50 Facts About Super Mario Bros Wonder YOU Might Not Know!

Super Mario Bros Wonder looks amazing and I don't think it's ridiculous to say that it already seems to be the most creative 2D Mario of all time I said this on our podcast Nintendo tonight but 2D Platformers are one of the hardest games to show off because so much of it comes down to just how the game controls the fact that in this first trailer Mario Bros Wonder was able to show off so much that we have 50 facts in this video is a testament to just how strong that reveal trailer was it was perfect perfect everything down to the last minute details naturally the game is not I will look back on October 20th when the game releases and be like oh some of these facts were wrong but we've done a lot of digging and found some really interesting stuff and some stuff that I have not seen anyone else talk about so let's jump right into it starting off with fact number one there is seemingly internet and Nintendo switch online connectivity within this game I did not realize this at all until I was taking a look at the game's website which is pretty Bare Bones until you get to the all the way bottom with this disclaimer saying that any Nintendo switch online membership and a Nintendo account are required for online features also you need internet access for online features who would have thought at first I thought this is something they probably put at the bottom of every game's website but on the Legend of Zelda tears of the Kingdom's website we don't have that disclaimer at all that's obviously a game with no online connectivity so they wouldn't need it secondly I thought oh maybe it's just because they have a little section about Nintendo switch game vouchers and obviously you can use game vouchers for games that need NSO so maybe it's that but they have the same game voucher Section on the tiers of the Kingdom website the same game voucher disclaimer but obviously no NSO disclaimer this doesn't confirm online multiplayer for all we know this could be like a returning Miiverse type functionality or some sort of leaderboards but at least from this it looks like there's online connectivity in this game this is by far the most like speculative of these facts the rest are well actually facts this was just so big I had to bring it up this wondrous world is called the flower Kingdom and the first level in the game is welcome to the flower Kingdom it would appear that there are only three levels in this first world as you see the gang leaving the flower Kingdom in this shot right here and as they take these flowers up similar petals start to fall back here signifying that they're kind of teleporting using flowers over to the second world the first level of the second Kingdom seems to be a level themed around these new toad-like houses maybe it's a town you can walk through perhaps purple coins return as a main collectible we don't know what they're used for yet but my money is on alternate costumes just like in Mario Odyssey is that's the only other time we've seen purple coins in a Mainline Mario like this yup it's the only time purple coin chunks appear too you get 0.1 purple coins for each chunk but they're seemingly only able to be accessed when you're in the weird Wonder mode as that's when the counter gains a decimal there also seem to be three large purple coins per level that give 10 each these kind of replace Star Coins which do not return this marks a beginning of a new but not new you know what I mean 2D Mario era there is also no timer another bygone relic of the new Super Mario Bros games this to me indicates we're getting longer or maybe more less linear levels where you maybe have to do some backtracking or more exploration within the 2D levels now that you're not be held to a timer you're gonna have to hit the top of the flagpole in every level for 100 completion just like in Super Mario 3D World I'm saying this because there's a little icon that pops up there's no other reason for that to happen there is however a great reason for you to subscribe to the channel That being that most of our viewers aren't subscribed so we're never gonna hit 200k and pass the dreaded Wii U stop Channel unless you hit that subscribe button so do your part join the club and now let's move on to the next fact the eShop listing for Super Mario Bros Wonder confirms that it is only 4.5 gigabytes that sounds like not much and that's because it is that's a really small game but keep in mind that new Super Mario Bros U Deluxe was only 2.5 gigabytes and that game had a whole new Super Mario Bros campaign an entire second campaign with the Luigi U mode extra mini game challenges all that and it's almost half the size of Super Mario Bros Wonder this just goes to show two things Nintendo's compression is amazing they are so good at getting these games down to a small size and Mario Wonder must be a pretty big game to almost double new soup Deluxe fact number 10 brings back the timer there are these like challenge slash time trial segments shown here and here which interestingly enough has one timer counting up and one timer counting down this Overworld map is very similar to Super Mario 3D World or Yoshi's woolly world it would appear that you can free roam at least sections of it too judging by the fact that there's no dotted path down to this level here at least that we can see each level has a set difficulty displayed by the amount of stars that you see when you get the preview and to me this would imply non-linear worlds AKA an Overworld where you can choose from multiple different levels maybe some are more challenging but reward you more as a result so far we only see two Wonder seeds per level these seem to be the main progression collectible of the game you receive one Wonder seed for finishing the level and saving this weird toad like creature don't worry we'll get into them soon the other Wonder seed is collected by going into what we're going to call Wonder mode and completing some sort of challenge it would appear that the background can occasionally hint as to what wonderboat actually does but very vaguely for example in this section here Wonder mode makes all the pipes become alive they get eyes and start moving and these background mountains suspiciously shaped like pipes suddenly get eyes once you enter Wonder mode in this shot you can see Peach and Mario fly through a windy updraft and both of them pull out a hat to fly despite Peach not actually having a hat which is kind of weird unfortunately I don't think you can use this wherever you want as we can see this sign here probably indicating that this is now a move that Mario can do Yoshi could be this game's version of baby mode just like how NAB it was for Mario U in that game Nabbit could not be hurt by any enemies and it seems like here Yoshi just phases through a falling missile Mario can also hop on Yoshi while Yoshi