The most hosed up wonder flower is the pop quiz. It asks you how many goombas you've killed. Wish I could have answered "How many loaves of bread have you eaten in your life?"

In the level select screen they show you if you've gotten the three purple coins, the wonder seeds in each level, and a flower water mark for if you watered the poplin at the end of the level.

That one I'm really curious how it is possible in some places because I'm pretty sure I've gone through some stages that have no water

Are you talking about the blue check mark? That's actually if you found absolutely everything, including secret exits if the level has one.

I'm still hoping they do the culix fight in the opposite direction and use every ounce of the Switch's power to make him look like the most PS5 FF16 lookin rear end boss fight they can

The closest thing to a complaint I have about Wonder is that Elephant Mario isn't that interesting of a transformation imo. All it can do is whack things with its trunk and splash water. The former is fun but not all that unique, the cape, tanuki, and cat suits all had that too. the latter only really matters in specific contexts where there's a dry plant that needs to be watered.

Speaking of, are Elephant and Fire Flower the only in-level powerups you can find in this game (not counting mushrooms and invincibility stars) or do more pop up later?

Drill and Bubble are the other two new ones
Some of the wonder flower effects also turn you into a different form for a section of the level. One of them is basically the P-Balloon from SMW

If you have a turtle shell in your hands, you can kick it straight up, then juggle it with your elephant trunk. Eventually you get a few coins out of it :toot:

yeah nsmb2 is on the very lowest tier of nintendo games. nsmbu was the best of the nsmb series but between series fatigue and nsmb2 kinda poisoning the series, nobody cared about nsmbu even when it came to switch.

NSMB series was just generally safe and vanilla. They’re solid but they did little other than offer new classic Mario levels. They were visually and mechanically not very exciting.

Wonder feels iterative and creative. I agree with the “best classic style game since 3 or World” assessments. It has the same kind of joy that playing something like Galaxy for the first time did.

NSMB2 is Jeremy Parrish and Stuart Gipp's favorite. Gipp I understand, he's British so he grew up with bad games and thinks going to a random corner of the screen and coins appear is a killer feature.

I think it's really funny how they set up certain expectations and then do something different with them later. There's several instances early on where the platform you and a flower are on goes away, causing the flower to fall alongside you and scream. But then you guys land and the flower will be like "oh boy that was crazy!". But I just did a wonder seed where after it was done, you do this extremely long fall with the flower next to you the whole time screaming. But in your head you're thinking "I wonder what he'll say when we land". Except that I land on a platform but the flower doesn't. He just keeps falling and screaming until he's off screen. I thought that was hilarious

I bought Knights and Guns during the last minutes of a sale. It's alright... Feels like a mobile game but with co-op. I was hoping for meta upgrades like VS and stuff, but the gameplay is just "shoot upwards and dodge." Maybe it's better with a kid on Player 2, but idk.

the first NSMB in 2006 was very good and I remember people being hyped because it was the first 2D platformer mario since like... SMW? Or, I guess, Yoshi's Island if you count that as a Mario game.

I haven't finished Wonder yet, but it'll probably be #3 when I'm done.
