Every now and then nintendo throws out a 2D mario that follows the same platforming formula with a twist and every time it’s so damn good.

Wonder follows that exact pattern - it’s a standard 2D entry and yet, the wonder flower twist adds so much to it. Sure, there’s repeated effects, sure there’s only really 2/3 new powerups but damn I had a lot of fun with this one.

Also, some of these levels become damn challenging (maybe it’s because I played the entire thing 2 player with my partner, who is a platforming expert whilst I am not, or it just is a damn challenging - in areas - game).

More of this please nintendo!!