is a playable character as indicated by this top left icon This lends more Credence to him kind of being in Easy Mode because if there's a section that's too hard Player 1 can jump on the more experienced player 2 playing as Yoshi and just kind of Mainline the section for them it reminds me of when Diddy Kong jumps on Donkey Kong in the old Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze game and speaking of dkc tropical Freeze you can see here that peach actually jumps into the foreground these pink flowers spawn coins and potentially other objects in front of Mario which is also similar to not only Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze but Rayman Legends with the Lums it appears that not only can you go into the foreground but the background as well as you can see this blue flower which is clearly something you're supposed to interact with in the background for multiple shots Point stacking has been removed and it is replaced with good great fantastic and Etc lastly being wonderful as fitting as that is for full completion of levels the mechanic of reaching the top of the flagpole no longer gives you a one-up or 10 000 points instead you just see the word wonderful crowns return but only in the form of an icon above a player rather than a physical item that can be dropped if crowns have the same purpose as 3D World being given to one player during multiplayer that scores the best in the previous level now I'm sure it would be counting how many wonderfuls you get the fact that it's just an icon is a little disappointing as you probably can't ground pound someone else to steal it from them this yellow flower here obviously changes the colors of the entire level but it also seemingly tilts the level sending this spiked bowler down to chase the gang the animation of the entire level tilting will play out in a cut scene that we just barely see the end of as this letterbox effect Fades up into the sky Mario can get super big like like super big like really stretchy and kind of weird Mario can also turn into a spiked ball that rolls and destroys everything in its way running into something while you're in the spike ball transformation even plays a bowling sound effect laughs this one you might have missed if you weren't watching super carefully Mario can turn into a freaking elephant considering that there's a bunch of bricks here and we watch Mario absolutely destroy a Goomba I'm gonna go on a limb and say as an elephant you can break pretty much anything but you also can't jump which can be assumed given the fact that there's a ramp up to the Goomba rather than just a step you can store a power up up here and get it back with a these flowers are voice acted fully this is the first time in 2D Mario history we get that other than just toad noises in fact it actually might be the first time in 2D or 3D Mario history that this happens during gameplay and not a cut scene but you might want to fact check me on that down in the comments this game has at least six playable characters being Mario Luigi Peach Daisy Yellow Toad and Yoshi plutoad might be playable as we see his hat on a Goomba here but we're not sure if you count the different colors of Yoshi's that we see here this makes it the largest roster of playable characters in 2D Mario history not counting Super Mario run yup I'm gonna give credit when credits dude that game already had Daisy people forget that that game's good speaking of Daisy you can see her pushing a pipe against this new enemy here showing off a new mechanic certain objects can be pushed as DC pushes this imma call it a pusher bro because it's like a Hammer Brother pushes things as Daisy pushes back on this guy he starts to sweat time to hit the gym low bro it would seem that this top of the pipe needs to be pushed onto the rest of the pipe and then you'll be able to go into it and it'll probably send you to the background here near the end of the trailer Mario and three other characters hit the flagpole and celebrate there's this unknown green caterpillar looking guy that pops out from Mario he's seemingly important to the story we also see this guy in the key art next to Luigi we also see him here but he leaves when Mario turns out the lights he's scared of the dark also I'm calling it here this is not a fact but a prediction this guy will turn into a butterfly by the end of the game you don't have a caterpillar that follows Mario the entire game and doesn't turn into a butterfly I'm just calling it right now that's a spoiler by the way because I'm that confident in that prediction these new seed-like creatures have new designs and new houses that spawn after beating a level you can see what was there instead of that house before Mario finished the level or at least a sliver of it it looks like a Bowser's Fortress though bubbles return and while here we can only see them house coins and mushrooms I would assume that they'll also transport you back once you die in multiplayer like new soup characters share lives like in 3D World yes this was so so needed Conor the days of playing with people who maybe aren't the best at 2D Mario and then once they run out of their lives they're done forever this balloon guy is transparent so only the opaque parts of him cast a shadow like his tail here this is kind of weird but I think it's kind of cool I don't know it's it's a nice little detail between Bowser Junior's blue tint and his ability to grow himself and Shrink Mario he's probably used one of those Wonder flower looking things and has a bunch of weird powers I would say that I think Bowser is going to do this as well but at least for the final boss fight I'm pretty sure he's turning into an elephant they did the same thing with cats for 3D World I'm just gonna again spoiler alert I'm putting that here he's turning into an elephant it would be too funny not to fact number 48 we're almost done here there is a comic book like animation that plays during certain interactions like getting a power up you can also see this one when Mario becomes an elephant it actually makes an elephant in the background which is pretty cool checkpoints return we don't know if there are multiple of them per level but yeah they're back the Superstar also makes a returning appearance this is not very surprising at all but while Mario's falling here you can see some star effects follow him and he's changing colors just like the Superstar It's gotta be returning and with that those are 50 quick and fast facts about Super Mario Bros Wonder this game looks absolutely incredible and instead of telling you here to watch a different video on the switchstop channel I'ma send you over to Nintendo tonight this is our podcast and we had a whole segment talking about Mario wonder and everything else in the direct the video on screens the Mario Wonder segment but stick around over there it's a good time [Applause] thank you
