      Personally since the soul seems confined to the gameplay I would say it's more ludosoul than anything else.
      I'll think about buying once we see a longer stretch of gameplay.

        there's actually a theory around this phenomenon where its believed there is an as of yet unidentified pathogen that causes people to become gay pedophiles, and the pathogen spreads that way likely carried through semen or fecal matter which is why children that are victims of gay pedophiles often become gay pedophiles themselves

        Agreed. Even if Mario and the gang keep their current style, a majority of the backgrounds feel like they need simplifying. Something along the lines of what SMW offered with larger, but less detailed, designs. You want to feel like there's depth to the scene, but not necessarily that you should have the freedom to run back there when it's not meant to be a 3D space.

          You make some good points, and if nothing else they definitely need a lot more contrast so everything doesn't smear together so egregiously. I've noticed that Nintendo is a huge fan of super low contrast lately.

    Super Mario Bros changed my life. Not only do I have great memories of playing it, but it taught me how to overcome immense conflict in life. I was (and still am) very depressed, and getting out of bed in the morning was a struggle. I always described to my friends as feeling "small" before I even knew what Super Mario Bros was. You can imagine how much the game spoke to me when I first played it. Mario never gives up. He dies over and over and keep getting up again and again to run the same course, all to fulfill his purpose, to chase his dreams, to bring about justice. It's bright, and colorful most of the time, hiding the true nature of his cruel world, but when he reaches that flag, it makes you feel new again. When Mario arrives in a new world after countless tries, his purpose is restored and he starts to fit in the world around him. Much like real life, we struggle, and find new obstacles, we feel pathetic and dumb, but those small drops of joy and accomplishment that refill our strength keeps us going. That is what makes living worth it, through all the pain. Super Mario Bros is about life, and that struggle. It's about existence, and trying to find meaning in a vast universe, full of greater things than ourselves. It's about people, and their desire to be more than a bystander to a cycle of pain.

    "Soul" means something that was made with genuine passion and creative drive.
    "Soulless" means the opposite, something made for time and efficiency just to make money.
    Little touches like Mario grabbing his hat when he enters the pipe are a classic feature of soulful games: It might be just a little thing some dev added in an afternoon because he thought it'd be a cute idea. No executive explicitly TOLD the artist to do that, it's something that happens out of genuine passion for the game.
    But the fact the Mario Wonder thing consists of nothing BUT such "little touches" proves they're not actually the product of individual devs allowing their imagination and talent run wild. No, it's just a cynical attempt to capture the superficial features of what makes a game "soulful". It's part of a deliberate plan handed out by money-grubbing executive producers. The artist who made that animation was being COMPELLED to do it. Hence, "artificial"/"forced" soul.

      You know, when you're assuming all this from a mere trailer, that's when I know you've grown a bit too cynical yourself, ironically enough. Like do you really see the new animations and is your first assumption that this is some executive-mandate to liven things up instead of the crew genuinely wishing to do so?
      They could have shat out another NSMB and sold 15 mil without breaking a sweat. Wonder is the first time in ages where I feel the 2D Mario team is actually giving a frick outside of Maker.
