Unveiling the Magic: Super Mario Wonder Transforms Water Levels into Gaming Delights
Super Mario Wonder defies all odds by transforming the dreaded water levels into captivating gameplay experiences Prepare to be amazed as Mario tackles aquatic challenges like never before!
The experience is all too familiar. As you navigate through the carefully crafted platforming stages of the latest Mario game, you encounter the dreaded water levels. Suddenly, your rhythm is disrupted by the approaching waves of blue. But fear not, because Super Mario Bros. Wonder manages to achieve something no Mario game has done before - it actually makes water stages enjoyable. In fact, they can even be somewhat fun! At the very least, they are not as terrible as we have come to expect. This is truly a remarkable feat.
Historically, water stages have always been seen as a tedious and frustrating part of Mario games (as well as many other platformers). Your movements become sluggish, as you sink to the bottom and struggle to stay afloat by repeatedly tapping the Jump button. The enemies also move erratically in their swim patterns, making them more unpredictable and adding to the challenge. While Mario and his friends don't face the threat of suffocation like certain other retro platforming series, everything else about these levels is notorious for being the most disliked aspect of any Mario game. It is truly astonishing that Super Mario Bros. 3 manages to maintain its greatness, despite featuring an entire world dedicated to water stages (which should not be confused with WaterWorld).
Mario Wonder revamps the traditional Mario gameplay with numerous innovations. The Wonder effects deliver constant surprises, allowing players to observe player shadows and standees while connected. Additionally, the introduction of badges creates a customizable equipment system that adapts to the unique requirements of each stage. It was the implementation of badges that prompted the developers of Mario Wonder to address the long-criticized water stages and find potential solutions.

The new Dolphin Kick badge allows Mario and his friends to swim like mermaids or dolphins. By kicking their back legs, they gain quick and smooth control in multiple directions. Similar to the game Ecco the Dolphin, this badge transforms underwater stages from a slow and challenging endeavor to a platforming stage in the Mario universe. With the Dolphin Kick, players can feel completely in control, effortlessly navigating through enemies who are more skilled at swimming. It provides a sense of agility and allows for speedy completion of water stages, akin to standard ones.
Although the Dolphin Kick is mainly useful in water stages, which are limited in number, its inclusion by Nintendo is impressive. It showcases the versatility of the badge system in overcoming challenges in various stages. Although water stages offer a narrow example, they highlight the extensive capabilities of this tool.
Instead of solely relying on the classic traditional style, you now have the option to control Mario underwater with an advanced tool, delivering a gameplay experience tailored to underwater adventures. Once you're ready, simply switch back to the land-lubber badge and continue your amazing Mario platforming. Additionally, this enhanced control opens up the possibility for water stages to feature more intricate enemy patterns, challenging obstacles, and stunning Wonder effects, surpassing the limitations of old-fashioned swimming mechanics.
While water stages may not be the main highlight of Mario Wonder, they no longer remain forgettable compared to the impeccably designed platforming stages and captivating Wonder effects. This game has succeeded in minimizing the frustration associated with underwater levels, allowing the true fun of the game to shine through—an achievement unmatched by any other Mario game.
