It's hard to even know what to say.
Super Mario Wonder is the pinnacle of the design ethos Nintendo has spent almost 50 years crafting. Every level is a different joy. The core mechanics are hyper-polished and it's fun to just move around. There's a ton of stuff to collect, many different challenges to overcome, and many different abilities to employ as you set about overcoming them. I like to write longer reviews when a game really speak to me, but I'm flummoxed here. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a game made by infinitely creative people with all the resources in the world to bring their ideas to life, and then all the time they needed to whittle and hone until it didn't have anything that didn't need to be there. I guess I'd have liked a few less textbox houses, but in the face of the awesome accomplishment that is all these amazing levels and ideas, I'd have to be a real asshole to whine about 4 minutes of dialogue skipping.
An unbelievable achievement that will be special in the hearts of just as many people as World was before it. Maybe more. It's the new top of the flagpole.
