In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, enemies that do not appear together in the same area during finished gameplay nevertheless have correct interactions when the game is edited to put them together, such as the Urchin correctly bouncing on the Hoppo in the footage.
Unlike the New Super Mario Bros. series games, where interactions of objects were programmed in on a case-by-case basis and would as such result in unintended combinations of objects simply not working, Super Mario Bros. Wonder uses a completely different approach to coding that appears to be inspired by the Super Mario Maker series instead, where each object is expected to interact with each other object.
Instead of programming individual interactions, each object is part of a hierarchy of object types that inherit interaction from their parent types, allowing e.g. each enemy to inherit the "bounce on bouncy surfaces" property despite the finished game not using it for that enemy. Whether this was merely inspired by the ease of editing courses in Super Mario Maker, or indicative of Nintendo wishing to implement Super Mario Bros. Wonder into a new Super Mario Maker game, is currently unknown.
