Wowie Zowie! We Got to Play Super Mario Wonder On Nintendo Switch!

It is not every day that a new mainline Super Mario Bros game comes out, and with the release of Super Mario Wonder, I am going to be able to explore a new Mario Game for the first time ever with my youngest daughter. But I've already gotten to play part of it! That's right, we got to play the new Super Mario Bros Wonder on the Nintendo Switch before the release day, at least the demo of the 1st level at our local Target store. Let's take a closer look!

Graphics:
First things first, I love the graphics and animation style that has gone into Super Mario Wonder. I like how it looks like the characters are at a slight angle to the screen, almost comic-book style. I also love how it looks like a very natural progression to the New Super Mario Bros Series. I thought the characters all looked great and the little tweaks were fantastic too.

Music:
If you know who Smooth McGroove is then the music should have that vibe. I thought what little music I was able to hear was also great, although the fact that it didn't feel like the OG Mario Theme or the NEW SMB theme was a little weird. Not bad, just not what you'd typically get from a Mario Game. It's like playing Super Mario 3D World for the first time and getting those Bass notes. I like the jazz feel, just not traditional.

Gameplay:
Game play felt very tight, like a Mario Game should. The only thing that felt a little off was that it did feel a little laggy on the controls, but I am chalking that up to the TV in-store likely not being set to game mode.

Overall Initial Thoughts:
LOVED IT! I cannot wait to get to play it for real, but I'll have to wait until December as we're going to get it for my youngest for Christmas. So if anyone has an extra copy they're not using in the meantime I could borrow, I'd appreciate it. Please? Pretty please?
