However, still, the endless possibilities the new mechanics introduce makeup for the lack of character-specific skills-a small blemish on an otherwise innovative new entry in the Super Mario series. The majority of characters play the same outside of Yoshi and Nabbit who serve as easy mode options. While new mechanics and level designs are offered, the lack of character-specific abilities and skills is a missed opportunity. Additionally, players have the opportunity to ride Yoshi, the beloved dinosaur companion, adding an extra layer of joy and nostalgia to the game.
Players can look forward to playing with a diverse cast of characters, including Peach, Luigi, and Toad. The gameplay experience is further enriched by the inclusion of thrilling elements such as Mario grinding on rails, swimming up waterfalls, and evading roller skating Koopas. Players may find themselves witnessing the ground come alive, encountering herds of sheep, stretching into towering versions of Mario, or transforming into different forms.
The Wonder Flowers mechanic ensures that every playthrough is unique, as touching a flower can completely change the landscape and gameplay elements. Wonder is filled with surprises and thrilling moments.
