      Art direction and animation is hugely important for gameplay. For me the return movement that feels like World beats any gimmick like the wonder flowers. Mario animates with crisp precise graphics just like in World or SMB3. In nsmb Mario is this smooth 3D mush that really hampers the feel of the game.
      So yes, graphical representation is very important for how playing feels in a precision 2D platformer

      That's because no one liked the Koopalings anymore. They brought them back in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and ever since than, they've been reappearing throughout most games in 2010's; mainline and spinoffs. And people are sick of them and wanted more variation of bosses. Heck. Bowser Jr. does all that the Koopalings do. So there's no point of bringing them back.

      I’d say it just got kind of commodified as some mediums do once people realize they’re profitable. There’s still tons of great games being made like this, you just have to look harder with how badly a lot of mediocre AAA want you to get their games through ads. Try to listen to a variety of opinions and reviews to determine if a game’s worth your time. If we’re talking work conditions… yeah, it can get pretty bad depending on who the devs work for.

    I have to say I love this game so far. I'm playing through it with my 6 and 4 year old and it's been a blast for all of us. The added challenge of getting through a level while keeping the 4 year old alive and not using up all our lives makes it great for my 6 year old and I. 😂 It took a while to convince him he wanted to be Yoshi instead of Mario but we did it.

Plus they can still use the power-ups and if you get struck, neither of you take damage. Sucks to not be able to use powerups, but you can collect powerups for them to use later. 😊

    I was just glad to complete this game and see that Nintendo are still capable of cranking out a FULL game that's got loads of polish. My only gripe is that the Standees need to be unlocked to fully complete the save file, I never played or intend to play online, ignored the standee shop my entire playthrough, and then figured out I had to unlock them all with flower coins. Flower coins that have a cap of 999, which you can reach before halfway through the game... so I freaking lost thousands of coins I could have used to unlock these stupid useless things, instead now I've got to grind for coins with the rest of the game finished.

Most of the Purple 10 Coins in this game are a complete joke. Then two different worlds in this game don’t even have a proper Boss Fight, and even when they do, they’re extremely undercooked. I’ll take the Koopalings any day over fighting Bowser Jr over and over and over. Plus because of the fact that you can tackle stages in any order, it really breaks the pacing of this game in half. Good pacing and consistent gameplay is very important to me and the fact that this has neither is a complete disappointment. We’re all entitled to our own separate opinions.

      Also you wouldn’t be calling out the Jr fights if they had different characters. Ok you would have still called out that world 3 and 5 don’t have one but still. I actually agree about the fact that world 3 and 5 don’t have a boss. Kinda weird

      @@sahaprocks7751 It’s only a “nitpick” because none of the previous 2D games have done that. It has always been one consistent formula where it starts off easy and gradually picks up in difficulty as you progress, with the special world having some of the hardest stages ever. I could care less that you’re able to play stages in any order during the open area sections, as long as said stages have the same difficulty rank. And even then, I would still bash on the bosses even if the Koopalings were in it, mainly because boss fights in Mario have always been pathetic since SMB1. I would also point out, however, that at least the Koopalings each had their own move set that made them stand apart from each other.

    Really my only issue with the game was the lack of bosses. All you get is Bowser Jr. And he's not even in every world. Half the worlds just give you the Royal Seed without issues. And the flying ships don't even have bosses. Jr. should have been in the ships and the bosses in each world should have been the Koopa Kids. The NSMB games had better bosses. Each Koopaling had its own fight. In Wonder, Jr. only has one fight with slight "wonder" changes to the room during the fight. I hope we get a follow-up to Wonder that gives us some bosses. There's so much here that could be expanded on. I bet there are dozens of unused Wonder effects they didnt put in the game. I keep hoping for a Galaxy 2-esque followup to Odyssey. But I think that ship has sailed. But Wonder could really benefit from one in a few years on the Switch 2.
