The Story of Super Mario Bros Wonder 1v1f2t

The game takes place in flower kingdom (Kingdom of Flowers), a region not far from Mushroom Kingdom (Mushroom Kingdom), and Mario and his friends are invited by Prince Florian to an event. Therefore, it is not a surprise for those already used to the Mario franchise games when Bowser disrupts this encounter by capturing the power of the Wonder Flower, a flower of flower kingdom who has unusual powers.
Strange events begin to occur when the series' antagonist merges with Prince Florian's castle and starts chaos in the region. So Mario and his friends need to forces to defeat Bowser once again and save flower kingdom.

As expected, the history of the Mario franchise games is just a small context for the player to venture through different stages and explore different regions of a world not yet seen by the player.
With the game going on flower kingdom, the protagonists will have 7 areas to venture into, starting with Pipe-Rock Plateau in a rocky region, followed by Fluff-Puff Peaks in a frozen mountain zone of the game world, Shining Falls with its lush waterfalls and petal isles which promises many stages in the water. In addition, the game will feature a desert region, a spooky forest and a magma zone in a volcanic space, whose names were not disclosed at the presentation.
The big news in relation to the game's phase selection map is that at certain times, players will be able to walk freely, just as it happened in Super Mario 3D World, which makes it possible for phases to be played in different orders.

In addition to Mario, players will have a wide range of character options to control during the adventure, which are: Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad (in two color versions), Toadette, Yoshi (in four color versions) and Nabbit .
From what was disclosed, all characters will have the same gameplay characteristics, however, Yoshi and Nabbit are characters aimed at more casual players and who do not suffer damage from enemies and do not have access to the power ups of the game, being a simplified option for players with little experience. In addition, Yoshi will also have the ability to eat enemies and, if the player is playing with friends, any other characters can climb on the dinosaur to go through a part of the level or play together.

The Incredibles power ups of wonder 6t4n26

Perhaps the most anticipated novelty in every game in the Mario franchise are the power ups or, as called by us Brazilians, the “poderzinhos”. Among those announced at the event are:
- Elephant: the power-up already presented in the game's reveal, transforms the character into an elephant that promises to destroy everything that stands in its way with its trunk.

Wonder Flower's Folly 4w6x2z

A Wonder Flower is probably the big news in of gameplay of super mario wonder. A flower that only grows in the flower kingdom, when players come into with her, incredible and unusual things happen. In an almost psychedelic gameplay, the stages are distorted with unexpected events ranging from a herd of enemies, to a change of perspective in the game's gameplay or being teleported to float through space.
Only a few interactions known as Wonder Effect were presented, as this promises to be the big surprise of the game with unpredictable events occurring in each phase. This effect happens in the world until the player collects a seed from that flower so that everything returns to normal and such seeds will be used as resources to unlock new stages at certain times.
New possibilities with badges g602e

Normally, in Mario franchise games, whenever we play with different characters, the gameplay tends to vary between each one of them. Luigi usually jumps higher, Peach usually has the ability to glide, among other gameplay differences. This time, all the characters will be the same and the motivation for this change is in the introduction of the badges in the franchise.
As badges they will be skills that the player will gain during the journey and that will modify the gameplay of each character, bringing a variation in the gameplay, which includes everything from getting more coins, gliding using the hat, jumping higher, saving yourself from death on a precipice and many others. The introduction of this new mechanic promises to change a lot the way the player sees each phase of the game, as it debuts the concept of build em super mario wonder. For each phase, one skill can be more useful than the rest, so choose well so that your life is more peaceful in the challenges of each region.

The online mode also received its highlight in the Nintendo Direct with the introduction of several improvements that will improve the experience for players. In addition to enabling the gameplay of 4 simultaneous players locally for the same Nintendo Switch, the game features an online mode using Live Player Shadows, who are ghosts of other players who will be with you during your game, if you wish. In this way, it allows for less disorganized online gameplay, as each player will have their own screen without the obstruction of others.
The advantage of playing in online mode is that players will be able to share items with each other, in addition to helping to defeat enemies and overcome challenges, in addition to being able to save another player after his death, capturing his ghost that is wandering around the stage.
Other diverse online mechanics will be present in the game and fans are looking forward to playing with other strangers and their friends in an experience never seen before in platform games.

The evolution of the 2D line and the importance of Wonder 4x115m

The evolution of the franchise's 2D games Super Mario Bros. is a fascinating journey spanning decades of innovation and creativity in the video game industry. From the release of the original game in 1985 to the most recent titles, the XNUMXD game series from gaming's most famous plumber has undergone a remarkable transformation in of graphics, gameplay and design.
The game that started it all, Super Mario Bros., was released in Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and defined the fundamentals of 2D platform games. It introduced iconic characters like Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, and established many of the gameplay elements that would become standards in the series. The sequence, Super Mario Bros 2, brought some significant changes, such as the ability to choose between four playable characters, each with their own unique abilities, which is still utilized today and will be a mechanic present in Wonder.
Super Mario Bros 3 further expanded the gameplay by introducing the stage select map, allowing players to choose their path through various themed worlds. It also introduced a wide variety of power upsLike Super Leaf and frog suit, who became iconic versions of the protagonist.
Super Mario World marked the character's debut in SuperNintendo (SNES) and featured improved graphics, new enemies, and the dinosaur Yoshi as Mario's companion. Its sequel was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which while technically part of the Yoshi series, brought a unique visual approach with watercolor-style graphics and gameplay centered around protecting a baby Mario.

After that game, there was a period in the generations Nintendo 64 e GameCube when the Nintendo focused only on 3D games. However, the franchise returned to 2D games with New Super Mario Bros, keeping the classic platform style, but with updated graphics and new power ups as Mega Mushroom and Mini Mushroom. Following a very similar artistic and level design idea, the company later released New Super Mario Bros Wii, New Super Mario Bros U e New Super Mario Bros 2.
The evolution of the franchise's 2D games is a testament to the ability of Nintendo to innovate and keep a classic series relevant over the years, keeping the essence of the gameplay, but adding new elements to keep players captivated. These games continue to delight a new generation of gamers and show that Mario's magic is far from over.
The new Super Mario Bros. Wonder promises to be a new iteration in this franchise performing a change of concepts that we haven't seen since New Super Mario Bros. Compared to previous games, the new release seems to have taken special care with the animations of its characters and the construction of a beautiful environment, with plenty of elements and which, at the same time, does not make the screen visually polluted. The expectations over Wonder are very high among Mario fans and justifiably so, as it could represent a new era in the most important series in the history of video games.
