Super Mario Bros. Wonder Has Been Updated To Version 1.0.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

RIP Version 1.0

Wow…downloaded mere minutes before I rolled credits. Crisis averted.

This update proves how incomplete the game was at launch. Can't believe they ship an incomplete game on the cart.

I hope the sarcasm was obvious lol

Did this get rid of the speedrunning tech?

More wonderful than ever!

Was there a typo in the credits? Or did they just forget to mention one of the developers?

@TheMegaMarshtomp : It's more likely that they had forgotten to mention one of the Korean translators or something.

"Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience."

Really hate vague notes like this.

The only problem right now is that each player can't individually choose their run/jump buttons.

@nukatha that and the camera

@axelhander Of course Nintendo won’t mention what their mistakes were : )

Surprised there isn’t a bunch of “Waaa now my cartridge is useless since it’s ‘incomplete’ ” that you usually see here when a game dares to get a single update.

I wonder if they removed the visible crown over the primary player’s head in two player for invisibility sections

My physical copy is still sealed. Wonder (no pun intended) if when finally decide to play, will still function normally out of case with no internet connection(?).

@sd7232 it will.

@sd7232 : It will, but some games have since been rendered unplayable without the latest software updates, such as ARMS.

@sd7232 You might need to update if you want to use the online functions, but there should be no issues with the base game.

Unless watching the un-updated credits is literally a game breaker for you.

@Altaria_97 I was pleasantly amazed, no, downright shocked that the game played right off the cartridge, it has been a while since that happened...

It does make me Wonder what the stability will be like

I wished they'd give us multiple save slots, so I don't have to create a new user in order to play a separate game with my family. This is a huge oversight.

@CazSonOfCaz : Yeah, I mentioned that in the survey I was e-mailed. I also don't like how everyone's save data is essentially accessible to all. If my nieces/nephews come over and want to play on my system, I'd rather load the game on my dummy profile so that my actual profile doesn't accidentally get deleted.

Hoping for some kind of hard mode in a future update, because, while being good anyway, this was probably one of the easiest Nintendo game I've ever played

I wonder (pun intended) if they've fixed what I think is a bug where sometimes when you collect a purple 10-coin and die in the process of attempting to grab it, the coin is still marked as collected, whereas other times you'd have to collect it again without dying in the process. Could never work out which of these outcomes Nintendo was hoping for, but assume the way that has worked since launch is some kind of bug?

As good as the game was, I don't think this update is reason enough to fire it back up again so soon.

did they forget to credit Grant Kirkhope again for using the DK song?

@JohnnyMind @KingdomTears this has happened to me as well, I thought it was intentional. What I thought was happening was if got a purple coin, then got to a checkpoint then died it stay marked as collected but if I got a purple coin and died without getting a checkpoint then I still have to get it again. That was my understanding at least. Personally I don’t like the idea of the coin staying collected if you die because there are some coins that are put in a dangerous place that take some actual skill to get without dying, kinda takes a lot away from that if you can just grab it and die on the attempt and still keep it

@Darthmoogle 100% agree with your take there. Would much rather that the game didn't default to easy-mode, when the big coin collecting has always (since the "new" series anyhow) been the more challenging aspect of 2D Mario titles, and simply completing the game has always been fairly easy.

@Sisilly_G What happens if you try to play an unpatched ARMS?

So, no more item duplication? How lame.

@TechaNinja : You're told that a software update is required. Even if you set your console to flight mode, Nintendo has rendered the Version 1.0 cartridges unusable without an update.

I recently recall both Jeopardy/Wheel of Fortune not working without updates when I inserted the cartridge into my sister's Switch. There would be other examples not springing to mind right now, but they do seem to be in the minority at least.

Good, now we need a patch for Super Mario RPG Remake to make it run smoother and fix the hideous frame rates drops and stuttering.

I'm really enjoying this game, and am up to the lava section, but have no idea what a "heart point" is, I guess because I've only been playing offline? Anyway, shows you the way games should be released, mostly perfect the first time.

@Darthmoogle I think it works as you said: You keep the collectible if you hit a checkpoint before dying but forfeit otherwise. But I have questioned myself on that now and then, thinking I'd secured something only to discover later I hadn't. I found a couple of levels last night I thought I had "fully completed" but were missing one flower coin. I would agree that it doesn't seem fair to award a collectible if you die before reaching a checkpoint. I've actually gone back and "rectified" that a few times on my own, so I could say I achieved it without charity.

can they add a save point after every section of the last badge marathon level.... I am never getting through that with it. the one every 3 sections is not enough lol.

Any hard mode? No? So…i won`t buy…

@Rykdrew Since when did a 2D Mario platformer have a hard mode? I mean, besides the SMB2 for Super/Lost Levels?

@sd7232
Unless SMB Wonder turns out to have a homebrew entry point, no. Historically, Nintendo only ever blocked a few games from starting if they weren't on the latest version, like SmileBASIC on 3DS.

@Narrator1 New Luigi U in New Super Mario U Deluxe...

@BoFiS Heart points come from interacting with other players online, such as saving their ghosts or finishing levels at the same time as them. They don't do anything other than show how helpful you are.

This is why I don't preorder your boxed releases anymore, Nintendo.

@Pod I'd agree with the general sentiment, but this particular boxed release ran just fine in 1.0.0. This update only really affects you if you were attempting to speedrun or artificially inflate your online Heart Point score.
