Wowie Zowie! Let's talk about Super Mario Bros Wonder!

I finally got to play this, thanks to my best friend lending me his Switch! Having done 100% of the game*, I'd say I liked it very much, though I didn't love it.
I do love Elephant Mario, though. Best new power-up in years.
*I'm not gonna spend time grinding flower coins to buy all the Standees, sorry.
It's obviously super creative and charming at every turn, and visually it's a delight, but the level design itself didn't feel that interesting most of the time. Outside of seeing what new wacky things a wonder flower was going to do, most of the levels are very linear and not particularly challenging. Having said that, the devs clearly loved making it and there's real joy to be found.

Because Daisy is in all the multiplayer things and people like her? I mean I agree they could add Pauline too but removing Daisy would be weird since she's part of the core group.
I'd rather they added Rosalina anyway.

Call me a traditionalist but I only ever want to see Mario, green Mario, red toad and blue toad.

I mean, this is me but I'm middle aged.
I've mained Pink Girl Mario at every opportunity since 1988.
Personally, 3D overwhelms my 100% completionist tendencies and I waste vast amounts of time checking every corner and seam (case in point: my GOTY Zelda TOTK where I haven't gotten around to doing a single palace yet). With my limited playtime as an adulting person, it takes months and months to finish a 3D game. A great 2D game like Wonder or Metroid Dread allows me to finish a game before I get burned out.
I can relate to this.
I am 100% down for this.
But is this under the intention that they would all play identically, or differently? If the latter, how would you differentiate them?
In Super Mario 3D World, Peach had her float, while Rosalina had her spin that also acted as a double-jump, IIRC. So that leaves Daisy with...?

True
And the superball.
Even better, when Daisy gets the Starman, the music from SML plays. If Pauline gets it, the music for the hammer from Donkey Kong.
Huh, okay.
Stuff seems a little overpowered next to a float jump and a spin, unless they got something else as well, but okay.
