Is New Super Mario Bros. U Bad?

[@VinnimonCinnimon]

Stand alone, U is one of the best ones. It's just the fact that it exists relative to the other ones, so those being previous titles, holds it back. It would've been received a lot better had it released outside of the NSMB fatigue. I feel like even a change of soundtrack would've done wonders for this game.

[@Ninblasto]

This will forever be my favorite NSMB game, or even my favorite 2D Mario game.

[@VinnimonCinnimon]

@@ollieguy6781 it's fine to feel that way, it's quite literally why I said stand alone lol. The concepts it lifts from World like the interconnected map and baby Yoshi's I feel are debatable on which one would prefer (especially as someone who prefers U to World in terms of design, no questions asked) it's also easy to see why someone could prefer literally any other Mario Bros game. Like I said, it's held back by it's predecessors. Like you said, there isn't much it's done to distinguish itself from any of the others.

[@revolvingworld2676]

@@harrybest2041 Yes, that's a valid factor. Remember when people were hating and trashing on 3D World for not being a true "3D Mario experience"? And suddenly people changed their tune when it rereleased on the switch after the bias they had before Odyssey? Outside factors changed peoples opinions and peoples perceptions were biased. Proving that in standalone 3D World was an excellent game. It was the same for Super Paper Mario. It was trashed because it wasn't a true RPG experience, but after sticker star everyone is suddenly "Hey SPM is pretty good actually" You have to look at a game in a vacuum without bias or outside factors clouding your judgement.

I am happy to see more people talk about their Wii U memories in a positive way. This console is finally getting the love it deserves. I actually like New Super Mario Bros U but it is far from my favorite Wii U game so I would give it a solid 7 out of 10. I personally think that it suffers a lot from the direct concurrence the game has with much better 2D plateformers on the console like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze or Yoshi’s Woolly World.

One of the most disappointing things about this game is world 8. I like the idea of remaking old levels in a lava theme-that would’ve been really cool. Sadly, the short length of this world makes it very anticlimactic. The final bowser fight is especially disappointing because all you do is hit bowser in the head three times. I loved in nsmbwii when bowser chases you as the finale; what better way to end a platforming game than by sending the player through an epic final gauntlet with intense music and a terrifying boss? The ending of nsmbu doesn’t get my adrenaline going like that unfortunately.

This game gets way too much hate, yeah it reuses the world themes, but they make them into really creative spins, like how the grassland has a bunch of snow mountains, abd themed around acorns, the desert being themed around desserts, then jungle being giant, the mountains looking like spectacles, the beach being in a rocky grotto, the sky being above the mushroom kingdom so you see the gumdrop mountains peaking through, and the lava world being peaches castle.

Just like you, SMBU was the first game I got for the WiiU and I got it for Christmas on the same year the game released. So looking back on this game was really nostalgic. This game will most certainly be one of the most memorable 2D Mario games for me. I loved how they built upon previously established worlds and even brought back new level designs that really set it apart from the other games. I don't know why a lot of people have just forgotten about this game or dismissed it as another "generic 2D Mario game", it really was amazing for me when I was a kid!

[@JoseViktor4099]

The problem was not exactly the game, but the context around it. NSMBU felt just like a level pack of NSMBW, which also felt like a reskin of NSMB DS. If the game did actually tried to be a little more orginal (diferent art style, diferent setting...) it would had been much more well received that it was at the moment. Be aware than at the time the game released, Nintendo was trying to not arriesgate anything. Wii U , Super Mario Galaxy 2, Nintendo 3DS, Super Mario 3D World was in development , which relays too much from 3D Land,Mario Kart 7, NSMB2 ,the freaking Sticker Star issue...All of it in the span of two years. NSMBU was for me a consequence of not doing anything , ironically, new, so it is pretty undertandable why the players didnt wanted to do the 4 same thing since 2006.

Honestly, I'm pretty sure a large part of it is the star coins. A lot of the star coins are in abhorrent locations that you could never find on your own without looking it up, or running into every wall in the entire level after not seeing it on your first run through. The timer makes it very difficult to spend time looking for secrets as well, which is probably why they opted to remove it entirely in Wonder. Star Coins were more based around platforming challenges in DS and NSMB2 rather than being hidden in walls.
