The reason why the Deluxe version of this game has sold .06 million more copies than the original isn’t because it’s on the Switch, or because it has both NSMBU and NSLU. It was because it has the perfection that is Toadette.

Hm. I can see where you’re coming from. I definitely think that your disposition comes from you playing all of these back to back. Is there a whole lot of new here? Nah, not really. But if you separate the games from each other, and judge them individually? It is absolutely the best in the series. It has the best level design hands-down, it learned from its predecessors and it’s a collage of the best things from the previous games, with some new stuff thrown in. And the large number of homages to Mario World was really great as well! Something to keep in mind: NSMB and NDMBW were based on SMB. NSMB2 was based on Mario 3. And NSMBU was based on SMW. That gives me a whole lot of appreciation for this series as a whole.

the starcoin at 13:27 was actually telegraphed in a really smart way imo. That Level had a secret section where you get a mini mushroom and one of the new abilities of the mini mushroom in this game is that you can run along walls with it. After you leave that section you can just straight up hold right and sprint through the rest of the level by running along the walls but there's that one wall where you always fall of and lose momentum when transitioning from the wall to the ground which is exactly where the hole in the wall is. From the outside you wouldn't see a reason for why you would always fall off on this exact wall but not any other one but once you know what's up it makes perfect sense. I agree some secrets are pretty dull but in my opinion this one was actually really clever.

As a kid, I really enjoyed that; we made it so whoever was placing the coins was by themselves so the coin collectors didn't know where they were placed and seeing my friends fight over any Star Coins I placed was fun for me. It was also the closest thing to an official level editor at the time, so I was all over it.

Even with this game's flaws, it's my all time favorite. Before I actually got the game, I was gushing about those beautiful backgrounds. They are way better than Wii's backgrounds. Then there's the ground tiles. I love them way more than Wii. The level design was better than Wii yet less memorable... At first. Now I know where almost every star coin and 1-Up are in all of these games. I think Wii had a great idea as a level, then did it okay. While U reused those ideas and executed them way better. Like the water Bubbles in 7-2 of Wii compared to 7-6 of U. The Wii version was so bland and underwhelming compared to U's version of that level. I love all of these games. U is my favorite and the one I enjoyed the most. I thought 2 was more fun than Wii and I played Wii the most. I guess I'm weird... ☺

[@TheSupercrazyman11]

Naww, you ain't weird, the dude who genuinely prefers nsmb2 over nsmbu is clearly weird.

[@zapkido2830]

No, I agree. I think people focus far too much on how samey these games are to each other, when it's much more interesting looking at them as gradually polishing the same formula. They're all the same game. They reuse gimmicks and bosses. We get it. But U is by far the best execution of the formula, with just about every great gimmick from the NSMBU series and more.

[@fredjd11]

Nah, I agree U is the best and I also would say that approaching each entry in the series with the question “What does this game do to innovate on the formula?” is bound to leave one disappointed, whereas if you ask “how does this game improve on or refine the formula of the previous games?” you’ll have a much more enthusiastic impression of U. An aspect of this series that I respect is that it forces the issue of whether “innovation” per se is a good thing. Consider the inclusion of Nabbit in U-one of the few genuinely new things the game does compared to its predecessors-and to what result? In my opinion the Nabbit levels are more or less disposable, they aren’t actively bad but they really add nothing to the game (nor do we ever learn anything about Nabbit the character, other than that he’s kind of an asshole?). It’s not surprising SilokHawk had very little to say about Nabbit in this video.

[@superworldteam6360]

@@fredjd11 You are right, It's not because the game add billions of new thing that it's good, It's maybe New but not good. The best example is Newer Wii, it tries so hard to add way more thing than the Wii one and be much original that it forget sometimes to be fun. Most of the new ideas are poorly executed and some worlds are just boring. This is why I think Newer DS is better, because it may not be Newer, or even New, but It's definitly better executed than Newer Wii

[@fredjd11]

SuperWorld Team Refinement over innovation is an an unusual tack to take in the world of video games, especially when it comes to Nintendo, but I think that was the design philosophy with the NSMB titles-as if Nintendo were asking themselves, “How can we bring the same (or at least, a very similar) experience to this console?” In that sense it’s worth noting how of the four NSMB titles each is unique to their native system (DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U).

There is a totally fair point to allowing baby Yoshis to be carried and not regular Yoshis and I think you know it as well as I do.

Furthermore, you can't carry baby Yoshis out of levels that you got in the specific level (mostly the golden ones)

Most Star Coins are indeed very stupid, but there's one I remember where you took a different exit in a level and then entered a castle through the _back door_, so you started off the level in a different place than you would normally.

Imagine if the final castle was still recognizably Peach's Castle, but with a half-finished Death Star 2 ish aesthetic. With Bowser's workers, like Rocky Wrenches, making it look more evil.

