Super Mario Bros. Wonder Review

- Mario Bros. Wonder single-handedly makes the case that 2D Mario shouldn't be relegated to second-tier status in the modern Mario canon.
Whether Nintendo intended it or not, conventional wisdom tends to sort modern Mario games into something of a mental tier list. The 3D Mario games like Galaxy and Odyssey are the flagship mascot platformers, and 2D Mario games like the New Super Mario Bros. series are somewhat lesser retro throwbacks. Still good, dependable, but less prestigious. It's after years of 2D games languishing in understudy status that Super Mario Bros. Wonder takes center stage--and it delivers such a knockout performance that it makes the argument, implicit or otherwise, that 2D Mario games can be just as vital to the medium as their 3D siblings.

This is what happens when you don’t rush a game just for profit. A Masterpiece.
Dude, how many Mario Games have they made?
You would Hope they figure it out by now.. it better be good.
They've had plenty of practice by this point.
The elephant looks dumb.
..there are no differences in character skills?
Peach can Wall Jump? That's weird.. why did Mario have to save Her So Many Times if Peach had all the same powers as Mario?
Not very Cannon, if you ask me.
Peach was just using Mario all these years? She could have got out of all those castles on her own this whole time?
Mario is a Simp now. 😂
@@Defooriginalyoure lookin too deep
I'm sure they profited
eww this was no masterpiece..lol the powerups were lame a dam elephant lol worst mario ever for me.
This feels like the first true post Super Mario World 2D Mario game that is finally able to escape from the comparisons of its predecessors and actually dared to not be a successor but actually evolve. In turn, they ended up creating another genre defining game like that 1990 classic.
New super mario ds was as revolutionary as wonder, but the following games were just the same só we feel like ds is the same as them so its not revolutionary, but it is not true
This game makes you FEEL like Mario... It has a little something for everyone.
@@albertooliveira4227yeah I totally agree with this! That “New Super Mario” game on the DS was the last time I can recall being truly satisfied playing a 2-D Mario game and feeling like it was moving in a new direction.
But then it’s honestly felt like every subsequent “traditional” Mario platformer since then has been some lesser clone of that game.
Bruh it hurts having all consoles. This game and Spider-Man 2 is gonna hurt my wallet but it will be worth it!
Had to pick it over Spider-Man till it's cheaper
Same! Friday will be nuts
As an adult with a decent job I am
Finally at a point where I’m fortunate enough to have all consoles and a decent PC but now its a time issue due to professional commitments as well as social and family commitments. I almost miss having one console and all the time in the world haha
I was thinking the same thing. Between this and Spider-Man 2. Ouch! But so worth it!
Gonna Cry?
I was already planning on getting this when I heard they were doing a new Mario game because I figured it’d be fun regardless. The first trailer blew me away, and this review makes it look like it lives up to expectations. Can’t wait!!
I’m very happy to see some flair and creativity back. I bet they can get even crazier next time.
A 9 from Gamespot is actually a 10 somewhere else. Amazing game
Don't worry about a score/number, it's just a number, the game looks great and fun.
It’ll be nominated n likely win family game of the year don’t worry
I heard him do nothing but praise it but it only got a.. nevermind
@@varkin794play Golem or Redfall then
A score from any games journalist is pointless.
At least you didn't complain that it wasn't a new 3D Mario like IGN did.
seriously? they did that?
They didn't complain... And they gave it the same score. I swear people just find a reason to bring up IGN & complain no matter the situation...
There is a good deal of attention in this review to what has been only loosely brushed on until now. The badges/course types, and how the multiplayer online is varied and can flavor up your experience. I still wish you could jump into the same course and not be shadows, but the other examples for standees as hints or seeing people dash about is cool.
I had already settled on playing this lights out, no features, but I may check it out or do it on a repeat playthrough.
mario has the most perfect run animation i've ever seen in a videogame
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
It is resplendent, it feels like a proper sequel to Super Mario World.
imo it doesnt feel like super mario world but its not a bad game there are somethings if I was a kid I know I would love but theres something missing about some of these stages id probably give it an 8. Its very easy but I know why they want very small children to play this but even the 5 stars difficulty are not that hard.
Resplendent - what a great word ☺️ take a cookie 🍪
@@ACameronUK Vivacious!
@@DistinctionDinothat’s good that it doesn’t feel like super Mario world, the original Mario series always innovated up until the New Soup series which felt soulless by comparison. This is the first 2D Mario sequel that feels fresh since Super Mario World.
Mario Maker is great as well but I consider it more of a spinoff and it is built on reused assets from past titles.
feels like a super mario land game imo...not a bad thing.
Can't wait to see speedruns of this game 😅
Now we just need a new Wario Land game
I just saw something in the news about one soon
Hopefully we can get something similar for Star Fox, we haven't had a true evolution of Star Fox 64 really. I would love a more modern take on Star Fox to be taken into consideration by Nintendo and make a game that not only has more playtime but is richer in story and maybe has something like arwing customization? Maybe center the game around a campaign with added gameplay styles for flavor like the early ratchet and clank titles and some more advanced multiplayer like the game Strike Vector.
