I ran into a similar problem as Mario Wonder but with DKC Tropical Freeze while playing with my seven year old. Just the presence of a health counter seemed to have a chilling effect, even when playing as Funky Kong (and she’d insist on playing as Diddy anyway). We gave up pretty quickly and went back to (what else?) Minecraft.
She can hold her own quite well in Mario Kart, though. Even without the accessibility options turned on

A bummer about Super Mario Wonder: there's a character who doesn't take any damage, but they also can't use any items. A kid-unfriendly combination!
