    Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a fantastic entry. It takes chances with its mechanics and feels like yet another testing ground for Nintendo to see what works and what doesn’t. It is the best 2D Mario in a long time, but still doesn’t dethrone the kings from the NES and SNES days.

    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 exactly what fans hoped for from the return of a 2D Mario franchise. The tight, precise platforming has been mixed with the wild creativity seen in the 3D exploits of Nintendo's iconic plumber to create one of the best titles of the year.

    Annoyances aside, what an experience Super Mario Bros. Wonder was. It was one of my most anticipated games of the year and certainly delivered on offering a platforming experience like no other. Here's hoping Nintendo can continue to subvert expectations because it's going to be hard to top this one.

    It is hard not to be absolutely blown away by Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It is easily the best 2D Mario in over thirty years. It does this by not trying so hard to match the past, and instead focus on new ideas and learn from how Mario has evolved in other dimensions since then

    Overall, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a must-play title if you own a Nintendo Switch. It’s tonnes of fun and has enough longevity to it with its wide range of collectibles and unlockables.

    Great Co-op Couch Fun

    Gave the game a shot out of nowhere because of the good reviews. Haven't played a Mario game in 15 years. Found it very fun to play right off the bat with a great learning curve -- manageable but never boring. I recommend it to anyone, especially if they have someone else to play it with.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder

    Honestly, ga bohong, ini game Mario Bros. pertama yang gue tamatin dan ini franchise Mario Bros. pertama yang bikin gue happy mainnya. Ada beberapa alasan lah kenapa gak bisa tamatin game-game Super Mario lainnya, but for sure setelah game Wonder ini jadi lebih terbuka dan ingin explore lagi franchise Super Mario Bros. lainnya. **STORY** Ngl, the story is very-very-very simple. Marketnya memang semua umur ya franchise game ini jadi yaaa wajar aja. Bercerita tentang Mario Bros. yang intinya ngebantu Prince Florian untuk ngambil balik lagi flower yang namanya Wonder yang seperti biasa dicuri sama Bowser dan kawan-kawan. Dengan Wonder Flower, Bowser berubah jadi Flying Castle yang dikelilingi sama beberapa Cloud Piranha yang bisa dikalahin sama beberapa Wonder Flower yang ada di beberapa World berbeda. Then you know the ending lah yaa. Simple, fun, and satisfying story. **GAMEPLAY** The legendary side-scrolling come with several unique improvement and many playable Mario Bros character. Ngelewatin beberapa tantangan, rintangan, musuh-musuh yang berbeda juga dan juga ada banyaknya power up yang gue baru liat pertama kali di game ini, kayak berubah jadi gajah, jadi drill, jadi gelembung, pokoknya lucu deh bervariasi juga skillnya. Dan yang bikin gue tertarik untuk main game ini adalah salah satunya kalo dapet Wonder Seed. Everything turn crazy like what you eat bro? hahaha kayak halu abis makan narkoboy ni karakter. **VISUAL** Colorful world makes it beautiful. Banyak banget variasi nya. Kadang lo disuguhin sama world yang sangat colorful, lucu dengan muncul karakter-karakter yang gemesin, kadang lo juga diperlihatkan dark world yang gelap tapi tetep lucu jadi enak mata, merasa terblessing. **SCORING** Beda world, backsound akan berbeda juga. Itu ngebuat pemain jadi ikutan ngerasain apa yang diharapkan dari developernya. Berasa banget intense nya jadi lebih naik lagi contohnya pas udah masuk ke stage hampir ending. Selain itu juga di saat Mario Bros. makan bunga narkoboy juga scoringnya jadi beda, berasa disuruh buru-buru gitu padahal mah harusnya bisa santai ajaa. **OVERALL** 1. **STORY -** 7/10. Simple, fun, and satisfying story. 2. **GAMEPLAY -** 8/10. The legendary side-scrolling come with several unique improvement, new powerups, and many playable Mario Bros character. 3. **VISUAL -** 8/10. Colorful world makes it beautiful. 4. **SCORING -** 9/10. Love the "Band" feel when Bowser Castle appear.

    A Surprise Hit!

    Super Mario Bros Wonder is nothing short of a delightful surprise on the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo, true to form, has once again demonstrated their knack for delivering unique gameplay elements that set their titles apart. From the very start, the game captures the essence of what makes Mario games timeless. The vibrant colors, catchy music, and familiar characters immediately evoke a sense of nostalgia, drawing players into a world that feels both new and warmly familiar. What stands out most in Wonder are the innovative gameplay elements seamlessly integrated into the classic Mario formula. The game introduces new power-ups that not only add a fresh layer to the gameplay but also provide inventive solutions to challenges. It's a testament to Nintendo's creativity that they manage to keep a decades-old formula feeling innovative and exciting. Level design in Super Mario Bros Wonder is a true highlight. Each level feels meticulously crafted, offering a balance of accessibility for newcomers and challenges for seasoned players. The game strikes a delicate equilibrium between guiding players with familiar elements and surprising them with novel twists. The controls, a critical aspect of any platformer, are responsive and intuitive. Nintendo has a knack for ensuring that players feel in complete control of Mario's movements, a factor that contributes significantly to the game's overall enjoyment. The incorporation of multiplayer, a feature increasingly synonymous with Nintendo's flagship titles, adds another layer of fun. Whether playing cooperatively with friends or engaging in friendly competition, the multiplayer component enhances the game's replayability and social appeal. It's worth noting that Super Mario Bros Wonder leverages the Switch's hardware capabilities smartly. The transition between handheld and docked modes is seamless, and the game's visuals maintain their charm and clarity in both configurations. While it might not revolutionize the platformer genre, Super Mario Bros Wonder doesn't aim to. Instead, it builds on the series' strong foundation, infusing it with creativity and charm. In a market sometimes saturated with complex narratives and hyper-realistic graphics, Wonder reminds us of the pure, unadulterated joy that comes from a well-crafted Mario adventure. In essence, Super Mario Bros Wonder is a testament to Nintendo's ability to consistently deliver experiences that appeal to a broad audience while retaining the magic that has made Mario an enduring icon in the gaming world. For Switch owners, it's another must-play title that cements Nintendo's reputation for creating games that truly stand the test of time.
