I have certainly enjoyed the NSMB games since their inception on Nintendo DS, but I must admit that Wonder had surpassed those games in virtually every way. I felt a sense of whimsy and joy playing Wonder that took me back to the days of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. The game is packed with secrets, filled with challenge, and entertained me for hours. The pacing, the graphics, the controls—this is a masterclass in game desing. Wonder has reconfirmed for any doubters out there that the Mario brand is still brimming with potential for new gameplay ideas. Wonder is an essential game for Switch players that is highly recommended.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder will surprise you at every turn and is one of the best 2D Mario games alongside Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3. It's the visual refresh, the exciting new ideas and the polish we've needed for a while. If only there were an adjective to describe it in one word.

My first game is this genre. At first, I was skeptical about this game, but it's worth every cent

Mario is back with his best 2D adventure since Super Mario World. Fun, surprising and beautiful, it’s one of those game you cannot miss.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder implements the recent trend of adding adventure elements to the 2D action genre. The Wonder Flowers cause surprising twists and the new multiplayer contributes to making a new 2D Mario adventure feel fresh again. That being said, we would have wanted Super Mario Bros. Wonder to feel even more wondrous.
While it doesn't break the mould like its predecessors have, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the perfect refinement of 2D platforming, and one of the most polished and engrossing games you'll play all year.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder certainly lives up to its name by offering a spectacle-filled and simply magical experience where you never know what sort of clever twist will pop-up next. Plus, it has a surprising level of challenge for anyone wanting to test their platforming skills.
It is a game that tries to evoke a feeling of discovery at every possible turn, but in doing so loses the element of wonder fairly quickly. Instead, Wonder's strongest moments are when it takes a breather, taking the time to set the scene while letting the platforming do the talking.
In all my years of playing platformers, I never thought that anything could of surpassed the likes of Celeste or Rayman legends… until now.

Este juego me dio muchas sonrisas que no pensé que me hiba a dar. En de verdad es un clásico moderno.

In almost every way, it’s better than its “New” predecessors, but for the entirety of my 10 hour play-though, one thought persisted in my mind—I’d rather be playing Tropical Freeze.

Maybe it's because I grew up in the 80s and 90s and remember how perfectly fun and difficult those early side scrollers were and how accomplished a felt at beating a level, let alone the game.
This game is the opposite of that. Literally nothing is difficult to the point that it feels like you are just going through the motions. Mario was never about story so having essentially no story and levels that are, while graphically interesting, ultimately boring af, means that I can't give this more than a 4/10. Playing with my husband after taking a gummy maybe I could bump it up to a 6/10 .temporarily. But that's because we are fun, not the game.

It's too easy. We need challenging Mario games again like the first Mario Bros on NES and MarioSunshine on GameCube.
