For me it was one of the easiest games. I too would like some different bosses and stuff but still overall really fun and they did innovate in a lot of other respects.
I really love that the game is such a joy to play. I saw an interview where the developers said that they wanted to design a Mario game where everyone could get to see all the parts of the game without being discouraged. That's very different than making a game that lacks difficulty and actually makes the game something that is relaxing to play–and something needed after covid. And also, I played this along with my kids and it has really been fun all the through so far.
WE NEED A HCG MARIO GAME TIER LIST
Did the game come with a card ? Or a pack of 3 cards ?
The game is amazing!! I freakin love 2D Mario!!! Please Nintendo never stop making them!!!!

My question is why didn't they have the game take place in the place where Super Mario Land 1 took place. You could even bring back the boss from that game to be a sub boss. Where are the Kooplings as well???? I mean Daisy is a playable character. Let her help save her own kingdom.
I enjoyed playing it, but it was far too easy and far too short, i was expecting something to rival SMW, but it didnt come close for me unfortunately,
It probably doesnt help that ive completed Holliw Knight umpteen times and still play it on the regular, and as fans of 2D platformers are probably aware, if you can beat Hollow Knight, you can beat any platformer, especially a Mario one
Love Mario. I'm excited to pick it up at some point. I tend to enjoy the 2D stuff better. I really enjoyed the Super Mario 3D World because it felt more like a 2D game.
johnny, you ought to really consider trying to unlock some of the secrets in this game! there’s a whole secret world, and world map secrets (a la mario bros world and 3)!
Loved wonder so so much! The difficulty is placed in the special world for anyone lookin. Final-Final took me a couple hours
My favorite 2d Mario game is Yoshi's Island for SNES. But I can't wait to play this one!
Who is saying this game is challenging? Most critiques Ive heard are just the opposite. Other than a handful of special levels, this was on the easier side, IMO.
Wholesome video all-round Johnny 👍
I also love Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I'm not at the end yet (savoring a few levels each day, like you John), but I'm loving every second of it. I also think it's not a difficult game, especially for Mario veterans, who have been playing since that first one, so many moons ago.
It's also totally fine for not everyone to love the cute and charming appeal of a Mario game. It's truly not for everyone. But man, these games just always suck you in, and are so well designed and polished, it's a joy to run through. And I think, even if you're totally repulsed by Mario on the simple grounds of it being too 'kiddy', too 'cute', or 'too Nintendo'… just try this one. And also try the harder 5-star levels. See the challenge in them and try to understand why so many people of all ages still dig these games.
Sure, I would also have loved more variety in the bosses. But as pure platforming gameplay goes… nothing… absolutely no other 2D platforming game series, in 38 years has ever come close to matching Mario for gameplay, polish, and charm. Which is both a sad thing, but also a wonderful thing.
This game rocked, just some pure fun
So I started playing mario wonder but then this insane game called RoboCop: Rogue city dropped and ive been hooked! maybe its only me but this robo game is pretty awesome.
I truly thought you were going to say that party guest was a die-hard Sega fan, haha! Maybe that's just the generational gap, but still really cool that they were able to just BS with you despite having a very different opinion.
Any sonic review coming?
I 1000% agree on the I wanted to see a different boss. Like you said have Bowser be kidnapped or something different like that and Mario has to fight the new bad guy on the block.
