Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Thread starter winstein
- Start date
A few thoughts:
1) it seems based on the "Runized" version of New Super Mario Bros., with playable Peach and Daisy (and colored Yoshis too, apparently)
2) but boy, is it much more lively in both the animations and the atmosphere! Those loudspeakers seem to be the new "defining trait" of the game, and there's a lot of wackiness that even surpasses the Yoshi platformers! And even the UI saw a revamp! Finally, something really new!
3) normally, the 2D Mario powerups don't change Mario, only his clothes. Here, the elephant powerup changes Mario but not his clothes. Weird (well, ok, not so much if you're a Super Mario Galaxy fan, but still)

very lively and colourful aesthetics, which is where i think a lot of the positive reactions i see for this game are directed. interesting power-ups too. that said, i think the level design looks pretty vapid.
i spot a unique-looking toad NPC on the pink world map and at the end of the trailer though

Daisy's playable!
It's her first time on what's arguably a mainline Mario game. No the mobile autorunner doesn't count in my opinion sorry.
Nintendo missed a huge opportunity to have her be the face of this game.

- Many of the playable humans do have their own titles. Luigi's got his ghost busters series, Wario's got his microgames, and even Peach has her own spin on adventure games (I'd say the perk for hers' is that she has a utility of powers at her disposal, as opposed to picking up powers 1 at a time.) Then there's even the non-humans Toad's adventure puzzles, Donkey Kong's slightly more difficult sidescrollers, and Bowser's brute rpg. Yoshi took the genre of 2D explorative collectathons, which was originally for Wario but not anymore.
- Daisy's in need of a theme refresh. She originally started on the GB game Mario Land, as the princess of a foreign kingdom to rescue. She was later rebranded as a tomboy who loves to party and sports, Nintendo completly erasing her kingdom from our eyes. Although they will occasionally mention it in her bios, we really don't ever see it again. So, let me reiterate, she's a foreign princess and a tomboy. This new game coming out, is of a foreign land with a whole new artstyle. It could have been her retcon she oh so needs.
- Tomboy who shows up to partys and sports is fine as daisys, but what I got a problem with is she's being given the Waluigi treatment, despite her origin coming from a mainline game as opposed to an extra for a tennis spinoff. Anyway I know it won't be happen, but I sure wish it would.

ah, that explains a lot--including, but not limited to, the random array of pipes in the trailer
the signature of their masterful level design

I will say it looks trippy as f*** but should be much better than the New Super Mario Bros games

"Safe" is a word that cannot be applied to this game in any sense of the word, and you have no idea how happy I am to be saying that about a new 2D Mario game. Very curious about that "Dark Bowser Jr" and the unique Toads

i think the actual elephant in the room here is that THE TIMER IS GONE (outside of a particular instance that looks like some sort of minigame/timed challenge)
the score too i guess. i like that the game is doing away with the arcade trappings that 2d mario games held on to for so long, albeit extra lives still seem to be a thing.

What unique toads? The toads all look the same to me. Unless you mean that thing that comes out of a house near the end but that wasn't a toad.
