But then Bowser barges in and steals a Wonder Flower, which somehow allows him to merge with Prince Florian’s castle to create a floating mecha fortress of doom. The game starts simply enough with Mario and crew (Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Nabbit and, for the first time, Daisy) visiting Prince Florian of the Flower Kingdom. Warning: This review includes some light spoilers, including the number of worlds and descriptions of some hidden levels. Wonder, a game that dazzles and delights while living up to its name in a variety of ways. But what really pushes things over the top is the introduction of a new mechanic that turns everything you think you know about Mario games on its head.
Next, you introduce a bunch of new enemies and power-ups. How is Nintendo supposed to keep its classic side scroller feeling fresh after all this time? First, you shift the location to a brand new kingdom. Mario has been stomping Goombas, smashing blocks and running from left to right for damn near 40 years.
