Super Mario Bros. Wonder Reviews
While I have my reservations about whether or not Super Mario Bros. Wonder represents the first big step for the series away from the “New” Super Mario Bros. iterations, this is easily the most fun I’ve had with a 2D Mario platformer since Super Mario Bros. 3 (a game I hold in higher regard than Super Mario World), undoubtedly making it not only of the best games of the year but one of the best games on the Switch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the best and most elaborate 2D Mario of all time. We're quite close to the the end of Switch's lifecycle, but Nintendo hasn't slept on their laurels and elevated 2D Mario to another level.

I haven't had this much fun playing a Mario game since Super Mario World on the SNES. So much creativity went into making Super Mario Bros. Wonder whether that's all the new power-ups, the incredible level designs or the game-changing Wonder Flowers. The game is a blast playing solo but the fun is magnified several times over when you play co-op with family and friends.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a masterpiece in the 2D platforming space that showcases Nintendo’s creativity and innovation in the genre. It is an experience full of wonder, as the name suggests, and is a celebration of the Mario namesake, appealing to both fans and newcomers alike. This is a must play for anyone looking for a challenging yet charming action platforming experience because Wonder is the best Mario game in years.
Super Mario Bros Wonder is a great game for all; the wonder effects and the singing Piranha Plants are the highlights for me. It’s a game that has something for everybody: longtime fans, more casual players, and even non-gamers may be impressed with the gameplay.
Transformational, joyful, wonderful.
Well... the name says it all. It really is a Wonder.

Let me make it clear to wrap up this Super Mario Bros. Wonder analysis. This new title is not a must-buy if you already own a Nintendo Switch; it's a must-buy a Nintendo Switch urgently to get a copy of Mario Wonder.

As hard as it is to believe, it has been over a decade since the last traditional Mario 2D platformer that isn’t a re-release. Clearly, Nintendo has been biding their time as they have now given us one of the greatest entries in the series to date with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Outside of the lackluster boss battles, everything else in this game is superb and truly exemplifies what a great Mario game should be. While some people may be awaiting a follow-up to Odyssey, Super Mario Bros. Wonder rejuvenates the 2D side of the series with a game that is perfect for people of all ages and should not be overlooked in the twilight years of the Nintendo Switch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is gleaming with joy from every corner, with bright colors and expressive animations. The innovation and creativity seen in each level transcends what held back previous 2D entries, marking a new era of 2D Mario. While there's nothing here that transcends the platforming genre, Wonder is a fantastic title that any Nintendo Switch owner should grab.
Nintendo rather threw the kitchen sink (full of thousands of Post-it notes) at Super Mario Bros. Wonder, so it's unsurprising that not every element is as successful as the game's – and the genre's – best. But when you think about it, it's remarkable that, after nearly four decades, there are still new ideas left to try. The real wonder is how good Mario's latest 2-D romp turned out.
Super Mario Bros Wonder is a celebration of the iconic plumber’s journey, a testament to the enduring magic of the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s a game that pays tribute to the past while embracing the future. Mario is back, and it’s clear that he never really left.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder combines the style of the series' 2D titles and mixes it with the creativity and ambition of 3D games. The result of this recipe could not be different: the adventure is complete fun from beginning to end. Just as Super Mario World impacted generations, Wonder has the potential to be viewed decades from now with the same appreciation.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an incredible return to form to the 2D format, having coupled the usual great platforming gameplay with some of the most creative ideas in the genre in years, although the badge system was a bit undercooked it's still a step in the right direction.
