So much fanfare has been heaped around the Elephant Fruit power-up in Super Mario Bros. Wonder that I fear everyone has lost sight of the fact that this game actually introduces three new Mario power-ups to the dungaree-wearing canon. What we have here is the most creative 2D Mario adventure we’ve had for a long time. While this is a more traditional side-scrolling platformer experience than something like Super Mario Odyssey, it also manages to brilliantly capture so many of the elements of Mario and friends’ more recent endeavors and escapades to make Wonder truly live up to its name.
