Review consensus
Super Mario Bros. Wonder revitalizes 2D Mario with inventive level design, expressive presentation, and a constant stream of surprises. Wonder Flowers transform stages in unpredictable ways, while Badges add useful customization without undermining the series’ precise platforming. Reviewers also praised the colorful art direction, polished controls, cooperative play, and thoughtfully integrated online features. Its relatively gentle difficulty, restrained boss encounters, and occasional lack of truly transformative challenge keep it from perfection, but the consistently creative stages and abundance of secrets make it one of the strongest 2D Mario adventures in decades.
