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.
@@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.
@@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.
That's probably why I liked it so much cause I Had skipped the two titles in between the first nsmb and the U one Funnily enough when I played the Wii one later, I did not like that one a lot so yeah... Fatigue can kill a good game
I absolutely loved playing this whenever we got a Wii U. I feel like the Wii U and pretty much all games that came out with it are very easily dismissed or forgotten about which is a real shame.
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.
What’s sad is that New Super Mario Bros U is the best one in the NSMB series by far, yet nobody gave it any love or attention. Maybe it was the fact it was on the Wii U, and we had two NSMB games that same year. To me, that is a crying shame, as to me, it’s one of the best 2D mario titles I am glad that the game has become far more beloved in recent years.
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.
Boost mode is genuinely really fun with the challenges in the OG version on Wii U with a buddy. The spontaneous “teamwork” can both be pretty funny and very satisfying when the level is finished. The other modes are also pretty fun though
This game is so underrated, I used to watch the videos on yt about it when I was young. When I got my switch it was the first game i bought. I just wish it was longer
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. This is the best one in the series in my opinion. It's so fun and I love the backgrounds, music, creativity and everything else
There are very good reasons why to start in a plain and not a mountain or ice world: it's, well, plain. Newcomers have to start learning how to play, mountain and ice worlds require you to understand walking and jumping mechanics fairly well, including inertia, while plain worls only requir eyou to understand walking and a bit of jumping.
I really loved this game. It is literally so colorful, the levels are awesome, the recycling of the NSMB format is PERFECT! I really wish they made more NSMB games, it was a very underrated series.
This is a great game, i played last year and was very surprised because of the hate the game gets. The only problem is the similarity withe the other 3 games, besides this its nearly a perfect Mario game
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!
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.
NSMB Wii will always hold a special place in my heart, being the first video game I ever played back in 2009 for my 7th birthday. Even through the 2010's I still played it a lot and eventually got masterfully good at it as well as my friends being good at it which made for a VERY fun experience throughout my childhood. Now a days I'm a PC player, but I still love Nintendo. Regardless, when I first got this game, it gave me similar vibes and feels to the Wii version that I loved so much, this game is great.
As odd as Desert to Snow world is, that's actually kinda realistic though. Washington State has the mountains that catch all the moisture from the ocean and most of it rains down, so on the east of the mountain range you end up with a desert. Not that this world map had that level of thought put into it.
I also wanted to add, I think the one thing that holds this game down is that it slowly became less good as it got to the end, meanwhile the Wii version starts off rather weak but gets better and ends phenomenal.
@@jdogmcfly1712 the start was incredibly bland and a bit lifeless. It picked up around world three or four. That being said the first two words where still good, particularly the castle levels
@@mattdickson627 I feel that people don't give credit to the backgrounds, and small things, like yeah they are the same themes, but they do cool things with it, like the desert being dessert, the forest being giant, the lava being peaches castle, and others
@@jdogmcfly1712 oh absolutely, I was talking about the *Wii* version. I think people don’t appreciate all the details in Mario u, ya I totally agree. I love that game.

Also the Koopalings had awesome fights in the game and many of them where given new tools!
And New Mario DS. That’s my favorite New Super Mario game. It has unique bosses, a vs mode, a Blue Shell power up, and mini games from Mario 64 DS. U would be a close second though I still DS is the most unique imo.@@JJ-zo7jv
I love the new super mario bros series. It may just be my nostolgia for it but I've always had a great time. I remember being excited for nsmbu after playing it on a walmart wiiu kiosk. So much time has passed
a missed oppurtunity for the koopalings airship is that it could have had a bit of level before the fight, kind of like the stall there is getting launched onto the airship, or idk an auto scroller like an airship level using different themes present with the koopalings and their ship.
What makes this game for me memorable is the graphics, just in the first world the big mountain in the background. It’s something different than these high colourful pillars in all the other mario games.
