Ranking All 24 Badges In Super Mario Bros Wonder 

Nathaniel Bandy is too fast…. I have been bested this round…..

Fun fact with the invisibility badge: Stages that show invisible blocks under lights will also show the player when under those lights

I almost never took off the Parachute badge!! It felt so great to have an extended float that completely outclasses the normal twirl. Still cancelable midair, lets you go much farther, insanely accurate jumps, stupid good for stalling in the air, and can go up a wall infinitely!! It's insane to me that the game gives you the best badge in the game soo damn early. I only ever changed it out for the Dolphin (for obvious reasons) and the coin magnet for a last minute purple coin grind for standees post game.

The wall climb jump sounds great in THEORY, it’s really useless when the Parachute Cap, Floaty Jump, AND Grappling vine let you scale singular walls INFINITELY Edit: Jet run works too, and all four are pretty easy.

Damn, didn’t expect floating high jump to be so low. I used it for almost the entire game.

One small correction: The sensor badge doesn't just sense purple coins and wonder flowers. It also senses secret exits, as well as wonder seeds (after you've already gotten the wonder flower for the latter).

Here's some neat stuff about the Crouching Jump Badge: it starts charging it during a slide. You can also charge it while moving underground using the Drill Mushroom so no need to stop there, and the jump sometimes is high enough to reach the ceiling and start moving up there thanks to the Drill! Basically, you should try this badge with that powerup, they work in tandem very nicely

A tip with the invisibility badge, you can mash the X button to send emotes and it helps you locate where your character is. It’s a bit hard to do while platforming, but it works ig.

The spin jump is more like the one from Mario Galaxy than the propeller mushroom. It’s a small boost of height helpful for platforming, doesn’t have too much height and it’s good for reaching a place you can’t get to

Crouching Jump was my go to badge. It helped on almost every single stage and was especially useful for stages where you primarily use the drill powerup.

Floating high jump + bubble lets you rejump on your bubbles mid air really easily which made the badge a staple in my mario wonder playthrough

For me floating high jump is the best one because : - you get it relatively early in the game - you can do one sided wall jumps - you keep your normal moveset (unlike parachute cap, the wall jump one and the mid air twirl) because most of the time i just want to chain normal mid air spins - bonus : it plays like new super luigi u which is a game that i replayed so many times Conclusion : you get distance, height and time to adjust

Floating high jump was my bread and butter throughout the whole game when I got it, I personally found it very useful

R.I.P. The Ice Flower and Mini Mushroom

When I first saw the badges in the trailer I didn’t really like the edition of them. But after playing the game I think it was a really cool idea. One of my personal favorite badges is the auto super mushroom badge so you can get a better powerup instead of a mushroom. To be clear I don’t have a ranking or favorite badge yet.

5:47 I would honestly rank this one higher for how fun it is to pair with the drill mushroom. It’s definitely a more fun ability when you can keep your momentum and for sure one of my favorite ways to speed run levels in this game. I’m excited to see what people could do with the pair in a hypothetical Mario Maker 3

I wish the grappling vine worked more like the grappling hook works in Celeste Classic 2, where you can jump while the hook is touching the wall to get extra momentum. Would’ve easily been one of my faves cause it’s so fun

I honestly love jet run. Fun for Speedruning stages

Make a spirt battle for every single Mario wonder enemy in smash ultimate

Correction at around 13:13, not always. For example; the secret exit in Bulrush Express requires an elephant powerup be brought in, or the badge be used on the mushroom given at the start of the level.

Safety bounce is actually busted in conjunction with the bubble flower because bouncing on a bubble resets your safety bounce. This means that you can use it to infinitely skip across entire pits with ease

Love when devs of big studios get to represent themselves or make a little joke in their games, sound off and spin jump are my favourite badges.

Fun fact: The "Fast Dash" max speed is the same as the jet run badges speed

Drill power up allows you to jump into enemies from below, if an enemy drops on top of you it will take them out and it'll also block 'some' projectiles from above so it actually adds defense that other power ups don't have. Basically acts like spiny helmet from Mario Maker. I like the floaty jump because it gives aerial control and high jump without having to press any extra buttons, it can work as well as the spin boost badge.

Personally I think that the parachute cap is better than the spin boost, because it lets you do one-sided wall jumps, which is just really useful in general

The thing I couldn't get used to after the Parachute Cap when switching to the Boosting Spin Jump was that spin jump only works once before landing (including after wall jumps), whereas parachute can be used infinitely. Yeah spin jump gives you more vertical movement, but parachute is just more versatile imo.

