Story & Themes
The Wonderful 101 does have a storyline, but it's mostly a means of providing some justification for the game's combat. Alien terrorists from a group called the Geathjerk Federation Armada have attacked Earth, and only the Wonderful Ones can stop them from destroying the planet. The Wonderful Ones are a group of 100 superheroes with the special ability to unite their powers and transform into different objects. Players will utilize the various effects of this ability to solve puzzles, explore areas, and, most importantly, battle enemy alien forces.
Difficulty
The game has three different difficulty modes, and the easiest makes it nearly impossible for players to die.
Heads Up!
Violence Combat is cartoon-ish, with occasional green blood present. The superheroes morph into a variety of giant weapons, such as swords and whips, to fight off enemies. Most of the enemies are robots, though some are slightly humanoid aliens.
Sex & Nudity Characters will occasionally make suggestive comments, though nothing explicit.
Substance Use One of the superheroes is known as "Wonder-Beer," and he wears a beer mug helmet.
