VGChartz's Evan Norris: "2023 was an eclectic year for platformers. No matter your platforming taste or proclivity, there was something in the last 12 months to satisfy you. For fans of the off-beat humor and ingenuity of the Wario Land series, Pizza Tower appeared as a proper spiritual successor. For those craving the speed and style of Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk delivered an amazing urban playground in which to vibe. And for old-school platform aficionados raised in the 1990s, there was plenty of nostalgic goodness, including a new Sonic game, Sonic Superstars, and the first new 2D Super Mario adventure in over a decade, Super Mario Wonder."
Following the success of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, Team Reptile appears to be keen on working further on the franchise with more games.
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