To correct the placement of the grappling vine, the vine still lets you stall in the air, so the utility of the twirl is not lost. Instead, it can be used to get golden flagpoles (a required collectable) by latching onto the pole itself. Instead of replacing the utility of another badge, it just adds to your moveset. So, definitely top 2 badge for sure.

I was... uncharacteristically happy to see the number one pick. It didn't feel _TOO_ OP, because if I used it and reached a _wall,_ I didn't get it back when I jumped OFF the wall. It would've been so easy to abuse it if it reset from walls, but the stages still felt pretty difficult in the late game. The "hop" is perfect in its utility, and if/when I play the game again (Completed it earlier today), I kinda look forward to seeing if there's any other ways to use it.

Thanks for releasing a new video this quickly after another!

Couldnt agree more. I used the boosting spin jump for like 80% of my playthrough. Its so satisfying too :D

Honestly, Floating High Jump made Climb to the Beat a lot easier for me -- a lot of the walljumps in the stage make you lose a lot of height, and Floating High Jump pretty much completely counteracts that

amazing new video, been subbed for awhile and cant wait for 200k!

Another feature about the elephant fruit powerup is the boost in strength, pushing objects that can be pushed is significantly easier, and it allows one to hold extra large objects. I think it also makes pulling things easier too. Also I don't know if you already mentioned these benefits of the elephant fruit powerup already.

The crouching high jump ability pairs perfectly with the drill powerup, as you can charge it while moving underground, allowing you to pop up and sometimes into the ceiling.

The ! Block badge also adds blocks near the flagpole to assist in getting top flagpole clears. This is really useful for certain stages which require you to bounce off certain enemies which only spawn once, and saves you having to redo the stage for the flagpole

Super Mario bros 2 got game of the year since the dawn of time and will continue to do so

I can't wait for Mario Wonder badge ranking #2 today!

Watching your content is truly a _wonderful_ exexperience

WHERE MY CROUCHING HIGH JUMP FANS AT ‼‼🗣🗣🗣

i really need to try out some of the badges. for the entire game since around world 2 i just used the jet run the entire time because i found it so much fun... any sort of precise platforming or staying on a moving platform is horrifying and i love it also for the safety bounce; i feel like theres definitely cool stuff you can do with it - it wont be useful in every level but being able to bounce off the bottom of the screen can save you sure; but it can also be used to clear massive gaps or grabbing certain 10 coins that might take a bit of time. it could totally be used to skip waiting for moving platforms sometimes (jet run can do that too but its much harder)

knowing how and when to spin in mario galaxy definitely helped me a ton with the bonus spin jump in this game

Now I’m wondering when Odyssey is gonna rank the Zonai devices in Tears of the Kingdom

The crouch jump combos super well with the Drill power up, since you can keep your digging speed while charging the jump, and the jump attack extends the full distance

the grappling vine helped me clear the fluff peaks jump special for the earlier segments because it helps you do wall jumps with less precision and you can cling on the walls a while so you can time your next jump release

Personally, I think the drill is the best power-up in the game. You can avoid pretty much any obstacle by drilling, and there's no limit, so you can basically be invincible for the majority of a level. And the fact that you can drill under any enemy and instantly kill it is so much better than the fire and elephant attacks, even if it's more complicated. And being able to drill into the ceiling is super useful in a ton of levels, not just the drill-based ones.

The parachute hat is literally the only thing me and my brother have been using minus a few here and there. It’s just too good for safety and making it up a wall. Though when we get the improved spin jump I think we’ll use that more

The parachute cap is best imo, it even allows Mario to climb walls like the vine due to its slow falling and the fact that it can be used as many times as desired.

I just realized it’s been over a year since you did your 100k sub special & your gaining subs way faster than before. Although how would you rank every 2D mario stage would you include games like Mario bros, donkey kong 94 & maybe nsmbds versus mode stages, smm series story mode stages/single player stages & nsmbu’s challenge mode levels?

I watched Nathaniel B's Ranking Earlier and out of all the badges, only 3 of them tied. Those being 24: The Invisibility Badge. 4: Timed High Jump. and 1. Boosting Spin Jump. Sensor almost tied, but they were one apart from each other, His being at number 12 and yours being at number 11.

