For all the spectacle and creativity found in Mario’s latest adventure, it starts off in rather conventional fashion. Mario and his friends are visiting Prince Florian in the neighbouring Flower Kingdom. When the prince shows off the castle’s Wonder Flower, it’s stolen by Bowser who uses its powers for his own nefarious means. Needless to say, Mario and his mates set off on a quest to retrieve the precious artefact.
One of the games is that you never quite knew what to expect when navigating a new stage. Sure, you’re introduced to new base mechanics, but they were simple building blocks that would lay the groundwork for a dazzling array of ingenuity while you explored. The same thing happens with and it’s largely due to the Wonder Seeds that the plucky plumber must recover.
