One thing I find fascinating about Wonder’s harder levels is how they’re mostly designed to counter multiplayer cheese. There’s a lot of autoscrollers or “timed” levels, and by forcing you to constantly be on-the-move, it means you’re less likely to be able to revive via another player or a standee. You can’t go backwards in those levels, even as a ghost. Of course, whether this is a strength or a weakness depends on how much you like autoscrollers. :U

In the Final Wonder level (not the Final Badge Challenge, the level before it) there's a hidden Daisy block with a drill power-up in it, right after the falling pipe before the crystal area...

Seeing you suffer in the Final-Final Test made me happy because I suffered a lot while doing it myself. I'm only mad you did the invisibility badge first try. I suffered a lot on this one so I didn't get the satisfaction of seeing you suffer on it as well.

These levels are not just challenging especially when you're not using help from online players, they also really test your patience. If you get too excited and do extra move at the wrong time, you'll be dead. But they're fun challenges, not frustratingly hard that it's almost impossible doing it.

That last level was brutal, especially the spring badge portion. I honestly considered going back to an earlier level to get a power up (and an extra to put in storage just in case), then using it to just damage boost through those last few fire bars. I _didn't,_ but I definitely thought about it.

Honestly, I enjoyed it. It wasn’t too easy, it was fun to play, there were definitely challenges along the way. It was like I played the perfect Mario game

I'm really happy I got to see Fir's reaction to the secret badge

The special world is honestly a prime example of what Nintendo CAN do and that's why it's nice to see it. The levels themselves are playful with things like the guy's massive hat being hidden by the cloud and the balloon off screen pushing you back near the flagpole and the difficulties/jerkish moments are a nice change of pace for how easy things tend to be. The game is made easier for younger audiences, but the addition of harder and meaner levels is a nice way to acknowledge the fans who've been around for a while. It's kinda like movement in Mario Odyssey. You CAN make it through the whole game without any particularly fancy tricks or moves but they're still there if you wanna play with them.

I loved this game. I really enjoyed having many new techniques/power ups. The most difficult part of the game overall for me was finding the secret exits/hidden coins. I had a lot of trouble with the very last level. I didn’t have many lives so once I went game over I only had 5 tries each time so even if I died after a checkpoint, I often had to start over. I’m glad they made a difficult special world. Enjoyed watching your videos! You did much better for the last level as I did at the start. I 100% everything except I don’t have all the standees.

Somehow, of the "normal" special levels, the rhythm one was both the best and the worst for me. I liked that it was not as long as the others, so you didn't lose too much time with every death, but it was also so punishing if you weren't perfectly on beat... Also, the final final level is rough. That fire bar section, man...

watching you struggle on the last level makes me feel better LOL awesome game!

I think I spent more time on that spring section than the entire game combined, I actually restarted the level from the start so I had a shroom for that last Jump

Awww that’s cute he’s complaining about losing 30 lives Me in the corner crying myself to sleep whilst I remember the trauma of losing over 200 lives on this level

This has convinced me all the more, we need a spring power only run

The final test (not to be confused with the final final test) can be cheesed to the end with just the drill powerup, and you dont need any of the orange badges to cheese it, so using the drill badge, you can just cheese the level without having to wait for too many things

16:32 Having the cannons face left and they shoot to the right is some kaizo level trolling lmao

Funny story, when I played the badge marathon with my little brother we got to the spring feet badge and I died, I expected him to immediately fail since he was not any better than me but he somehow full speed ran (I guess bounced 😂) through without dying or getting hit once and when we died later in the stage and got a game over HE DID IT AGAIN. My little brother is a pro 👍

Same i failed on that so many times

for the wonder gauntlet, i used the drill! it makes the first few parts of the stage really easy!

Badge marathon took 70 lives for me but completing it felt so rewarding 😂

A good tactic I found for the invisibility section of the Final-Final Challenge was to keep a power-up in reserve and then press X to get it to start spawning, which creates a bubble above your character. Just don't let it fully form. I think this is a bit easier than trying to spam the emote! (and it enabled me to beat the section first-try!)

Almost never comment on anything, but watching you struggle with and react to Final-Final almost exactly the ways I did is one of the most relatable things i've ever seen. I've seen what you can do in Odyssey, so this is surprising in the best possible way.

Good job, Fir for beating the special world and that final difficult level. When I did that level, it was SO hard that I lost hundreds of lives, then I beat and felt so relieved.

I love your vids fir! Keep it up!

I definitely thought Badge Marathon reminded me of Champion's Run in 3d world that took me hundreds of lives. They were equally difficult 😂

The only thing that threw me off was that I got Incredible TWICE on the Badge Marathon stage and finally got Wonderful on the third try.

I feel like the badge marathon is gonna be like the sans fight in undertale where people do 6 hour streams just to beat it once and in a few years we’re gonna have “Mario wonder but every level is the wonder gauntlet and badge marathon together with no coins or checkpoints” type thing

Bro!!! You beat that invisibility part on your first try! That took me like 3 hrs to beat that part. Nice job!

I'm not even sure it's possible to get all three wonder coins from Climb to the Beat and complete the level all in one life, except for maybe using the dash badge and some frame-perfect pixel-perfect turns or something. Most of my 9 deaths were because I kept trying to get all of them and complete the level all in one go. Also why do you have the flowers muted? Hearing them cheer for you after finishing these difficult levels is the best feeling ever! Especially at the end of Climb to the Beat, they yell, AMAZING!!! And it's the best thing ever!

5:06 Fir: I missed one? Me at 4:55 *LITERALLY SCREAMING* Ok he realized it at 5:25

Thank you for sacrificing your cardiac health and sanity so that those of us who would die trying can see the end of these levels!

In my opinion, the best power-up for the second to last level (the Wonder Gauntlet one) is the drill mushroom. It just makes the level so much easier. - Sincerely, a Drill Mushroom enjoyer.

The fluff puff peaks special level had me BEGGING for mercy. The fact you managed to do it losing a couple lives was really impressive to me. To put it in perspective, I bought the 99 lives, did the level and had 32 lives left. I don't know why it was so difficult but I am happy I never have to do it again.

The badge Marathon the hardest part was easily the spring jump badge. I lost so many lives on that part. Just to go all the way back to the crouch jump. I went in with 50 lives left with 8. And i did all that just to miss the top of the flag pole by a few inches... But second go wasn't actually that bad. Only lost like 5-10 lives

3:01 Yes. Once I noticed that and skipped ahead on the normal "Jump, Jump, Jump!" Level. I used the bubble powerup and parachute cap badge to pull it off at the start. I finished way earlier than intended.

the final final level took me easily over 60 lives, most infuriating thing ive done in ages

yeah I played the goomba level and the final gauntlet yesterday, I loved them as they were so hard but mean as you said fir

I thought a lot of the levels were fairly difficult, but not unfairly, save a few. The Goomba level has parts, especially with those spike balls, the Wonder spike ball tricks you often in that last section and is just overall hard, and I honestly couldn’t beat the Spring Jump section of the Final level without online respawning

"It's like pinball." Pachinko. Mario has done this before.

You know that they basically gave this to the developers and told them to go absolute chaos. And the developers had a blast making these.

The final level has taken every ounce of my anger and i still havent beaten it

Like watching a toddler try to complete a stock market exchange

When he played the last level i thought "well seems like maybe i could be better at this game than fir" because he died all the time at all the easy parts i blasted through... And then he one shots the invisibility badge. I easily spent a whole hour just on the very last section with those balloon enemies. That humbled me quite a bit, i guess when it matters and hes concentrated i dont stand a chance xD
