Mar10 Day Celebrates Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Today marks MAR10 Day (March 10th, get it?), a day to celebrate all things Mario. On this occasion, let’s take a moment to reflect on Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the first new 2D Mario game in 11 years.

A Fresh Take on 2D Mario

Super Mario Bros. Wonder brought a refreshing change to the traditional 2D Mario formula. After 17 years of the ‘New’ series, the game introduced updated visuals and innovative level design that breathed new life into the franchise.

What set Wonder apart was its fresh approach. The characters were more expressive, the music and environments evolved with each step, and the Wonder Flowers introduced a unique twist to every level, offering a level of novelty not seen in previous titles.

Should There Be a Wonder 2?

With the success of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the question arises: should there be a sequel? While the game was well-received for its originality, the risk of diluting its uniqueness with multiple sequels is a concern, as seen with the ‘New’ series.

While a sequel like ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2’ could build on the strengths of its predecessor with new levels, power-ups, and characters, there is a fine line between innovation and repetition. Will a sequel retain the charm of the original, or will it lose its sparkle with each iteration?