16:40 not only is this music such a vibe but its the glide theme from Minecraft lmao i love this channel

The crouching high jump badge is my favorite badge because of how it doesn't change the gameplay or mario's moveset, which I can just use it when I want to, unlike most other badges which significant alters mario's moveset and the gameplay

Personally I think Drill is the best powerup in general. Being able to jump into enemies from below, and defeat larger/spiked enemies (such as Bulrush or Piranha Plant) with the ground pound is really nice. The burrow can also safely defeat enemies if you jump while directly beneath them. You don't have to worry about getting hit while in the air trying to stomp them, or missing a jump entirely. There are some cases where Drill can also take the "Elephant only" brick block paths/puzzles. This is because they can dig under the bricks and break them as long as the flooring can be burrowed in. Can't also forget that you can't take damage from enemies when burrowed. Elephant kinda loses its worth once you've already gotten all the collectables or don't need Coins anymore (since they tend to involve watering flowers if it requires Elephant). At that point it only has the trunk swing melee attack (and carrying giant shells in SPECIFIC levels). Reflecting projectiles is cool and all... until you remember Drill can just hide underground and avoid them (most of the time). Fire Flower is just a worse Bubble. The only niche is that the fireballs are much faster, can trigger explosive enemies from a distance (instead of Bubble just immediately defeating them), and breaking ice blocks. Bubble works VERY well in tandem with Drill. If you have one, you should have the other in your item storage slot. The combined mobility/defense of the 2 is perfection.

I used the Floating High Jump for a majority of my playthrough. There were so many times when i was just barely able to reach something because of the extra height I had, and that made it extremely useful for me.

The crouching high jump is actually a lot of fun to use with the drill mushroom since you can charge it while moving around underground. You aren’t slowed down while using it that way and it’s easier to get into the ceiling. I recommend it for each level that is built around the drill power-up.

The boosted spin was me and my brothers favourite badge too and we didn't use any other badge after getting it too its just so useful.

Excited for the new Wonder videos!

Boosting Spin Jump makes getting flag poles so easy as well. Definitely my default badge of choice.

I went into this game thinking the grappling vine would be my favorite, but after 100%ing it I can confidently say that the parachute cap is my favorite for so many different reasons.

Honestly, the parachute cap is just an all around great badge, it gives great mobility, can get you out of sticky situations, and really unique to. My top three would probaly be 1. Parachute cap 2. Wall jump 3. Run float

i used the floaty jump for like 90% of the levels since it works when jumping off of enemies and wall jumps. But for sections were base jump height is nearly essential, i had to take it off lol

Glad you're here with the badge video, i had a few disagreements with Nathaniel bandy's video

The utility of the Elephant powerup is incredible and I have found that even on some stages that the fruit isn't on, the elephant fruit will make them significantly easier and trivialize certain things since the Elephant drunk and hipdrop will actually defeat some foes you normally can't.

The parachute cap alsso lets you climb walls by wall jumping and then using the parachute to float back on the wall you jumped off of.

Something about your voice makes these tier list videos so much more entertaining, please do a ranking on all the Mario power ups

I love Jet Run. I was able to get it early in my playthrough as soon and I (almost) never looked backed. It's so fun breezing thru everyone while playing online and having to crouch to not run to my death lol

Dude, one hundred and SIXTY NINE thousand subscribers. Nice!

Floating Jump is top 3 Badges in the game. Higher jumps means more mobilty. It's ALL jumps. So much parkour increased.

Spin jump boost is so good! Like you, I used it pretty much all the time after I unlocked it.

i love the parachute cap. favorite badge in the game,just so clean to use

I like the parachute cap badge the most, and I ended up using it for most of the game. Along with the intended abilities it gives you, you can also scale any flat wall easily.

I used exclusively parachute cap except in the badge challeneges. It's literally the best because it can do what literally every other badge offers (outside of one offs) that is useful

Im expecting nsmb ds 2-3 to crack the top 100 in the 2d mario ranking. Also you are insane for actually going through with ranking every 2d mario level. I am so sorry that you have to play and rank the 52 lost levels

I had to put a piece of cello tape vertically over my entire monitor while completing the invisible portion of the final badge challenge. You still have to gauge your jump arcs, but knowing the character always lands within the width of the piece of tape was really helpful. Never used the badge otherwise.

