy I've been running with for how Wonder does what it does is that the stages are structured like jokes. Normal 2D Mario takes a lot of inspiration from musical scores, imo - which the pattern of the coins often directly spells out, of course. But here it's all setup-punchline, every level. I'm not sure how much this structure is directly useful long term, but it certainly works here.
*reads title* , *dislikes* , *unsubscribes* , *subscribes back to gamexplain* …I understand now
THIS IS JUST A JOKE
Im sorry, i must be in the minority but it was not good. I haven't played with multiple people but from bosses to difficulty, it was very lacking. The final level in the bonus(lol) was the only difficult level. Felt like someone in Mario maker made this. I'd much rather play New Super Mario Bros. On the WII.
The wildly different level thing started with super mario 3d world and is absolutely worth your time.
This game is good looks only. When you go deeper into enemy placements and their movement and gameplay design- most people get blinded by fun effects and animation and overlook how superficial every challenge in this game is. Every action and goal requires zero to min effort and the player is only supposed to feel like achieving something. Anyone who has played Super Mario World, SMB3 will notice this game eliminated difficulty and got streamlined so much that even 5 star levels can be finished on a first attempt. In older games I died quite often in any level because how tricky they could be. He never. Most platformers have score or time limit so you have to be really good and fast to manage exploring as well and the faster you go and more you destroy/collect-the higher your score. You had to plan your path and decide carefully where next to maintain high score. Here they eliminated it because designing a game like that requires more work and new gen developers don’t understand arcade gaming where the challenge had to be well optimised in order to keep players coming back but not frustrate too much. This is lazy gameplay design and I am honestly really disappointed to see this happen to the most iconic platformer. I started played Tropical Freeze, and it’s milion times better than this. Mario Wonder just copies DK Tropical Freeze and Rayman Legends. Also other Mario games had far more strategy even with the world map and power ups/also 3DWorld. Here there too many making the player almost invincible and there is no need to be careful-ever! This is a huge let down for a big platforming fan. I guess I will stick with Tropical Freeze or Mario Maker 2- which offer at least a decent challenge.
Look, I understand you want a challenge in this game, but I'm gonna still say that the more people that cry and complain about wanting a damn challenge so bad, especially in a Mario title of all games instead of just enjoying a game as it is for it's creativity and fun approaches then they'll only accomplish ticking off the casual community. They won't ever like this and remember that the casual audience always outnumber the hardcore players. Been hearing this excuse way too much now from different reviewers. I need to start avoiding reviews from the typical mindset of a challenge seeker that makes it first and foremost that that's all they care about. This isn't friggin' Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Lies of P, Nioh 2 or whatever souls-inspired crap that exist since it's the only games most of these hardcore players come from going into a more casual game. They always expect a high level of difficulty in these types of games. The game to ne is ok...that's it. Fun yes, but it ain't top tier. Daisy was one of the biggest reasons I got this game so now I just need to play through it. Only did like 5 levels so far. I play slow.
It’s very good for a 2d platformer. It’s very good for a 2d Mario.
But… not many people would choose this over God of War, or Zelda Ocarina of Time or Final Fantasy 7.
No. Mario Wonder is not really THAT good. It's just like the other 2D Mario games, but with more power ups and gimmicks. Been playing Mario since 1990 so I've seen it all. Imma probably grab it though, on sale. Y'all look out for that Super Mario rpg remake.
Was looking forward to this game but to be honest it's nowhere near as good as past titles sorry but it's true. Too many character chats that add nothing but filler. Boss fights no imagination rinse and repeat of several. Levels far too easy. The help items earned bring nothing really useful to the table you can just use the parachute hat and not touch and forget the rest. Graphically it's good and it's good they got rid of level timers. Overall its an ok game but WAY overrated and for me a disappointment
Nope...its overrated, not near as good as mario wii u or mario 3d world. too short, too easy (except the annyoing music beat levels) mobile like level design.
That opening "YES!" made me laugh so much I had to pause the video 2 seconds in. Well done.
I find it too easy which makes it boring.. It looks great, just easy and boring... Disappointing
I've put a couple of hours in, and it's just another mario game. I'm enjoying it, but it's maybe an 8/10 at most.
I’m sorry but I don’t like it. Me and my mates like the coin battle because it’s more competitive. But there’s no collisions and no coin battle so we haven’t even played I t
I personally like the art style of Mario Maker 2's "Mario 3D World" style way better. Wonder seems like a downgrade to me.
I thought the game was boring, and so easy at the beginning of the game. All you do is run from left to right. Sooo boring, it does look nice, buts its just borrinngg
Even the talking flowers r fun and not in anyway annoying , at least to me and that is hard to do
Most games , the “talking tutorial “ is either intrusive , repetitive or just boring
Yess. Could have ended the video right there.
it’s not that good. boss levels are a big aspect of these games. and the boss levels suckrf
They keep making the same side scrolling games over and over and over and over again
I’ll be honest I don’t like 2d Mario games but I absolutely love wonder, not sure why but I love this game a lot!
It is to me! This is the most fun I’ve had with 2D Mario in decades!
