- Super Mario Wonder
Ah, finally got another 2D style Mario and I absolutely loved it. All the level designs were exceptional, even if some of the portions made it feel like you were on something or that you were having a fever dream. Whether it be singing piranha plants, pipes that move like worms, each wonder flower made some levels feel interesting. As well, some of the difficulty of the levels made for a more fun, yet challenging experience, alongside the multiplayer aspect. The one level where you have time your jumps with the rhythm of the beat took me a long while, as well as the final level where you use all the badges you earned throughout game.
Only thing I didn't care for as much in Wonder were the boss fights, just felt they could have been done better, but I didn't really care as much about that honestly.
Overall, I absolutely loved Mario Wonder and would heavily recommend giving it a shot if you love Mario or platformers, also give the piranha plant song a listen because it's kind of a bop