Its kind of interesting at how even if 2 youtubers post a ranking list in the same day, the opinion and thought processes can vary quite a lot I mean Nathanial Bandy has a large portion of his top 5 in your

I liked crouching high jump because I could activate it out of a slide, reach the top of any flagpole from standing on the stone base, and the drill power up’s utility keeping full speed

I think the Parachute cap actually is the best. Using it, the cap makes you also be able to scale any wall, as well as all the other stuff you said.

Little bonus with the grappling vine if you hit the like top 1/5 of a flag pols with it it automatically sends you to the very top

at 7:00 you say you can no longer twirl, which is kinda true, the beggining press shoots out the vine, but if you press it again right after it shoots out, youll twirl. its finicky, but works

the drill power up is extremely good because it makes you completely untouchable, and you dont even lose any speed!!! there are so so so many places in the game where this power up completely cheeses the challenge bc you can just dig under or over it, especially if you combine it with the crouching high jump to easily jump to the ceiling whenever you want

I always used the floating high jump badge and i think the opposite can be true: if you use the badge too much, it'll be harder to adjust with other badges. I understand the opinion however since some levels were a bit tedious at times.

fun fact: both fast dash and jet run give the same speed boost at max. speed, a 25% boost; just that the jet run feels like more because of the instant-acceleration speedrunners want a talk with you over the fast dash commentary 🙃 also, i love dolphin so much for water levels, but this limits to a solid 4 levels out of the so many levels in the entire game (3 + water wiggler), so imo it does not deserve to be so high ranking in the general of the game

I will actually watch this video after I beat the game, but I will go ahead and predict that this was an great video!

Ive been waiting for this video forever (4 days)

i KNEW the boosted spin jump was gonna be number 1. i also did the same thing as you - once i got it i basically never unequipped it

I used the parachute hat for almost the entire game, only taking it off when I really needed to. Eventually, near the end of the game, I opened my eyes to the spin jump badge and I have not taken it off since

„some are bound to be worse than others“ - Oddyssey Central prior to every ranking

The badges were such an amazing addition, I’ve already 100% the game and I’m still finding ways to beat levels using badges it’s AWESOME!!!!

I’m new to super Mario bros wonder what badges should I use I love the power up badges and I love the drill and the Elephant one

Okay but floating high jump #17 is a crime, that badge is top 1 in the game for me. I used it in basically every level except the badge challenges and it just made the game so much easier

Crouching high jump pairs amazingly with drill power up, as you can run whilst in the ground.

Feels great when I pick a power up to be my favorite and use it throughout basically my whole playthrough and Odyssey Central ranks it at #1

I love the boosting spin it is super useful👍

Nathaniel bandy had posted this video today, and his first and last place ranking are the exact same, which is a coincidence.

The crouching high jump can be used to easily reach flagpole tops making it extremely useful for 100% completion

One addition to the invis badge: When you emote it should show it directly over your head, meaning that you can get a better idea of where you are

I find myself using the Parachute Cap most of the time and its my favorite badge.

You made the right #1 choice. The double jump mechanic in any platformer feels so right

I watched both this and Nathaniel Bandy's back to back and here are how they add up: 24. Both Invisibility 23. OC: Spring Movement. NB: Sound Off 22. OC: Sound Off. NB: Coin reward 21. OC: Rythm Jump. NB: Coin Magnet 20. OC: Coin Reward. NB: Jet Run 19. OC: Crouching High Jump. NB: Auto Super Mushroom 18. OC: Grappling Vine. NB: All Fire Power 17. OC: Floating High Jump. NB: All Drill Power 16. OC: Coin Magnet. NB: All Bubble Power 15. OC: Fast Dash. NB: All Elephant Power 14. OC: Jet Run. NB: Safety Bounce 13. OC: Wall Climb Jump. NB: Spring Feet 12. OC: Safety Bounce. NB: Sensor 11. OC: Sensor. NB: Rythm Jump 10. OC: Add! Blocks NB: Dolphin Kick 9. OC: Auto Super Mushroom NB: Parachute Cap 8. OC: All Drill Power NB: Add! Blocks 7. OC: All Fire Power NB: Wall Climb Jump 6. OC: All bubble Power NB: Grappling Vine 5. OC: All Elephant Power NB: Fast Dash 4. OC: Timed High Jump NB: Timed High Jump 3. OC: Dolphin Kick NB: Crouching High Jump 2. OC: Parachute Cap NB: Floating High Jump 1. Both Boost Spin Jump So in total they have 2 in the same spot and 22 not.

imo the floating high jump is just like the boosting spin jump since they can reach the same height but better cuz it can let you float for a little
