Why Luigi U Is My Favorite NSMB Game

[@silokhawk]

Hello to people of the future: This is the conclusion you may have seen in the full retrospective- It was originally uploaded for Patrons first; However it differs in that it doesn't include the final animated segment, and includes a proper conclusion. That's it! We've reached the end of our journey, and I want to thank you for following this series!

To me, it seems like they managed with this game what the talented part of the Mario Maker community has been doing these years: create tight level designs based on original ideas. That's what the 2D mario series should always strive for, make your levels memorable through creative solutions, fun platforming, good theming, appropriate time limit etc. If Nintendo ever decides to make a new 2D Mario game themselves, they should keep this in mind and add to the mix new assets, because, sadly, that's the only element that the Mario Maker community can't do themselves if they don't modify the game itself.

I've always thought that Luigi U was a relatively popular game... Well, the game came with my Wii U. Personally, the original DS title will always be my favorite. It was the game that introduced me into Nintendo, Mario and games in general. It's also the most unique one (art direction, world structure and the general felling of it). Anyways, Luigi U comes in a close second place. It basically has everything that I've enjoyed about NSMBU, but with cool new mechanics and challenges.

Just posting my thoughts on the NSMB games that I've played: New Soup Wii was the first video game I ever played as a kid and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I genuinely enjoyed every level ( even the dark levels) and I 100% the game with my friends. I even played this game with my grandmother when she was 70 or so and we got to world 3 in an afternoon. I have such great memories associated with it and still go back to see the letter Nintendo put on my wii message board when I 100% the game in 2011. Not long after playing New Soup Wii my parents got me a DSi with New Soup DS. I thoroughly enjoyed this game too, but I was left disappointed by not being able to play through the game with my friends; however I played a lot of star collector with them. Being able to buy backgrounds with the star coins too was a nice touch that I enjoyed and motivated me to 100% the game. I also learned how to play poker from luigi in this game so that's pretty cool. Next I played New Soup 2. I never collected 1 million coins sadly but I got around 600k. Despite that shortcoming, NSMB2 is my favorite New Soup game that I've played. I loved the level designs, the Mario 3-esque editions (especially the super leaf as I hadn't played Mario 3 at this point in time), and the additional worlds. The second Bowser fight where he is Dry Bowser was somehow even more fun than the first even though it is practically the same fight. Overall I just love the game. After this I played New Soup Wii U and to be frank, I don't remember any of it. I had a friend come over once and we decided to try and 100% it as it was something to do, and soon realized that we already had. It was that forgettable. I wish I had bought New Soup Luigi U at the time, but I honestly thought it was the exact same game as Mario Wii U but with the characters changed. It wasn't until I watched this video that I realized it's entirely different.

Enjoyed all these videos, however I did groan when I saw the last vid popup and waited about 2 or whatever weeks before watching. Having said that, I now actually regret selling off Mario Bros Switch (which included this game), without even trying Luigi. I started up the main game, which I loved the first time round but, honestly, after several attempts I couldnt even to the end of the second zone without turning the game off out of sheer boredom. Wii U and 3DS are the only ones I have played. Maybe a tad bit of the Wii on, maybe 2 levels only. 3DS was my fav of them. But, yeah, never been a major fan of 2D Mario anyway (always favoured Sonic and, later, Klonoa). Thanks again for the videos. I watched them all and look forward to whatever you do next.

[@Quinhala11]

2:05 Ehh not imo. I don't like the idea of Daisy getting kidnapped like Peach, or Pauline, or Merelda, or Shokora.. Having a female human character that's not kidnapped would be pretty cool. But i think she should've replaced Mario, aka be the 4th playable character instead of Nabbit.

[@kellennicholson4488]

It's a little piece of history and tradition. There's characters that don't get kidnapped (Rosalina) but if you'd like to ignore that, just go to one of the bazillion newer franchises with strong female characters. Or you can focus on gameplay like a normal person

[@DTgamer_Shiver-is-best-waifu]

I grew up during the time of the Wii/3DS era. NSMB.DS is my favorite one because it was an introduction to me for the Super Mario genre and gaming as a whole. Later on, I played Mario kart Wii, NSMB. Wii, Mario party 8, Super Paper Mario, and Mario and Luigi Dream Team, and Super Mario 3D land. In my childhood, I was really excited to play any/all of them (mostly SPM) I made a few presentations on that one. I loved how they were an introduction for the spinoff games that I love so much. This was a core part of my life. I recently got NSMB.U/3D world and I can't wait to try them out.
