I'm very satisfied with what we got. Nintendo needs to save some never before remade tracks, like Wario Colosseum and Toad's Factory, for the next game, so I won't include those in my list.
But, it does sting a little to not see these return:
It's nice to see The Mysterious Murasame Castle get another release. This is only its second release outside of Japan after its 3DS Virtual Console release.
The Lost Levels is one hell of a BS game with hidden blocks, pipes that send you back to previous worlds, and some truly tough gimmicks, like the wind, so it gets my vote.
Hardest 3D Mario is a toss-up between Galaxy 2 and 3D World.
I already played through World 1, and I'm having a blast. There is so much level variety. I love that not every level is a standard get to the goal stage.
@LilyGoMEOW Hey! I didn't know you're here as well. I've been recording some buddy levels lately on SMM1. I'm playing through Drew Winter's levels right now. Whisper me on Twitch or Discord if there are any you want me to play, and I'll play them on Twitch and then upload to YouTube.
@Nintendo_Thumb Thank you for all of the work you've done across the years. I'm Adrian in SMM1/Adrian117 in SMM2, and I appreciate you playing through many of my levels.
I've got a few SMM1 recommendations of mine that I don't think you've played through.

I enjoyed the first game. It wasn't amazing, but the interactions between Tim and Pikachu were cute, and I thought the overarching plot with R was well executed. I'll play this game eventually, but it's not a priority.
I was always going to focus on SMB Wonder this month, and I think many Nintendo fans will do the same. Delaying Batman until December also makes a lot of sense considering that Spider Man 2 comes out on PS5 this month, and people will be focused on that superhero game instead.
I'm loving the new tracks. I think Mute City II and Port Town I are my favorites so far. I've also already raced on some tracks from the final cup in Pro Tracks like Death Wind II and Port Town II.
I'm only potentially interested in RDR2 on Switch if it isn't a cloud port, but this is one game that I think is better saved for Nintendo's next system.
It's just a repeat of footage from the SMB Wonder Direct, but it's nice to be reminded that we're mere weeks away from Mario's next platformer. I'm super excited.
I appreciate competing with all of the other players on the same screen. It makes the battle royale feel much more alive than in Nintendo's previous offerings. F-Zero 99 is such a treat.
F-Zero 99 is incredible. It tops SMB 35 as my favorite battle royale that's been offered on Switch. I love how high octane it is, and the boosting adds a tactical element to races.
It was one of the weaker Directs in recent memory with many remakes taking the spotlight. F-Zero 99 was a nice surprise, though, and I like how Princess Peach Showdown plays.
Mario Kart Tour wasn't my favorite game, but it gave us a lot of content, and it ultimately led to more tracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which I'm thankful for.

Re: Talking Point: Which Old Track Do You Wish Had Made It Into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
I'm very satisfied with what we got. Nintendo needs to save some never before remade tracks, like Wario Colosseum and Toad's Factory, for the next game, so I won't include those in my list.
But, it does sting a little to not see these return:

DS Luigi's Mansion
DS Delfino Square
DS Airship Fortress
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 6 Speeds Onto Switch Next Week
I'm very happy to see DK Mountain return. It's one of my all time favorites. And no one expected Rosalina's World to return. What a shocker.

I've had this game on my radar for a while. I'm glad Nunu is as good as it looks.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Most Difficult Mainline Mario Game?
The Lost Levels is one hell of a BS game with hidden blocks, pipes that send you back to previous worlds, and some truly tough gimmicks, like the wind, so it gets my vote.
Hardest 3D Mario is a toss-up between Galaxy 2 and 3D World.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
@Baler The Super Mario World castle theme is still one of the best Mario songs ever over 30 years later.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Re: Random: Super Mario Maker Players Want To 100% The Game While They Still Can
I think this is an amazing project, and I wish Team 0% the best. I'll even try to clear a few levels myself.

Re: Review: Detective Pikachu Returns - Drab-Looking But Fun Forensics For The Fam
I enjoyed the first game. It wasn't amazing, but the interactions between Tim and Pikachu were cute, and I thought the overarching plot with R was well executed. I'll play this game eventually, but it's not a priority.
Re: 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends In "Early April 2024"
End of an era.
It's time to boot up Super Mario Maker, Splatoon 1, and Mario Kart 7 for a few more rodeos.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Has Been Delayed Until December
I was always going to focus on SMB Wonder this month, and I think many Nintendo fans will do the same. Delaying Batman until December also makes a lot of sense considering that Spider Man 2 comes out on PS5 this month, and people will be focused on that superhero game instead.
Re: Review: Horizon Chase 2 - More Arcade Racing, With Some Bumps In The Road
I love the original Horizon Chase Turbo, and I'll check this one out sometime down the line, but it's a damn shame the environments are so drab.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch Rating Surfaces Online
I'm only potentially interested in RDR2 on Switch if it isn't a cloud port, but this is one game that I think is better saved for Nintendo's next system.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Overview Trailer Is A Wonderful Recap Of Game's New Features

Re: Review: F-Zero 99 - A Brilliant Battle-Royale Revival That Plays To The Series' Strengths
I appreciate competing with all of the other players on the same screen. It makes the battle royale feel much more alive than in Nintendo's previous offerings. F-Zero 99 is such a treat.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Lands A New Physical Edition With DLC Included This November
I feel burned just like I was with Streets of Rage 4 when it got another physical release with the DLC on the cartridge.
Re: Takaya Imamura Expresses His Love For F-Zero 99, Awaits 'Revival Of The IP'
F-Zero 99 is incredible. It tops SMB 35 as my favorite battle royale that's been offered on Switch. I love how high octane it is, and the boosting adds a tactical element to races.
Re: Poll: What Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 6 DLC Racer Are You Most Excited About?
Definitely Pauline. It's nice to see her in a console Mario Kart.
Re: F-ZERO 99 Turns The Classic Racer Into A 99-Player Battle Royale, On NSO Today
@Spider-Kev I assume you're counting the F-Zero minigame in Nintendo Land.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct, Then?
It was one of the weaker Directs in recent memory with many remakes taking the spotlight. F-Zero 99 was a nice surprise, though, and I like how Princess Peach Showdown plays.
Re: Fasten Your Seatbelts, Horizon Chase 2 Is Out Now On The Switch eShop
I enjoyed the first game, so I'll check this out eventually.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Will Receive No New Content After October's 'Battle Tour', Says Nintendo
Mario Kart Tour wasn't my favorite game, but it gave us a lot of content, and it ultimately led to more tracks for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which I'm thankful for.
Re: Demon Slayer Is Getting The Mario Party Treatment In 2024
This is wacky as hell, but it's nice to see an anime game that isn't a fighting game or an RPG.
Re: Poll: Who Will You Be Playing As In Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
I'll first play as Mario or Luigi, then I want to pull out Daisy since it's her first mainline Mario platformer appearance.