It’s easily the best “New” game, and I’ve been there from the start. The backgrounds, visuals, and level design beat the others. The challenge is also there as well. It paired with Luigi U is a great play through on Switch especially. Honestly I would say it’s in my top 3 favorite 2D Mario’s.
Everyone I talked to who played this game, enjoyed this game when it came out. Many times taking a complete pause from their "main game" to have played this game. It was refreshing at the time and a solid game overall.
I love all the New Super Mario Bros series, in fact I really miss the series because of Nintendo's inactivity towards it that I go out and download rom hacks of the game for Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS
It’s not bad, it just feels too… simple, it feels like an expansion for new super Mario bros wii instead of a actual new game, mainly because the biomes are the same, the only thing that changed were the world map and the visuals, honestly I think I understand how everyone feels about nsmb games, they are good, but feel the same, it feels like playing the same game but with different levels, they should at least introduce new biomes like instead of a grass biome they could do something different
to say that painted swampland is the best map is absolutely LUDICROUS. it's beautiful, breathtaking even, BUT BY GOD WAS IT FUCKING NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT.
In future Mario Bros games they should repeat the classic Bowser face-off as always, but when pressing the Switch instead it is the ground beneath Mario that disappears and in cartoon fashion he looks at the disappearing ground, then at Bowser, then at you like -_- then gravity kicks in again
As a game itself, no The problem was that the “new” super Mario bros series was getting repetitive. However, It’s still a decent game that I would recommend.
I don’t hate it, I actually really like it. It just felt like each new entry in the NSMB series never added anything new to make it stand out. The best they really did was add one new item that was a gimmick for a few select levels.
I have been replaying all the Mario games that I couldn’t beat as a kid and it’s wonderfully nostalgic. Never had a wii u or 3ds or switch so I haven’t played the newer ones but I should
Honestly I think all of the new Super Mario Bros games are good in their own right they were the best part of early 2000s with Mario besides the the other 3D Mario games like Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine but still these were also pretty good games as well
Even though I just came across your videos, I gotta say they are amazing! I thought you were like a huge youtuber or something since all your videos go into such detail but I‘m just kinda shocked as to why you have so little followers. Keep the great content up!
I know some people might disagree with me on this but when I first got the game on the Wii U I went to play it and I was disappointed that they remove the Overworld athletic theme. The new super mario bros series was known for their athletic theme and Overworld Theme remix. When this game came out I was disappointed because I really like the athletic theme and Overworld theme from new Super Mario Brothers Wii. I'm not the biggest fan of the music in this game. I'm happy that they have different world themes. But I wish they would have kept athletic theme and Overworld theme in the levels
Super Mario Bros U is not at all bad, if anything it is a masterpiece. It made the franchise even better. I got this game for my switch in 2019 and since then I had the most fun playing the game and looking for the star coins. I feel like this game was better and more enjoyable than the older 2d games.
i finished it today and i liked it a lot. not sure if i like it better than world since i haven't touched that game in ages, but definitely more than all the 3d mario games i played (bar 3d world, which is been amazing so far). looks really good, the soundtrack is amazing and the levels were for the most part very interesting
Have you played Newer Super Mario Bros Wii? It's a mod of the Wii game that has new story, new levels and new world maps, also new enemies for example Shy Guys.
Despite playing all the other NSMBs games I have only ever completed the Luigi U part of this game and really loved that. Challenging 100 second stages with new controls felt really fresh for me.
When I was like 7 or 8 I wanted this game for the Wii U so bad since I already had Mario 3D World. I didn't get the game until recently when I saw the Wii U version at the store for a relatively cheap price.
This game I got on the Switch and it’s a great game. I love the Van Goah art. It’s a bit easy. I wish the game was harder. Or. If there was an adult version. The boss levels were actually harder than the actual bosses.
I don't think that it's a bad game, or even a bad Mario game, it's just generic. Same overall artstyle from the previous game, similar music, same collectables, same enemies with the same design... It simply wasn't enough. NSMB and NSMBW at least looked vastly different, with NSMB being on the DS and NSMBW being on the Wii. But this? NSMBU was basically NSMBW in HD.