100% really that good, crazy to think Switch has the two best marios now in my opinion lol
Yeeessss…I am literally playing this game so slow cause I want to leave a little bit for Christmas. First day I played it, I’m like “yeah this game is how I saw the original in the 80s”. It’s probably because all the Mario switch games are so kid friendly, this one takes you there. Bravo Nintendo.
The music is not very memorable compared to the classics
This is exactly what I would do if I were a UA-camr: answer the question immediately, then elaborate for the rest of the video
You guys didn't talk about Daisy's new voice actor Giselle Fernandez who's non binary. What did you think of their performance as Daisy?
I feel like I'm on drugs or soemthing. Everyone around me is giving wonder like a 10/10 "This is the best Mario since SMW" and I go to play it and... it's fine. Idk the powerups feel lackluster, I really don't like the elephant, I feel like it's a power up for a 3 yo (also happens to be the only power up that transforms you into the actual animal instead of giving you a suit which annoys me). The bubble power up is fine, Idk... The powerups were lackluster for me. The music was incredibly forgettable, the hub world is as generic as generic can be and had 0 reason for blocking you from all world to begin with, it should have been W1 and directly into free roam do these in whatever order you want.
The visuals are fine but I feel like I've seen all of the level designs before in the new series just maybe with less color saturation.
Idk there's nothing wrong with the game, the wonder seeds can be charming but I often forgot them except for like 1-2 levels. The badges are a great addition for me and I think personally are the best part of Wonder.
But like all in all it's a 7/10 for me. Solid Mario that I'll probably promptly forget in a year just like the other new series games. Super Mario World or Super Mario Land series this game is not... for me. Apparently I'm the only one in the world that wasn't immediately swept away by this game though
I feel the same way. Also, the bosses are horrible. I'm not feeling this game at all. I think people are just excited to have a new Mario game, and are way overhyping it
Mario fanboyism from the Nintendo crowd is why they give it way too much praise.
I agree. This isn't a mind-blowing game for me either. It's good and has many different things, but that's it. Daisy is literally the only good thing about this game imo.
Still not a fan of the elephant. Shigsy was right again!
Its fine... I hate the change to the fire flower sound.
Yes it is
I think i used a guide maybe once or twice but I did manage to find every single level and 99% of the collectibles without any guide or online. Some of them, I am surprised I managed to stumble onto them because they get a touch obtuse. I never even turned on online for Wonder.
I truly think they saw how well received the Mario Maker games were and said “okay people are okay with wacky crazy stuff, and not just average levels. Let’s just roll with that” and that’s the main driving idea behind it. I don’t think they would have taken this big of a “risk” if those games hadent done so well
The one point I disagree on is the online breaking the immersion. One thing the game does is that the online characters in your levels are always characters you are not playing. In that way it feels like the other playable characters going through the stage with you. It makes the online feel more like "Mario and friends on a quest" rather than whichever character you happen to play.
The beginning is why you guys are a great channel.
Not because you said yes, just because y'all are real to not do the typical 'at the end' answer.
It was fun for about a week. 🤷🏻♂️
Mario Wonder is a great and super cheerful game, it is a bit too streamlined for my liking though. Everything is super quick and rather straight forward. I would rate it veryr high though even with this flaw, because there is hardly anything like this game in the gaming landscape of todays world and you can feel the love everywhere ;)
The fatal flaw of this game is how easy it is. I know most Mario games aren’t hard, but this is Kirby level difficulty. You can have it both ways, Mario Galaxy 2 had assist mode and was challenging without being too hard
with that said I have younger family members I play with and they adore the game
Overall it’s easy. But the final world level is hard. And the special level of Fluff Puff Peaks can go to hell
Im 44 and this is the best 2D Mario ever made . Does it beat Mario World yes and no. If u grew up and played Mario World when it came out then no . But in todays gaming world yes it beats it.
My kids love it , I’m having a blast with it as well. Amazing game . Full of secrets and surprises. Glad they went away from Mushroom kingdom. U literally don’t know what to expect
its good but the levels are too short!
Yes
I loved the game, but it left me with some bitter flavour.
Not because it was easy (and it was), not because was short (and it was), but because I found the badges completely useless...
After gaining the first one, the parachute one, I never felt the need to change it (ok, maybe the dolphin badge in a couple of water levels). Badges were just a "find your style of gameplay and go with it".
And ok, I'm completely ok with the game not needing the badges to finish it, but I hoped them to be more integral in COMPLETING the game. I was expecting going through a level with one badge just to realize that I needed another to reach a certain point to get a special coin or a secret exit.
Don't get me wrong, the game was AWESOME, it surprised me continuously. But I can't shake off me the feeling that it could have been even better
Yes.
Version 1.0 on the cartridge, no patches, polished to perfection. Bright and happy that makes you smile……it’s beyond awesome.
So many videos from you guys with this amazing game, that makes you wonder that you regret giving it a 9/10 insted what it really. Deserve a 10....
Had a blast with it, 100% it and stuff ...but will I come back to it 30 years later as I did with Mario World back in 92?
I highly doubt it.
The jump jump jump took me like 3 hours, I'm embarrass to even call myself a gamer.
The first 2 hours was with flutter jump I think they won't let you jump in quick succession at the final part.