Mario bros wonder is tough.. OLD SCHOOL TOUGH
Kojima's vision of STRAND GAMEPLAY is living on as STANDEE GAMEPLAY
Gamespot: toad and Luigi play identically
Me: toad has a smaller hitbox
Good review, but why is it now that Gamespot reviews are mostly narrated by people that didn’t review them? It’s just strange.
Rightful successer to Super Mario World? Bold words... Instant buy for me!!!
This is the 3rd major review I’ve watched who has made this claim.. so yup I’m hyped
Yeah I heard that, sold me.
SMW was the very first game I have played at age 3 and forever my favorite. Having completed much of Wonder, I can vouch that it is absolutely so. Especially in movement and visual identity.
@@DrakesdenChannel same here... That Christmas morning when I got my Super Nintendo was very magical.
@@DrakesdenChannelSo you feel it's decent to compare it to Mario World?
I really wish the next excitements were coming sooner after the exciting Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Life will just keep getting better and better.
I have been trying it and it’s so good. It feels way better than any previous 2D Mario games to date.
I love how this game is playable for both kids and parents together. If there is a bit that my 7 year old is getting frustrated by I hop in as Yoshi and let her hop on my back letting her do the attacking and coin grabbing. The special world challenges are hard as nails but don't have to be completed giving dad a nice late night challenge.
It would sick if they added Cappy and FLUDD to the game as DLC badges. I mean they already have a water mechanic with elephant and then with cappy you could use it like the bubble mechanic and also take over enemies 🙏🏼
I agree, kind of a missed opportunity.
🤮
I love this game. It breathes new life into 2D gaming. It is like Yoshi's Island.
Ooh, finally -- a proper sequel to Super Mario World. That game is a tough act to follow so im glad Wonder was able to get back to the high creativity 2D glory days. I haven't played any 3D Mario games because it doesn't interest me enough as a proper 2D one. Game of the Year nominee right here for me.
Unfortunately it doesnt hold a candle to mario world. Music is bland and no real yoshi gameplay. Alot of lacking things in this game but its really fun
@@WeirdEdz you havent played it
Super Mario World came 21 November 1990... That's 33 years to make a true successor
Picking up both tomorrow! Mario for the work commute and when friends come over, and spiderman for the couch 😂 😂
Glad to see game spot enjoying such an "Old school tough" platformer.
it isnt tough lol
This is probably the easiest Mario game ever made
For reference, he's joking about the review of gamespot for new super mario wii, when they called the game "old school tough"
@@ngwoo you have not played the other mario games if you are seriously saying this
The new abilities remind me a lot of Rayman Origins
I wished each character was already equipped with a badge that represents the characters from Mario 2 that can be swapped with something else so they are still equal in gameplay.
All the wonderful things you've said about it, I'm surprised it's not a 10/10.
If its a mainline Mario game, its going to be great.
How many levels is it?
Glad to see both our heroes in Red had amazing games this Friday. Mario and Spidey for life ❤
just got it. its gift wrapped in my drawer waiting for christmas where my daughters will hopefully be delighted. I can't wait to play.
Can you play it local co-op? As 2 players or?
Seems so. Theres both online, and offline multiplayer.
Say yes to drugs!
I'm just here to remind everyone about the tropical freeze review.
My son and I just started this game and it is really fun. I feels fresh and new yet nostalgic
Awe shucks, I wanted to play as Yoshi, but not in the easy mode haha.
Oh well! I'll be pickin' this up no question.
No Charles Martinet no game sale!!
So many playable characters... and half of them are toads and yoshis.
Just preordered mario wonder and spiderman 2 today haha
The Mario 2 movie now has a new location Flower Kingdom to explore if wanted.
this game should get major points docked off it for its horrendous "boss" battles...
I want them to go the Super Mario 2 route and have the characters play different. The next entry is going to be awesome.
I've played Super Mario Bros since the beginning yesterday, Super Mario nowadays is very different.
They literally are in-sync with ign last couple reviews COME ON
Great game. Good review
Mario wonder is tough. Old school tough.
Never had more fun playing a mario game since super mario world in the 90s. This new sidescroller imo is > than every third person mario game.
This is a 10.... it's almost impossibly good
This game feels more refreshing than the New Super mario Bros. Series.
“The exact scientific effect of wonder flowers are never properly explained…”
Gosh don’t you just hate it when Mario games don’t explain the science??!?!
Man up Nintendo. Tell us how he jumps so high.
I hated all the 2d games after super mario world, until super mario wonder, which i’m now addicted to just like i was super mario world back in the day. Amazing game.
A must buy for the platform
I don’t need it, I don’t need it, I *definitely* don’t need it
Just glad nintendo actually put some effort into 2d mario again😊
Unfortunately I have to wait until my birthday to get this game my birthday is 2 months away but I will enjoy the heck out of it once I get it on December 3rd super excited to play this on my birthday
Can’t believe this guy was putting down 2d Mario games
Seems like New Super Mario mixed with Rayman Legends
Should I get Odyssey or Wonder for co op couch play?
