Ranking EVERY Wonder Effect in Super Mario Bros Wonder
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 12. 2023
- Super Mario Bros Wonder is one of if not the best game in the 2D Mario series. The main reason it’s so good comes down mostly to the wonder flower and the various wonder effects. This can do anything from transforming mario into a slime, starting a pumpkin party, spawning in a lot of enemies, and more. So today I thought it would be fun to rank every effect in super mario bros wonder from the worst to the best!

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……….
My 2 favorite Nintendo CZcamsrs
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
Top 10
It’s only in the top 10! Riot!
Get the torches and pitchforks!!! 🔥☠️
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!

I also like how this one turns the talking flower things against you. Them saying stuff like "you'll never escape" was so funny.
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
hi bronze
@@tl_h_ hi ten
Imagine if peach turned into Pink Gold Peach with the effect
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!
Agreed! He seems to hate anything that reduces the challenge but sometimes you just want to feel overpowered and enjoy the vibes.
While the Star Rain is cool, all the other effects that give you stars or the invincible Lava Swim one is lame
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.
Aw come on! The Shooting Stars effect can’t be THAT bad! I think it looks pretty and it gives you a satisfying rush!
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.
Snowfall???
@@AdrianCosman Snowfall, snow falling. Same thing.
@@micahheyward5342 ik but why is that one of your favourites?
@@AdrianCosman It's simple and the aesthetic works with this part of the world.
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.
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
Especially when he was flaming the level with the lightning, like bro, if you dont like it, dont collect the stars
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"
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. 👀
"some are bound to be worse than others". the iconic voiceline
19:02 I do really like that when you hit the big pow block enough times, the mushrooms in the background will fall over. Its a cool touch
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-
Actually he screams in pain and shrinks into nothing trust me i saw it happen jk
Sad that they didn’t add an effect that turns you into Dry Bones
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.
The star effect is soo good
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
They make it very hard to, the stars move into your path and they're surrounded by purple coins
The disrespect for Goomba is insane here
YES!! I've been asking for this video for so long. Can't wait to watch it.
21:40 ,,its always halloween" - some pumpkin lorde from cirtuan game
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!
I'm excited to watch this! I always enjoy your rankings. I haven't watched this yet, but I know it will be awesome!
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.
The thing about the singing Piranha Plant wonder effect is that it's not the best, but it is peak, so it deserves to be higher
I love the hoppy cat ones. The hoppy cats are kinda cute and it’s so fun to jump up high
Nice detail playing Totk main theme for the free falling effect
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!
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!
I’m glad you are doing a lot of wonder videos recently. It’s one of my favorite games and I would like to hear other peoples opinions about it.
16:11 Like how you made sure the music in the background matched up with the platforms, just like the levels
Unrelated, it made me unreasonably happy to see you fit a Cool Bowser joke into your segment of Schaffrillas' video!
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, 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
Yo crazy u uploaded every time this year looking forward 2 200k special❤
Mario wonder is peak gaming.
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
2:23 it would be funny if this effect made your Nintendo switch fan go into overdrive
I like the speed wonder effects because... i dunno really, change is fun I guess
22:06 Wait... are you gonna make a video ranking EVERY LEVEL IN EVERY 2D MARIO GAME???
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
also goomba is very cute!!
There is no Video you upload i dont smile at. They alre always super funny and i look forward to them all, especilly the countless memes you use.
18:36 Actually, he's called Dark Mario 🤓
Happy new year odyssey ur definently one of the best content creator of the year for me :D
I feel like there's so many ideas I could be even better cannot wait to see a follow-up to this game
HAPPY NEWYEAR 🎉, Oddesey i hope you reach 200K this year
Glad to see some Pumpkin Party love, this was one of my favorite effects from the game.
I love how the Bowser world is essentially Evil Cool Bowser
You also Forgot the fact that Metal Mario Jumps Slightly lower too, adding a tradeoff to the power!
"the King Boo thing has never been done before."
Boohemoth from NSMB2 World 2-Ghost House: am i a joke to you?
Also World Flower where there's water.
@@reubensalter8125 that too.
Hello odyssey. I've been watching you ever since you had 30k subs. Congrats and your so close to 200k!
The top down effect was always gonna be my top pick ever since the game got announced. It's just so good.
This video is WONDERFUL stuff (the puns are not stopping)
You can literally create so many levels in Mario maker, the star rain makes the level fun to blast through
Hope you have a WONDERFULL new year (yes I stole the joke from you 'cause it is a 800 iq joke), thanks for another fantastic (wonderfull) video!
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.
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 waited for this ever since the game came out
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).
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
yeah same! running quickly through a level is just really satisfying.
Next week is the third year I am watching you. Yipiii
I mostly agree with this list it was put right really nicely.
I like the totk theme in #30
Great tier list, but you technically forgot the end credits (you have to grab a wonder flower to activate them soooo)
2:48 This section took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out
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.
Hey oddessy! As a suggestion, I would love to see some Mario sunshine content in the future if that would be possible.
Cool bowser timestamp (for those who’ve missed it) 2:43
This is my 1st time seeing your channel
What a great video I hope you make an every item in Minecraft
Just wonderful
The normal king boo is a lot better than the Luigi's mansion version
P.S I really don't get why he hates autoscrollers
wake up babe new odyssey central ranking dropped
13:04 looks like that old Windows pipe screensaver
you put totk music on the freefalling wonder effect? ok now that's clever
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.
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 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.
Odyssey should make a funniest wonder effects ranking
I ADORED goomba! I thought it was fun!
Not trying to question too much, but where else have music appearing platforms been in the 2D Mario series.
I love this guy
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
Bros the kinda guy who works out every second of every day not to get strong but because he enjoys pain and hates things that are easy to
I'd love if you did a mario kart character ranking. I know you practically only use dry bones but it would still be cool
Great list! I just wish you ranked the wonder effects for the bosses like bowser junior, bowser junior, bowser junior...
Don’t forget a random jump-cut between a crap ton of scenes that don’t make sense now but will make sense later like the number on Nick’s neck
21:28 Halloween 🎃 time!
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
perfect timing for my food :)
5:26 Mario would logically be superheated by the lava, and he has a orange outline, suggesting something heat related may be happening
My favorite one is becoming a wubba just because they’re adorable and I enjoy being a sticky little blob
My favorite Wonder Effect is the Goomba transformation. That's because I love Goombas
You know in the falling mario, floating mario, and balloon mario effects you can just avoid the stars. There’s nothing forcing you to collect them and it’s not like the game’s making them hard to avoid, heck in my first playthrough I completely missed the fact there were stars in those effects until they were halfway over
the airships wonder effect actually doesn't shoot on a timer, it shoots when the redical (don't know how to spell it) aims at the character
take a swig each time Odyssey Central says “no challenge” or “its an auto scroller”
They Should Have Done A Effect Where You Bounce Around Like Rimea