(I count it as DLC, but some people might consider it it's own thing, but idk) 3. New Super Mario Bros. 2 - Really good level design - Colors Pop more/Nice Art Direction - Weakest Bosses in the Series - Coin Gimmick doesn't do it for me - Best Soundtrack (despite being reused) - Final Castle with the Koopa Kids is pretty good - Weakest Final Boss personally - Coin Rush is ok - Multiplayer is Fun 4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii - 1/3 of the Game feels empty (My main problem with the game) - Colors don't really pop / Least interesting to look at. - 2/3 of the levels are pretty good. - Cool seeing the Koopa Kids in 3D for the 1st time. - Extra modes are kinda lame. - Final Castle is kinda generic - Best Final Boss (Love the Final Boss theme) - Introduced 4 Player Multiplayer

I’ll always love this game so much. It’s very fun to me and has given me tons of memories since 2013.

0:10 WOW! It was that level that wanted me to check out a video like this.

[@Hectoreo]

If they're making a new NSMB game, it has to actually be "new". I want a full-on 2.5D Mario. The 3D World style in SMM2 gives a decent idea of what it could be, with the bonzai bills, meowser, and the blargs, and I would love to see what Nintendo could do if they made a game focused on things like these. I mean, just look at the newer DKC and Kirby games. Imagine that kind of thing done with Mario.

[@galaxywe4155]

Meowser in the 3d world style is atrocious

I just finished watching the previous part last night and then this comes out! Thanks for this series, I’m really enjoying it!

Oh, trust me, I played New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros U back-to-back, and let me tell you, you definitely can tell the difference between the 480p and 1080p

When someone mentions the failure of the wiiu it pisses me off. Its a amazing console sith still great players

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

The problem is that those swicht ports take all the great wiiU games, so there is just nothing left.

“And conversely, the Nintendo switch, with did exceedingly well due to one great game alone” Yeah, Mario odyssey.

Actually you find the propeller mushroom and penguin mushroom way more frequently in Luigi U

[@fredjd11]

If I recall correctly the objective of the ‘Graceful Glide’ challenge was to reach the end of the level without touching the ground, which consequently required bouncing off enemies’ heads (and as a result winning you 1-ups). It is properly categorized as a special challenge.

[@Garrulous64]

If you're going to have an obsession with anything in a game, level design makes sense. Level design/gameplay is always the thing that matters most imo, and this series just kept bringing what felt like the same stuff to the table every time. There were variations here and there, but this series basically just felt like a DLC level pack getting dropped for full price.

[@mep6302]

What are you doing here??

[@AmadeusDFrame]

Bro when you boot up NSMB U and the the intro and the video line up perfectly and it scares the shit out of you...

[@AAAAAA-xv5ke]

I wish they brought back the nsmb ds castle theme for the final level. It would be a nice nostalgic unexpected suprise at the final moments

[@roverkibb1834]

Out of all the worlds in Super Mario World you could've chosen for not being true to their namesake, You chose Donut Plains. THE WORLD SHAPED LIKE A DONUT

[@Ivan2294]

Excellent video. Just watched all your NSMB retrospectives and I have to agree on almost all points. I first played NSMB and the only other one I bothered beating was NSMBWii. I *do* have 2 & U, but I could never bother caring enough to beat either of them because of how much it just seemed like the original ones. That said, I recognize they're still good games and if I ever come back to the series I'm sure I'll have fun playing the Deluxe version on Switch.

[@AlexsGoogleAccount]

It's good that in New Super Mario DS and Wii you can return to a level you've already beaten to pick up a power-up to use later on. In the case of NSMB DS, you could always return to 1-4 to pick up a new Mini Mario, but it didn't feel completely free. You'd have to survive the second half of the level as Mini Mario in order to keep the mushroom and you'd have to re-play it again if you wanted the Mini Mushroom to be in your spare power-up slot. If you got hit during this or in the level you wanted to use Mini Mario in, you'd have to do it all over again. If you wanted a Blue Koopa shell, you would have to chase down the red flying power-up blocks or mushroom houses and hope for one, which made some secret exits a bit frustrating. A more reliable way to get them (such as one level built around it as a concept) would have been greatly appreciated. The problem I have with making the best power-ups limited to where you can't get more if you lose it, is that it encourages me to hoard the power-up and never play with it, because if I die with it, I'll lose it for good and I'd hate to use it on the wrong level and not have it when I really need it. It doesn't encourage the player to experiment and play with it, and it furthers the skill divide between players who aren't good enough with the game to keep the power-up through even one level. There are some Mario games that I don't have problems making tight jumps and there are others where I regularly fail (I've been playing through a lot of Super Mario World and I still can't get the hang of the movement). I think a much better approach would be to have them available in the mushroom houses during the main game and then in the later worlds give them a dedicated level you can return to. In the case of Super Mario U, you could include the Penguin Suit in the very last level of the ice world.
