Summary
Super Mario Bros. Wonderhas proven to be a uniqueSuper Mario Bros.experience, and one of the most innovative that Nintendo has produced in a long time. From the reliably solid platforming mechanics, to its vibrant and creative visuals,Super Mario Bros. Wonderhas given longtime fans and newcomers alike a lot to enjoy. Given Nintendo’s track record for releasing newSuper Mario Bros.games, fans are also likely going to have a lot of time to get familiar withWonder’s levels and mechanics before there’s another new installment.
For someSuper Mario Bros. Wonderplayers, there will come a time when the game has offered everything it can, and replaying familiar levels will become the only option. Nintendo has demonstrated, however, that it can take a game that’s seemingly been wrung of its content and inject new life into it. TheMario Kart 8 DeluxeBooster Course Pass is a prime example of this, as amidst anticipation forMario Kart 9, Nintendo dramatically increased the aging game’s longevity. Nintendo has an opportunity to do the same withSMB Wonder, adding new levels to the game, so it can continue to entertain for years to come.
How Super Mario Bros. Wonder DLC Could Showcase Mario History
One of the most exciting aspects ofMario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass was itsrecreation of classicMario Karttracks. While the base game certainly had its fair share of fan-favorites, the DLC allowed Nintendo to dig deep into its catalog while also introducing a handful of original creations.Super Mario Bros. Wondercould do the same with classicSuper Mario Bros.levels, bringing them into the modern day for fans to enjoy either for the first time or the tenth. There’s certainly no shortage of levels to choose from, and it can help expandSMB Wonder’s sense of adventure for the foreseeable future.
SMB Wonder’s Mechanics Could Reinvent Classic Levels
Super Mario Bros.has been around for a long time, and while many of its classic levels seem timeless, they can quickly show their age when compared to more contemporary creations.Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s Wonder Flower mechanic, however, can help reinvent older levels and bring them into the modern day. Nintendo has already demonstrated tremendous creativity with the Wonder Flowers in the base game, and incorporating Wonder effects into classic levels fromSuper Mario Bros.orSuper Mario Bros. 3could make what’s old new again.
Extra SMB Wonder Levels Could Add A New Challenge
In addition to bringing classicSMBlevels intoWonder, DLC could add some new challenges to the game in the form of particularly difficult levels. To properly leverage the game’s mechanics, such asSMB Wonder’s traversal options, these could be original creations just like those inMario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass. Nintendo could also reach into its past and add courses from the Japanese version ofSuper Mario Bros. 2, which wasn’t sold in the United States because it was deemed too difficult for regional audiences. Package it all withWonder’s unique art design, and it could prove to be a popular add-on.
Super Mario Bros. Wondermasterfully blends new mechanics with familiarSMBfundamentals, offering gamers who spent years playingNewSuper Mario Bros. U Deluxea truly unique experience. Withits many playableSuper Mariocharacters, perks, and collectibles,Wonderwill likely maintain some momentum for a long time. When the time comes, however, a suite of new levels inspired bySuper Mario Bros.classics could makeWonderone of the most ambitiousSMBtitles ever made.
