| Assessment | Randy says the game “sucks,” calls it an insult, and rejects both its side-scrolling format and its price. |
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a Nintendo Switch Mario game that Randy discusses in a negative commentary video. He says he dislikes its 2D side-scrolling approach, argues that modern hardware should support more 3D Mario design, and says the game is overpriced at its retail price.
Randy’s critique
Randy’s core complaint is that Nintendo “had the opportunity to give us a Super Mario Odyssey 2 and they blew it.” He treats Super Mario Bros. Wonder as a step backward from the kind of Mario game he wanted and says he does not like side-scrolling games on modern consoles.
He also frames the price as part of the problem, saying he might pay $20 to $25 for it but would not pay $50 to $60. He repeatedly presents the game as something he thinks should cost less because he values it less than a 3D Mario title.
