Holy linguine this is the gamest game I have ever gamed. There is just infinite new ideas in this game wtf. I had high expectations and those were blown out of the stratosphere. You'd genuinely get creative whiplash from playing the New Sup games after playing this.
Wonder is just pure fun. No idea is run dry. This isn't only about the Wonder flowers, I'm talking enemies, level gimmicks, backgrounds, and everything in between. I've never smiled more than when playing this game.
Also how is nobody talking about the fact that joycons make a noise?!?! I've had my switch for over 6 years and I didn't know it could do that! In fact, this whole game is a sensory overload. The visuals and audio are fantastic, but the HD rumble really brings everything together.
The final boss was phenomenal, it wasn't difficult, but it's probably the best 2D Mario boss ever. Annoyingly, the same can't be said for the mini bosses. The airship 'boss' is laughably pathetic and I'm not even gunna consider them a boss. The other bosses have fantastic ideas behind them, but they are too easy and predicable considering it's just Bowser Jr each time.
Unfortunately the difficulty didn't quite reach the heights I wanted it to reach. The final level was hyped up so much online, and it took me like 5 attempts. I understand the base game being easy, but the post game of Mario is usually harder than this.
The game also tries to nostalgia bait us by doing the same post castle text scroll from Mario World. This falls flat, as Mario isn't committing any war crimes like he does in World. In fact, almost all of the dialogue in this game sucks. I wish cutscenes were skippable for replays.
Despite a few nitpicks, this game just barely deserves a 5 star in my book. I'm not quite sure if it's better than tropical freeze, but it's damn close. This really feels like Mario World 3 and I could not be more happy.
