While Nintendo has returned to the concept of a 2 D Mario time and time again in recent years, none of these retro revivals have recaptured the quality of their predecessors. Rather than developing proper evolution of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, the New Mario series watered down successful formulas to the point where it was good, but not nearly as great as its legacy. In other words, the brilliance of the N.E.S and S.N.E.S formulas has eluded Nintendo’s modern teams.New Super Mario Bros. U changes that pattern. Though it doest’t necessarily redefine Nintendo’s iconic hero, it still manages to capture the sense of carefree adventure that many of us felt as kids. More importantly, the game contains a significant amount of challenge, both within its story mode and outside of it. This game has clearly been designed by a team that regards Super Mario World with as much affection as those of us who grew up with it. Were it not for the game’s weak graphics and audio, plus the return of the irritating chaotic, bouncy multiplier mode, this game might rival some of Nintendo’s better 2 D accomplishments.For many of us, Super Mario World shifted the Mushroom Kingdom from numbered, sequential stages to something more organic. The term “world” never felt more appropriate.The vast, seamless over world not only houses the requisite levels, fortresses and castles, but also features items that can be picked up off the ground, roaming enemies that must be defeated, secrets, alternate paths and even some boss fights that occur within their own context, outside of any plat forming sequence. Why Nintendo ever moved away from this approach seems even more baffling now that it’s returned.The level of difficulty feels just right, allowing you to keep moving at a reasonable pace while killing you plenty of times along the way. You’ill never run out of lives, but if you’re anything like me, you’ill still lose enough of them to feel like you’re being challenged. If that wasn't enough, collecting all of the game’s Star Coins will certainly push your skills – and there is definitely a reward to doing so. Finding this balance haunted New Mario games in the past. None of them have been particularly challenging. None of them felt like they were anything but a routine trip back into 2 D Mario, tamed to appeal to all audiences without regard for players that wanted a test of their skills. What’s more impressive about Mario U is that while its Story Mode does serve up some of that challenge, Nintendo opted to do even more. New Super Mario Bros. U does have two critical technical flaws. Its visual and audio designs aren't nearly as bold as its contemporaries, merely reaching the bare minimum of expectations for a H D Mario title. Win U is a powerful system, and should be more than able to create a stunning plat former with layers upon layers of depth, great lighting and particle effects, and another world-class soundtrack. Mario U feels like it’s just achieving the minimum in any of those areas. The improvements from New Mario on Wu surface immediately, but that’s not nearly enough in an era where Ray man Legends also exists. Mario U features moments of graphical brilliance – particularly in later worlds and a the sublime level featuring Van Goth’s ‘Starry Night’ – but they only serve to reinforce that difference. This isn't a bad looking game. It just fails to be memorable.

Singelli : Well spotted Singelli, I would just about to say the exact same thing! This was completely copied and pasted, not one word was changed and therefore there was no originality.

Dmanfun : Since you're new and this is your first offense with plagiarism, there won't be a punishment, except for revoking the cp and Viz earned for this. But you should know that this is a banable offense.

Probably an innocent mistake, so no worries. Just remember this in the future.
