  As someone who grew up with the New Super Mario Bros games, I never felt the games were dull. So it hurts me inside to see that's the common sentiment on social media. But, isn't it great 2D Mario got a much deserved visual enhancement? I revisited Mario Wonder for the first time since I finished story mode (not 100%) in 2023, and it's such a pleasing and pretty game. I could stare at it for hours ❤

  when you said 13 years ago, my mind immediately went to NSMB DS, and just about lost my mind when I realized 13 years ago was 2013, not 2006

  It's amazing how simply rotating the characters makes them look so much better than a direct side profile

  I can't ever understand why Super Mario Maker 2 never got a Switch 2 update to support mouse controls, it would have definitely pulled me back to it again.

  It feels so surreal that Mario Bros. Wonder was already 2 years ago 😭<br><br>Edit: Wow, I&apos;ve never had this many likes before

  New Super Mario Bros for the DS was my first video game ever, it will forever be nostalgic to me

  I think there&apos;s a very good chance we&apos;ll get a Mario Wonder 2.<br><br>Like you said, there were over 2,000 ideas for Wonder effects, so a Mario Wonder 2 will basically be Mario Galaxy 2 on steroids.

  I always liked the NSMB art style, it&apos;s just how repetitive it is. The art styles in SMB 1, 2 (USA) , 3 and World are very different but the player can easily tell they&apos;re Mario, which gave each game a lot of charm

  It&apos;s like after the movie came out, Mario&apos;s art style had entered a Renaissance
