Man i love this game so much! Going back to play this and it still has a consistent player base. That alone shows how many people still rock with this game. Recently, got final fantasy last month and I can't play it because I got addicted to this again. Its just so fun with friends and just being in the world of Star Wars again is always going to be exciting. That is the selling point of what makes this game so fun. It always make me wonder how this game would of turned out if Dice continued to support it... Adding new heroes/villians, maps, and weapons like their last big update... One of my favorite multiplayer games along with Halo 3, GoW 3, CoD BO2, and L4D2. Easily playable if you get Xbox game pass. Would highly recommend.

Mario platformer games are the best! It is such a good game and I decided to play a good portion of this game with two players. Enjoyed it but I don't think it is a good experience compared to one player because it really makes it less challenging. I always respect the old Mario games to have challenging levels. Super Mario Bros. 3 being one of them. And playing this with friends/family takes that away. You don’t have to worry about your lives falling short because both players have to die. It allows the player to approach an obstacle recklessly knowing too well that there are no repercussions from dying because the other player can revive you. It would have been better if the game didn't revive you instantly until the other player arrives at a flag-checkpoint in a level. This also makes ”the shop” when buying mushrooms and other things kind of useless because you aren’t losing lives in any way. Moreover, when grabbing a “Wonder Seed” in a level, it changes the level in drastic ways and some of these “Wonder Seed Events” are not that enjoyable with co-op because some of these “Wonder Seed Events” are fast paced and the camera only pans towards to one player. Making the experience hard to navigate.

In the second portion of this game, I played it by myself and the experience was wonderful. At first, I thought the game was good but it became better with single-player. It is more punishing. No longer having a teammate, made me realize once I lost all my lives in one of the levels it took a good portion of my “flower coins” (money to use at the shop). It made me more cautious but moreso, made the game much more intense! Besides that, the levels are so creative and the ideas the developers throw out on how to progress each level always feels new/different. Overall, I think this is the best experience to play Mario Wonder because I feel that is how the developers wanted the players to play. I feel the addition of co-op was this incentive to promote family co-op games and that’s just it. Playing with more players is fun but it is not amazing compared to enjoying this game solo.
