Ah, Mario. The beloved gaming series for generations. Ever since New Super Mario Bros. DS the NSMB games have been great! I have to say, this by far is the best game in the NSMB series.

Story

Mario, Luigi, Blue toad, and Yellow toad are the main characters. Pretty much they are all having dinner when a huge hand comes and swipes Peach and smashes the brothers to Acorn Plains. They then meet some different odd Yoshis. Bubble Baby Yoshi, which shoots bubbles, Balloon Baby Yoshi which turns into a Balloon that the brothers (and toads) ride on. Then the go on an adventure to save princess peach and the Mushroom Kingdom.

They then head return to Peach's Castle and battles Bowser, and they saves the day! And Mario gets a kiss by Peach.

Gameplay

Pretty much the same as the others. Most of the power-up features return along with a new one, the Super Acorn which turns the player into a squirrel. It is a 4 player game, however a 5th player may join, by using Boost mode and assisting other players.


Modes

Boost mode: Boost mode where the players put blocks over obstacles to help another player.
Challenge mode: Do an objective within a time-limit.
Story mode: The main story.

Worlds

1 Acorn Plains
2 Layer-cake dessert
3 Sparkling waters
4 Frosted glacier
5 Soda jungle
6 Rock-candy mines
7 Meringue clouds
8 Peach's Castle

Add-on Content

New super Luigi U was released where you play as Luigi and the color was changed a bit for Luigi.

What I say
Get this fun Wii U game. I love it. Best NSMB game yet.


Graphics: 7/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Controls: 10/10
Music: 9/10
Online: 0/10 (There is none!)

Good review Denim. Nicely written, short and sweet, and straight to the point.

I saw this game when Reggie and Jimmy were testing the Wii U on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. It got me really excited for the game plus the Wii U. The graphics are flawless.

My only advice, is to maybe add an overall rating?

Good review!
