Super Mario Bros_ Wonder - Makes Mario TRIPPY Again!
so I'm going to do a video on Super Mario Brothers Wonder not really going to be a review as much as just my thoughts on Super Mario Brothers wonder why cuz I want to be a little unconventional about it got to change it up here I suppose my reviews are just generally my thoughts so it's not that different but for game reviews I like to show footage of me playing the game but my my capture device just kind of ate [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] and died so I won't have video game footage for you on this one also Nintendo has been notoriously horrible when it comes to YouTubers using video game footage of their games and copyright strike it it's messy it's really ugly well has been in the past anyway supp I didn't need both explanations one or the other would do so yeah video capture device eight [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] I want to talk about Mario Wonder so I'm not waiting to get another one plus if you know a good one can you comment in the comment section below let me know that's right no gameplay footage just the general UNS soothing nature of my voice to hold your attention we're going old school YouTube with this one so Super Mario Brothers Wonder came out the same day as Spider-Man 2 and I was like obviously I'm playing Spider-Man 2 I knew so many people who were like Mario Wonder so how you liking Spider-Man 2o I don't know I'm playing Super Mario Brothers wonder I was just like he's a [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] Twilight so after I finished Spider-Man 2 I was like what else oh yeah I got Super Mario Brothers Wonder let me check it out I get it by the way I get it history will probably not remember 2023 as the year Mario is just crushing it with his $1.3 billion box office revenue for his film and his 2D platformer which elevated the game of Mario 2D Platformers nonetheless that is what happened in 2023 see I played Mario Wonder at Pax West but it wasn't enough it was just a demo it wasn't long enough for me to actually get what the chatter was about the chatter the hype people being like it's like Super Mario World and I was like well yeah there are those instead of Hills they kind of slanted platforms of land yeah it's kind of like Mario World but that's not what the mario world comparison is as much as Super Mario Brothers wonder doesn't try to emulate or be Super Mario World I do get the comparison that Super Mario Wonder feels as unique a 2d Super Mario experience as Super Mario World does see back when the 2D Mario games were just what Mario games were Super Mario Brothers Mario Brothers 3 Mario World so they did push boundaries they did break new ground then this is kind of something the 3D Mario Brothers games did because Mario games were now 3D then new Super Mario Brothers came out for the DS it was a throwback to 2D Mario games we all love a nice throwback but the 2D Mario games that have come out since Super Mario Brothers that Dawn the new Super Mario Brothers title they don't feel new they just kind of they feel like new Super Mario Brothers again just kind of felt stale and stagnant new Super Mario Brothers sidescrolling Platformers were not breaking new ground they were just kind of living in the past Super Mario Brothers Wonder changes all that yes luckily for me there is still trailer footage that I can and will use it was readily apparent right out the gate when I was like all right what's my time there's no timer that there's no timer in Super Mario Brothers Wonder amazing such a simple thing to remove from a Mario game that just makes it more enjoyable a timer in a Mario platform is just a relic of a bygone era no timer means you get to explore to your heart's content enjoy being in the world you're in it takes Mario from being I got to rush to the flag pole as quickly as possible to now I'm exploring and that's just fun to do also the wond seeds most any level in the game I mean there are levels that are you got to take out all the enemies among three rooms those don't have them but the levels have these W seeds they're hidden you get them and something happens I say something happens because that's the most accurate description I can give better phrased I never knew what was going to happen again that's the enjoyment I'd find one of these things and I'd be like here we go I have no idea maybe the ground's going to turn to pipes to start doing a wavy thing maybe I'm going to turn into a blob that sticks to the ceiling maybe time's going to speed up maybe it's going to slow down maybe it's going to do both maybe I'm in the cave level and you get it and you're now it's an overhead view in which you're walking on the background which changes the entire gameplay Dynamic Super Mario Wonder goes beyond the concept of you have blocks enemies pits powerups and they're laid out in a 2d plane the player essentially has an obstacle course to get through to get to the end it's more than that the levels feel alive with their own Unique Mechanics the thought was thrown out there I'd heard the argument do we really need another 2D Mario game because with Mario maker and the collective imagination of the world of people who have it anything is possible but now we have Super Mario wonder and you cannot get that with Super Mario Maker great soundtrack too that's not really new for Mario Mario games have always had great music but the desert theme in Mario Wonder lives right here I wake up thinking about it I go to bed listening to it probably why I wake up thinking about it I mean you notice from the trailer and while playing the game the animations are just they've elevated the animation when you go down pipes Mario loses his hat he just grabs his hat you're the elephant you have to squeeze down the pipe even taking on the Goombas the Goombas look at you and you jump they're like ah you stomp on a glomba and they kind of freak out cuz you killed one of their friends you're not just stepping on Goombas you're you're stepping on Friends of other Goombas so when little Goombas are sleeping I dare say I just jump over the Goombas and I just let them sleep they're not hurting anybody and they're my niece's favorite so you know I let them live the animations in Super Mario Brothers Wonder just make the characters feel like they have so much more personality it's like Nintendo knows in order to really make a proper throwback you maintain the spirit of what came before but you elevate it in a way in which new Gamers and old Gamers alike can feel that feeling experience that feeling that they did the first time they played Super Mario Brothers or their parents felt when they played Super Mario Brothers look in the end I remember playing Super Mario Brothers when I was little and my dad and his friends my dad who was younger then than I am now it's not the gray in my beard that ages me it's [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] like that but I remember my dad watching me play and he was like mushrooms that make you grow flowers that make you shoot fire stars that make you blink all the while you're running on platforms of huge mushrooms this is a trip Super Mario brother's Wonder makes Mario for me feel as trippy as it felt for my parents when they first saw Super Mario Brothers back in the day aside from that fun trip Factor being you know a fun connection that I made with the game Super Mario Wonder for me is in fact the most imaginative 2D Super Mario Brothers game and the most fun I've had in a 2d Super Mario Brothers game since Super Mario World that's not even close that is no question all right so Super Mario Brothers Wonder have you played it what did you think about it and seriously a good game play capture device for consoles preferably in 4k because the in-house the onboard PS5 capture well the colors are just washed out and [Ø¢ __Ø¢ ] so whatever you
