The level design is as imaginative as always and like it's never been before. No one in the world can replicate this. The current title benefits from moving to the Flower Kingdom, where all of the main six hubs and dozens of levels have different rules than in previous games. Got a Switch? Get Super Mario Bros. Wonder. [Issue#331]

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the Mario game we didn’t know we wanted. This long-running series is no stranger to new mechanics and Wonder adds to the list with a completely fresh take while staying true to its roots. Simply put, it’s a joy to play.

I have certainly enjoyed the NSMB games since their inception on Nintendo DS, but I must admit that Wonder had surpassed those games in virtually every way. I felt a sense of whimsy and joy playing Wonder that took me back to the days of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. The game is packed with secrets, filled with challenge, and entertained me for hours. The pacing, the graphics, the controls—this is a masterclass in game desing. Wonder has reconfirmed for any doubters out there that the Mario brand is still brimming with potential for new gameplay ideas. Wonder is an essential game for Switch players that is highly recommended.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder will surprise you at every turn and is one of the best 2D Mario games alongside Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3. It's the visual refresh, the exciting new ideas and the polish we've needed for a while. If only there were an adjective to describe it in one word.

one of the most fun and creative mario games ever made, the fact they got as much free time helps as well, it's one of if not the best 2d mario platformers

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is surprising, creative and at the same time a worthy, two-dimensional sequel to Super Mario Odyssey.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder implements the recent trend of adding adventure elements to the 2D action genre. The Wonder Flowers cause surprising twists and the new multiplayer contributes to making a new 2D Mario adventure feel fresh again. That being said, we would have wanted Super Mario Bros. Wonder to feel even more wondrous.

While it doesn't break the mould like its predecessors have, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the perfect refinement of 2D platforming, and one of the most polished and engrossing games you'll play all year.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder certainly lives up to its name by offering a spectacle-filled and simply magical experience where you never know what sort of clever twist will pop-up next. Plus, it has a surprising level of challenge for anyone wanting to test their platforming skills.

It is a game that tries to evoke a feeling of discovery at every possible turn, but in doing so loses the element of wonder fairly quickly. Instead, Wonder's strongest moments are when it takes a breather, taking the time to set the scene while letting the platforming do the talking.

This game is one of the best I've played lately, the design of each level, its music, and characters are beautiful

This game finally makes 2D Mario feel like a new game again and has a lot of cool new mechanics and unique things in each level. Tho personally I wouldn't consider it anything too crazy. Also the bosses are incredibly lackluster and disappointing.

Good game, way more stylish than the New Super Mario Bros series, but overrated in my opinion.

It's really for kids, even more so than previous 2D SMB games. For anyone over maybe 12, it's too easy, too cute, too pre-school color palette. Hopefully not the new standard for the 2D Mario line. I gave it a 4 because it's not objectively an awful game for everyone, again, kids may enjoy it.
SummaryFind wonder in the next evolution of Mario fun. Classic Mario side-scrolling gameplay is turned on its head with the addition of Wonder Flowers. These game-changing items trigger spectacular moments you have to see to believe...Witness pipes coming alive, wreak havoc as a giant spiky ball, and see even more unexpected events called Wonde...
