While it’s great to see Mario and his worlds in more detail, there’s nothing that’s going to make you gasp with awe. The HD graphics are beautiful, crisp and cartoony, but pretty much what you’d expect if you took the style of New Super Mario Bros Wii and New Super Mario Bros 2 into HD and improved the textures and the lighting. If you’re looking for features that showcase the hardware, then you might be mildly disappointed. What it is is something less newsworthy, but perhaps more rewarding in the long-run: New Super Mario Bros U is the best 2D Mario since the golden days of the SNES. While it puts the Wii U Pad to good use it’s not the kind of game that will necessarily sell systems, nor is it a groundbreaking Mario in the style of Super Mario World, Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy. The game also includes a Hints gallery if you find it difficult to make progress, a Super Guide that will finish levels for you, and reference videos for beating levels.įor those who find the game too easy, however, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe includes three new modes: Boost Rush, Challenges, and Coin Battle that offer more complex challenges.įinally, Luigi fans can rejoice, as all the DLC content from New Super Luigi U is also available for free, on launch.With the weight of the Wii U launch upon its shoulders, there’s a danger that New Super Mario Bros U will go underappreciated. She's a great character for new players to pick up due to how hard it is for her to fall off the stage. This gives her Peach-like abilities, such as floating. Toadette is an interesting addition, as she can transform into a character called Peachette by picking up a Super Crown in the game's levels.
The Toad you can play as is "Yellow Toad" from the original games, and while Blue Toad appears to have been removed and replaced with Toadette, you can actually play Blue Toad as a palette-swap of Yellow Toad by pressing the "ZL" button on the character select screen when Yellow Toad is chosen. Total, there are five playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Nabbit, Toad, and Toadette. One of the biggest differences is in the character roster. In addition to simply looking better, there are a number of changes and improvements from the original New Super Mario and Luigi U games.
