Super Mario Bros. U is a classic platform Nintendo game that successfully introduced new worlds and levels to add to the vast universe of the Mushroom Kingdom. Sending Mario on carefree adventures to save the princess captures the all-too-well-known essence of Super Mario. This version introduces a more child-friendly character, Nabbit, who is immune to most enemies, thus making the game more accessible to people of all ages. The 2-D platformer presents whole new worlds of secrets and techniques that previously were not available to players. Being the very first high-definition Mario game, there is a lot of newer content to unpack.
New Super Mario Bros. U features a heap of new characters with features of different accessibilities, Toadette – Easy to control, Nabbit – invincible to enemies, Peachette – Toadettes human form, and of course, the classic Mario and Luigi duo. The appeal of new characters to try is even more enhanced with some of the newest power-ups added to the script. From traditional mushrooms and flowers to new plants and objects that give you the power of flight, a plethora of exciting material is given out. Using the Crown, Toadette comes into her Peach-like humanoid form which grants her the ability to float effortlessly over obstacles. The equivalent of this would be the squirrel suit for all other characters besides Nabbit (Because of his already overpowered abilities).
For players who enjoy a challenge, The New Super Luigi U mode offers much harder levels where you play as the underrated (and much better), Luigi. All the carefree warmth about the game is sucked out and thrown away and instead turned into a heart-racing game mode where focus is key. While playing stages in the original mode builds up your confidence in being able to beat the game, Luigi Mode leaves players feeling abashed while still pushing to overcome the challenge. The new levels bring so much more to the table, as variety makes the game feel so much bigger.
Overall it’s easy to access that Super Mario Bros. U provides users with fun for all ages. The modern 2-D platformer promises the striking classic adventure we all know and love from the Mario franchise. Clever levels and beautiful designs provide endless satisfaction and excitement. Whether you enjoy the quick and easy Nabbit or the more challenging Luigi, anyone can find entertainment in the world Mario supplies.
