  • It was good fun. I enjoyed the whimsical and trippy bits with the flower you could get in each level… and how the game mechanics changed each time.

    Whether or not it deserves a series though??? I don’t really think so. These smaller Mario games like Wonder, 3D World, Bowser’s Fury, and New Super Mario Bros U to me are nice little appetizers between bigger 3D open world adventures like Odyssey and Galaxy. More than anything, I’d love love love LOVE to see a sequel of some sort for Odyssey or at least a few DLC worlds. But with Mario Wonder just releasing, and getting a Mario movie, I don’t think we’re going to see another major open world Mario game until the Switch’s successor releases.

    I liked Wonder; I liked the movie; but if given the choice, 10 times out of 10 I’d choose even DLC for Odyssey over either of them… Wonder and the Movie were fun. Odyssey was pure joy. It’s been a looooong time since a video game made me unconsciously smile for as long as Odyssey did.


  • I would tell you not to let the weapon durability and frequent deaths get you down. That was everyone when they started. Thats not to say to not be careful and go barreling into each encounter, but just understand that while you’ve only got 3 or 4 hearts, a lot of encounters are going to kill you.

    That being said, try to scope out each boko encampment before you attack. Are there any boulders that can be dropped from overhead? Is there anything you can make explode or catch fire? Try to get tactical. Sometimes solving the tactics of a certain encounter takes going in and dying a few times. And that’s ok dude. As you keep with it, you’ll get better at fighting. Then eventually, you’ll notice you’ve got 10 or 15 hearts and aren’t dying nearly as often.

    So as a general strategy… focus on shrines. Stockpile those spirit orbs and get more hearts and stamina. Idk what the community’s rule is, but I focused on more hearts until I had 6 or 7 hearts, then exclusively dumped orbs into stamina until I filled out the second wheel.

    Keep it up dude. You’ll get there