Wonder. Odyssey is mostly a single player experience.
@@Leolimalps Thanks 😊
Personally, ‘flattening’ character abilities was a welcome return to the mechanics and feel of SMW. It’s one of the things I like about CTR. I can keep my aesthetic and statistical choices separate. There’s something to be said for the opposite, too. My fine-tuning in Mario Kart 8 leads to some hilarious and bizarre builds.
strand-type mario game
That's a raving review.
What a year for gamers..
Why nobody talks about how short the levels are?!
I'm sorry, but I saw a hoppicat Luigi standee that's probably a wonder effect
For switch to be at the end of its life nintendo has given us 2 classic this year
That's a huge 9, was thinking a good 8👍
its almost here!!
When a 2d Mario game gets higher meta critic score than starfield 😂
As a person who has played both, I have never found as much joy playing starfield as I have for this game. Starfield feels like a complicated checklist, this feels like it was made for fun. But to each their own I suppose
@@bloodofdepantaI knew what Starfield would be the moment it was announced, a soulless cooperate game made to capitalize on the modern gaming market composed of either dumb people or man children who will literally buy anything. Not saying that’s what you are, but for the most part, I was right hahaha
I don’t have an Xbox, I don’t have a PC but any gamer knows pretty much any Nintendo Mario game is going to get an 8 or higher. These are two completely games
And Spiderman 2 😂
@@omnis1182 I used game pass lol
Thats why I'm back on gamefly
I just don't care about games anymore, but I would have LOVED this when I was a kid
2023 is the best gaming year ever
while i already have my heart set on spider-man 2 this friday, definitely looking forward to picking this up sometime later
This is why i love Nintendo!
It's like Mario took acid.
Bro, it’s no even out for that much time
wonder looks really cool but in my opinion it's nothing compared to odyssey which was amazing
well theyve done it again!
This game was fun. Best 2d Mario to date. Very difficult levels that I almost rage quit over. Lol but what Mario game doesn't do that? Still think Mario Odyssey is the best Mario game to date.
I wish i spend more hours to play kinda short for me only one day😢
2D controls are tighter in my opinion.
For me this is mario i love this game
Bro said genuinely challenging 💀
No floating Princess or fluttering Luigi?
Not cool.
The game still looks amazing and I'm still going to get it, but we should have a fluttering Luigi and floating Princess.
You can still have fluttering luigi if you use the high jump badge, tho i think the characters being the same is a good change
@@Ohthatguy64
I just got that badge yesterday.
A lot like Luigi's jump.
Wonder >>>> Spidey 2
My kids have been eagerly awaiting this game since its preview. Nintendo struck a grand slam on this gem for its true target audience.... the kids. As a Nintendo kid myself during the 80's it'll be a exciting "blockbuster" evening grabbing the popcorn and watching the kids play. 🎉
Wait, why does the review start out comparing 3D and 2D Mario games? He starts trashing recent 2D entries before somehow being amazed that “2D Mario games can be just as vital to the medium as their 3D siblings.” Bruh?! You are comparing apples to oranges. In this case, adding another axis of movement to a Mario game both changes its genre somehow reveals your bias against their 2D counterparts.
Welcome home Nintendo!
honestly, I never liked any of the 3D mario games. I don't know why, maybe because of DOOM and Unreal setting my expectations or maybe it's because nostalgia from the 80's that I can't get past. I'm just glad to see 2D platforming getting some attention again. Whatever the case, Wonder is a great game and I'm hooked.
Sounds like i better pick this up
Same
No bugs on another Super Mario game? Disapointing :P
Basically Kirby....but with Mario characters....same game play.
Not really..give it a try, then rate it
They gave it a 9/10
Better than spiderman
@@pessiescobar4707
Score wise yes
Although both games are very different types. One is a 2D Platform Game while the other is an Open World Adventure Game.
@@pessiescobar4707how many people actually think this is better than Spiderman tho 😉
The game is fantastic but way too short! They should have expanded on all those new ideas. One day in and close to 100% clear
How many hours played?
Around 6 max 8 hours @@Reb3nga
chickens out by not committing to 10/10 after praising it as the greatest 2D mario ever. Smh
Right like what was the-1 for? They didn't give a sucker negative besides the lacking of the reason behind why they had to do the skins the way they did with the characters cuz it's so online they didn't want it to be not fun if say 1 characters were way popular and the others weren't then everyone would always pick the toad 😂 so they had to j use the badge system which not only innovates and doesn't matter how u look but makes it so everyone can choose they own ability without it being locked out I see it as a positive that keeps the game going on an online world maybe playing it as solo expected to get a different experience but it not like they can't still do that just now by choice of badge so idk if it is even a negative my only gripe is 60 bucks man in this economy lol
Scored better the Spider-Man 2…. 😏
Mario just went FromSoftware for multiplayer 😂
Wow. Nintendo really needs a new console.
2024
Sony and Nintendo always good 1st party games ❤
Amazing talent on both, truly making art in the playable form
