Super Mario Bros. Wonder Review



Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks and plays like the true next step for 2D Mario platformers that it aims to be. The Wonder effects change each stage in both surprising and delightful ways, and the Flower Kingdom makes for a vibrant and refreshing change of pace from the Mushroom Kingdom. With apologies to Yoshi’s Island, Wonder feels like a proper 21st-century follow-up to Super Mario World. Reviewed on Nintendo Switch by Ryan McCaffrey.

Nintendo owns the pure FUN game market. 🎉😂 They never miss!
@blissstarzy6345 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
If they added the yellow cap different colours with different flying abilities would of been 10/10
@richardlong5928 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
I disagree. The music was excellent. Comparing it to Odyssey is completely irrelevant. Also the badges you can buy only augment levels slightly. They don’t augment skills, so creating level challenges for them would be pointless. This game is flawless imo
@rozwelljones4976 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
Just give me freakin wind waker on switch bro, damn nintendo.

Random, yes...

Might play this too.

I remember seeing this game for the first time and thinking, “Hmmmm, this is interesting” and bought it straight away. It was an act of impulsive behavior but I don’t regret it.


So when I had first played it, I was hit with a HUGE wave of nostalgia, almost like euphoria but it wasn’t, and had the feeling of being a child again. Just how I always feel when I take mushrooms. And the effects of the wonder flower made it seem like i was in a mushroom trip. 😂


So since the first day I had played it. I had only played the first level and quit because of the thought of, “What if I took shrooms and played it.”

So my roommate had trip sat me and my girlfriend and we were all bored. Then, I had the Idea, “Let’s play a game called, mario wonder,” and they had no idea what it was. So I loaded it up on my big screen and handed them both controllers. I had then loaded up a new game and I let them watch the intro and they were mesmerized, and so was I because of being intoxicated. 😂😂

As the game started and we went through, it was almost exactly how I imagined it but it was even more. I consider it to be one of my best trips so far and i’m sure it was the same for some of you who have maybe experienced something similar with the game. I was laughing my ass OFF. It hurt like hell but it felt like I was a literal child again 😂😂. My girlfriend was having as great of a time as me and my roommate was getting tripped out but all the wonder flower effects. That had to be one of the best moments in my life😂.

Overall as Ive played it more even sober, I had an amazing time every single time no fail. This has to be one of Nintendo’s greatest creations of all time. The fact it also compliments instruments too is amazing itself. This is a 10/10 recommendation for anyone. 💯💯💯
@ArvoVenkatron March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
This looks like so much fun! Like what sonic superstars was supposed to be

@judobullfrogg March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
I haven't played a mario game in years, so i looked up this review to see if I'm just missing something. This game is kinda boring to me. The levels are so short! Not looking for 10 minute stages but some of them can be finished in a minute or 2. I havent stopped playing yet but im already kinda over it. Am i the only one?
@Nintendofan80 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
I give it a 10 it is awesome video game love it .
@celestinelocsin March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
still in wolrd 2
@tikiroberts8143 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
This game is incredibly hard!
@Enan63. March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
Best 2D Platformer video game of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@SillyComments420 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
The game its a solid 7

+ Game feels fresh: wonder effect, badges and new power ups
+ Character and enemies animation brings new life to the game
+ Visuals
+ N° of stages + Hub World
+ Memorable stages
+ Characters roster

- Most challenges felt short in duration and lazy
- Some ideas or concepts felt unexploited or way too conservative
- Bosses: lack of variety
- Most badges are useless or "one timers". Most of them had no need to use them more than once or twice.
- Way to many wonder seeds given away/bought
- Standies as collectables were pretty lame
- Game is way too easy compared to Super Mario World/Mario Bros 3
- OST isnt that stimulating besides some few stages
- Multiplayer with no friendly fire 🤦‍♂️

Giving Mario Wonder a 9 its way too generous.
@CatboyyyX3 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
Mario wonder is my favorite game.
@bagabundo1015 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
Nonbinary mario 🙄😖
@louaiiskandar March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am

@SilverCali11 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
Just bought this game. Excited to play it
@darinherrick9224 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
You seen one Mario game you’ve seen them al.
@EBLOCK1995 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
lol the wonder effects are like Mario taking a psychedelic
@Tomahertz March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
This game is basically the Mario equivalent to Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas
@littlebigcomrade March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
They really need some new Mario villains. I’d like to see a Mario 2 (USA) style game.
@samjames5183 March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
This is honestly one of the worst mario games I've played.
@BoltPlagueTV March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
A higher compliment would be giving this a 10….
@NICKYG2X3. March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
looks really lame
@Nick-kz6dg March 27, 2025 - 9:18 am
