The "Lore" and Development of Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Рет қаралды 33,858
Super Mario Bros. Wonder does a ton of new things right and perfects elements established previously in the 2D Mario format but it also takes a step back with other design choices. Let's take a deeper look at the lore, development story, and overall project that is Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

I love that the attitude towards beginners has changed so much in the landscape of gaming, so now we have modes/characters specifically to ease new players in. But in the NES days when Nintendo became a household name, it was more "Awwww, you've got one of the two games your parents will buy you this year??

In terms of Boss fights, I would personally consider certain Wonder events to be "mini bosses". Events like the giant Thwomp in the crystal cave, the big fish, Shadow Mario and the giant Bowser head in the airship stages. You're not damaging them, but in running away from them in order to not die, that makes their presence scarier.

Never fear; I found a tad bit of lore that is actually very important (suprisingly??). There are multiple different places where you can find captain toad, where he'll give you purple coins for finding him. But, upon first meeting him, he says: "This... IS our first time meeting, right?" Implying that this is the first time canonically that we meet CT. Meaning that SMBW comes before SMG, SMG2, SM3DW, and SMO in the timeline. I just found that extremely interesting, and I'm mad no one else has been talking about it.
@TheMentok 6 ай бұрын
I did mention Captain Toad in my original script but scrapped the line regarding him to shorten things a bit. I didn't notice that line (or rather didn't think much of it when I read it) Interesting they'd put that in there considering how confident I am that Nintendo doesn't care for timelines 😂 I'll have to replay the game and check this out
@userhere1190 6 ай бұрын
@@TheMentok Yeah, I originally gave up trying to make a timeline for the mario games, but Wonder put me all through the loop. It seems that it would be right before galaxy (seeing as Bowser mentions taking over the universe with his Wonder, but we know it's before Galaxy bc of the whole captain toad thing), but it has to be after sunshine because Bowser Jr. is obviously here, when his big entrance was in sunshine originally. It's all madness!
@twilighttoast01 5 ай бұрын
I interpreted that as captain toad talking to Prince Florian specifically, since they obviously haven’t met before (and I think other npc’s throughout the game mainly address Florian specifically but I’d have to check to verify that). Still something interesting to think about though
@xxsupersayen34xxnoe33 5 ай бұрын
the point is that they didn't want to write alternative dialogues depending on which character met him and which didn't so they made him say a line that could be interpreted either way, that's why he appears confused. plus it'd be a mess to attempt to implement such a thing with the whole multiplayer thing as well as with mario luigi peach blue toad and yoshi(I guess galaxy 2 didn't happen in the true timeline™) having met him and the rest not having. It's really not worth it for them to complicate things so much just to preserve a timeline that noone at nintendo care about
@BlackAhorn 6 ай бұрын
It does seem like they prioritized the Wonder mechanic and then had to skip adding meaningful new bossfights because of a deadline - i'm really hoping for a DLC with additional postgame content, because the foundation of this game is really solid and lots of fun!

I’ve heard that Nintendo didn’t even have a deadline for this game, and didn’t crunch get it done.

I'm also upset that the game doesn't have more lore, more story, more personality for the characters, even though the spin-offs like the first three Paper Mario games and the Mario and Luigi games show that the potential is absolutely there. But sadly you can't expect much from the mainline Mario games in that regard. Story, lore, and character writing never were their focus. But even if you're left hungry for more lore, believe me I am too, imagining stuff like Peach menacing the Flower Kingdom or the Flower Kingdom chasing the Mushroom people from the land makes no sense with these characters' personalities. Peach wouldn't do that.
@TheMentok 6 ай бұрын
Lore was definitely lacking here. I didn't need much because it is just Mario at the end of the day, but the new Kingdom needed more personality. Also, my ramblings about a warmonger Peach is just a joke for the video. 😂 I know she's not like that (and I definitely wouldn't want Nintendo to write her that way)
@Oceane1803 6 ай бұрын
@@TheMentok Yeah I figured it was a joke. Personally I wish I could make my own Mario game that would have a good story and uses these characters' potential at the fullest. With all the Kingdoms in it too. And even though that won't happen because the chances of me working at Nintendo or making a fangame are low (and even if I could make a fangame, we know Nintendo and their takedowns), I already imagined a story and themes anyway. You know how the Mushroom Kingdom is inspired by Alice in Wonderland, and the Beanbean Kingdom by Jack and the Beanstalk. Well to give consistency to the Mario world, I thought we could make each Kingdom tied to a fairy tale. For example, Sarasaland would be the Arabian Nights. And for the Flower Kingdom, I was thinking Thumbelina. I imagined that there could be a prophecy in the Flower Kingdom saying that the royalty of the Kingdom would be born from a Royal Seed's Wonder Effect, and that's how Florian is born and was put in the role of Prince by the Poplins. During the events of the game, a Royal Seed's Wonder Effect would give birth to a small girl (she mirrors Thumbelina, I don't have a name for her yet though), who the Poplins want to make their princess and who Florian wants to rule with. But she's basically a newborn (though she can talk and everything) so she gets overwhelmed and runs away. Mario arrives soon after as he follows the events of the main story and accepts to help Florian find the girl. As we progress, we the player would learn about the prophecy, how Florian was born and became the prince, and how he insisted that the girl became his princess because that's what he was told would happen his entire life, as the prophecy is much much older than he is. He would realize his mistake and, later in the story, would have a Wonder Flower temporarily transforming him into a fairy-looking butterfly form (mirroring the Fairy Prince from Thumbelina), which I think he should have had in Wonder so that he can help us reach Bowser in the final fight. Anyway they eventually find the girl, Florian apologizes to her, explains the context with the prophecy, and asks if she would be okay with them just being friends for now, and that if she doesn't want to become the princess, that's also okay. The girl accepts to be Florian's friend who eventually goes back to caterpillar form and all's well that ends well for this chapter of the game.

Imagine a world where Nintendo wasn't evil and modding wasn't attacked and was instead promoted. Imagine giving the world the ability to create their own wonder levels if they have the coding skills, like obviously some mods will come out but the average Joe won't be able to play them as modding the switch at all is a nightmare for a casual and needs external tools just to do it.
