Super Mario Bros. Wonder

It’s been a while since the 2D Mario games got a real upgrade. The New Super Mario Bros. subseries has been in a rut, and while Super Mario Odyssey did great things for the 3D platformers, Mario’s journeys from one side of the screen to the other haven’t been much to write home about. Super Mario Bros. Wonder isn’t necessarily a revelation, but it is the most interesting 2D platformer the plumber has given us in a hot minute. With new power-ups like the Elephant Fruit and level-altering Wonder Seeds, Super Mario Bros. Wonder knows how to maintain what makes the series so beloved while also keeping long-time fans on their toes. — Kenneth Shepard
