Wonder was released for the Nintendo Switch a little over a year ago to thunderous applause and praise. After many years of New Super Mario Bros. stagnation, Nintendo really knocked it out of the park with a new 2D Mario game that is inventive and consistently creative. However, that inventiveness doesn't come from throwing away the series' principles. Oh, no, no, no. Instead, Super Mario Bros. Wonder commits much harder to the 4 step level design philosophy from acclaimed games like Super Mario 3D World, and in this video, we're going to see just how far they pushed that formula.
