I personally bought it because it looked like some innovation on the 2D Mario formula, which -to me- had become stale with New Super Mario Bros. The little I played multiplayer, I didn't find it particularly great, mostly when players have very different level of skill. I think this might be a case of “correlation does not imply causation.” But what do I know 🤷

What's a safe bet is -as the article says- the movie definitely helped boost sales, as it did with older titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Yeah… multiplayer was actually not that good in this game. Camera was unforgiving, online was weird and felt detached and non-inclusive. I bought the game to play locally and online with family, but all of us lost interest by the time we hit some cloudy area. In contrast, I had a great time with that Mickey game and the Yoshi one from a few years back. Wonder’s multiplayer should really not be getting fluff pieces.

I am glad other people had fun with the multiplayer, but I agree with you. Playing Wonder with my young kids was just painful, especially compared to Kirby, Yoshi, and some others.

I like the single player though.
