THE fifteen minutes of material they are below, without any cuts, so you can take stock of the situation with your own eyes without spoiling any surprises. Otherwise, if you prefer to “review” what you have seen or you don’t have the time and the need to view everything… you are welcome, continue reading! Wa-hoo!
A day of ordinary madness | Recap of all the news in the Super Mario Bros Wonder Nintendo Direct
Let’s start bomb in our recap with the first detail of Super Mario Bros Wonder eviscerated in the Nintendo Direct: the plot itself! As is often the case recently, the narrative pretext focuses on the primary gameplay principle of the game. The principe Florianruler of the neighboring Kingdom of Flowers, invite the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. However, when the Wonder Flower (which we’ll talk about later) appears, Bowser peeps out and immediately absorbs its power to… merge together with Florian Castle, thus becoming a sentient flying fortress. Panic spreads across the kingdom, prompting Mario and company to rescue the native Poplins trapped in their own homes!

We didn’t ask the narrator anything, but he wanted to talk about settings present in the game and for the record we will echo them. around theArchipelago of Flowersthe nerve center of the kingdom, there are five more worlds for a grand total of be. The starting world is there Piana Tubirocciosibut soon we will be climbing the Monte Puff Pufftake a dip in the Golden Falls and explore the rest of the scenarios. Two details we would like to point out: some open areas of the map where tackle the levels in any order in the style of Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3, and the Italian dubbing by the talking flowers in levels. We assume that, apart from plumbers, the voices of Peach, Daisy and Toad are always the same in English. Oh, and there is too a level select quick screen!

Mario aside, who can we play? THE playable characters include Luigi, Peach, Daisy (in its playable platformer debut, Super Mario Run permitting), Toad (more colors), Toadette, Yoshi (more colors) e Ruboniglio. The last two they take no damage, but die when they end up in the chasms. What about gods enemies, Instead? There are new ones, in addition to the already known ones. THE Jumping they jump when the player does (like Leapfrogs), le Piranha Plants Watermelon they spit seeds upwards, the Attaccondor they sling vertically and laterally, i Bomp they break through the jelly, the mummies Mummy must be unrolled, the Squalamandre they immediately devour those who approach them… and we will see the others on day one.

In addition to the already known elephantiasis, there are others upgrades. But let’s start right from mario elephant: He can counterattack the Lakitu, but his trunk also allows him to store water and spit it out, break through blocks and, among other things, run over chasms two blocks wide. Mario bubble he is instead the Blue Baby Yoshi from New Super Mario Bros. U, only more accessible. He can seal enemies in his bubbles, even when they’re just above or below his line of fire, even from behind a wall… and he can use them to stretch his jumps with a bounce. Mario auger It’s like the Koopistress shell from Super Mario Maker in countering attacks from above, but can also be used to smash through floors, dig underground, and crawl through ceilings. Of course, the old power-ups like the Flower of Fire! Everything is possible keep aside as in the two handheld New Super Mario Bros. on DS and 3DS.

Let’s move on to the psychotropic vegetable at the heart of the game. THE Wonder flowers they alter the scenery in multiple ways, come on creeping pipes al sloping terrainpassing through the armies of enemiesthe phases in free fall and so on. One effect we would like to mention is the unpredictable gravitational shift that causes characters to run up the wall in the background. In other cases it is possible transform the character itselffrom enemies such as i Goomba a nailed boulders with which to roll around the level until you turn everything back to normal by tapping i Seeds wonder. Or by finishing the level by touching the flag, which turns prisons back into houses and yielding a Seed by default from poor Poplins.
Were we talking about Crash Bandicoot? | Recap of all the news in the Super Mario Bros Wonder Nintendo Direct
Remember i permanent power-up obtained by beating the bosses of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped? Well, the Play to be collected consist exactly of this. It can be equipped with one only one for each “run” of a leveland is unlocked with the Pin Challenges in which the power is to be used or with the Flower Coins in Poplin’s Emporiums. There is so much to say that we will resort to a bulleted list.
- Parachute hat: appears in the illustration of the game, allows you to glide.
- Jump Climbing: an improved wall jump, with one vertical momentum more like Mega Man X’s wall jump.
- Dolphin boost: one underwater shot with which to break blocks (and, we assume, swim quickly), similar to what was seen in Disney’s Illusion Island.
- tendril shooter: a instant liana with which to swing from wall to wall, similar to Spider-Man’s canvas or, more accurately, the Ninja Rope in the Worms series.
- Sensor: a way to recognize secrets nearbysimilar to Ursaluna’s Detector/Finding Items/Smell from the Pokémon series or, for the mustache, vibration in Odyssey.
- Crouching Big Jump: and high jump after building momentum by ducking, like in Super Mario Bros. 2.
- Jump Recovery: a mid-air jump with which recover from an otherwise fatal fall.
- Coin attractor: as the name says, attracts nearby Flower Coins to the playerlike Sonic Advance’s magnetic shield.
- Invisibility: Brooch with which enemies don’t see the character, but neither do the player. This all works similar to the similar power-up in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Supercorsa: with this power-up the player’s running improves to the point such as slow down the fall.
The gem | Recap of all the news in the Super Mario Bros Wonder Nintendo Direct
With the Brooches we have fully entered the heart of the game, but also on the front multiplayer there are so many good things to say. First, the co-op locale features a ghost transformation similar to Kirby Fighters 2 and Cuphead: the player who touches whoever is defeated brings them back to life, without losing 1-up. Also in multiplayer Yoshi plays the role of mount seen in World for the SNES and elsewhere. Things are also improving a lot on the front online: There is no full co-op proper, but respawning allows you to benefit whoever is playing at the time! Also they can be left silhouettes in some places to do from semi-checkpoint for other players to respawn, and help them tacitly. Playing with friends allows you to compete in a level!
