I'm glad, timers aren't really needed in games like this unless it's presented a specific gameplay mission which incorporates it.

It was nice to wander round and take my time searching every nook and cranny for secrets.

Kinda forgot mario games had a timer. I doubt it'll effect much really.

I still gotta get a few of these new releases for the switch. Mario rpg , Mario wonder. Been a little rough the last few months.

Best thing they did with this awesome platformer.

In most of the games the timer was pointless anyway because they gave so much time.

I'd rather them make some challenging games for a change anyway, a lot of Nintendo games are far too easy these days so they become boring.

The next big change for the series should be getting rid of the limited-lives system. It’s archaic and pointless. Also, the purple coins weren’t really needed. They could have just made regular coins the only currency you collect to make purchases.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder Almost Had A Live Action Wonder Effect

One unused Super Mario Bros. Wonder effect would have had Mario go live action, with Mario himself humming the music and mimicking sound effects.

I imagine a lot of these wonder effects especially the cut ones were imagined while the team were out drinking somehow

SEGA in victim mode for many years.. blaming others for doing good never questioning themselves.. no need to be marketing effort to know that releasing a bit of the same sonic at the same time as a very creative and perfectly executed 2D mario would hurt the sales.. well SEGA have one of the most amateur marketing people in the industry

The rivals are at it again. 😁

Even when Sega were still in the console business Sonic couldn't compete in terms of sales with Mario. Sonic is hot ragain and Sega still managed to fuck up. Quite the accomplishment.

A lot of bad Sonic games over the years. After Sonic Adventure 2, although Sonic Adventure was better, Sonic died. Apart from the Sonic Racing, that's pretty much it. Sonic Frontiers, SEGA should've knocked out Sonic Adventure 3. These SEGA collections have been knocking around for too long. There's been too much dumbness at SEGA.

Sega is no stranger to dumb decisions, they've had a lot of practice, having said that, I love the Sonic Racing games and the movies.

Sonic is great but he is nothing when compared to Mario. Nintendo just knows how to utilize Mario better like Mario Maker, Super Smash, Mario Kart, Mario RPG, Mario Paint. Sonic is not a utilizable enough like Mario. Mario can be adapted to different games. Sonic is pretty much run, run, run. Sure Sonic has his own other games but again he is nothing when compared to Mario.