If you look at screenshots between the two games you’d know that’s complete hogwash. U’s backgrounds are significantly more detailed and colourful. Just look at the background of 1-1 in both games. It’s night and day.
did he say anything about the multiplayer or did i miss it. that was the best part to me. being the fifth player who could make platforms was posibly the best thing ever.
I actually do like U. I actually have a bunch of nostalgia with I. I know I’m probably just gonna have people calling me out saying “you only like this game because of nostalgia”. Though besides that, it honestly has genuine fun mechanics (like the baby yoshis and the worlds are kinda creative.) and the koopalings aren’t just “the same boss AGAIN”. Pretty good game. Not that memorable, but still pretty good lmao
Even though they didn't bring the differant coloured yoshis back they did introduce Yozshi(pink beeg boy) Yochi(bubble yoshi) and yoC(golden yoshi) not official names but what I named them
It is my favourite Mario game, especially the graphics, they are just insane. The only problem I have with it is that most bosses are way too easy. Take a look at Lemmy, Larry, Kamek, Wendy and all BoomBoom battles and compare them with previous games. They are just too easy
I enjoyed playing Mario U but playing it right after Wii made things a little less uninteresting. Plus the secrets in this game are worse to find, finding secrets is either an invisible wall, invisible block with a vine, or in one level, flying up an open space of a level with no indication of a secret
I believe this game is great and is overhated and blindly at that because after getting another within the same year of another, (NSMB2) people just disconnected from the series and hate on it because "hur hur another nsmb game" and don't give this good game a chance. Even with Super Mario Bros. Wonder out now there's still good reasons to come back to this game.
This is definitely the best nsmb game, others have some flaws but this one is just great. I hate that the port has a different air movement engine and wish you played on the original version to help with that.
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.
This will forever be my favorite NSMB game, or even my favorite 2D Mario game.

Honestly I think all of the new Super Mario Bros games are good in their own right they were the best part of early 2000s with Mario besides the the other 3D Mario games like Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine but still these were also pretty good games as well
Just found your channel last night I like it.
I loved this game when I was younger even though I never had it myself
u are gay
The montage at the end is so fkn GOOD
Even though I just came across your videos, I gotta say they are amazing! I thought you were like a huge youtuber or something since all your videos go into such detail but I‘m just kinda shocked as to why you have so little followers. Keep the great content up!
7:22 wtf do you mean "idk if i can show it here"? do you think theres copyright on a 19 century painting LMAO💀💀💀💀💀???
Your channel is so underrated

I know some people might disagree with me on this but when I first got the game on the Wii U I went to play it and I was disappointed that they remove the Overworld athletic theme. The new super mario bros series was known for their athletic theme and Overworld Theme remix. When this game came out I was disappointed because I really like the athletic theme and Overworld theme from new Super Mario Brothers Wii. I'm not the biggest fan of the music in this game. I'm happy that they have different world themes. But I wish they would have kept athletic theme and Overworld theme in the levels
Super Mario Bros U is not at all bad, if anything it is a masterpiece. It made the franchise even better. I got this game for my switch in 2019 and since then I had the most fun playing the game and looking for the star coins. I feel like this game was better and more enjoyable than the older 2d games.
Getting this game along with the wii u in Christmas 2016 was the best!!
You should have just waited for the Nintendo Switch at that point
7:34 "could you imagine an entire world based on this van gogh style"....
Mario Wonder: Hold my mushroom
Loved the video and your editing skills. Clearly a lot of time was put into it
i finished it today and i liked it a lot. not sure if i like it better than world since i haven't touched that game in ages, but definitely more than all the 3d mario games i played (bar 3d world, which is been amazing so far).
looks really good, the soundtrack is amazing and the levels were for the most part very interesting
Have you played Newer Super Mario Bros Wii? It's a mod of the Wii game that has new story, new levels and new world maps, also new enemies for example Shy Guys.
Despite playing all the other NSMBs games I have only ever completed the Luigi U part of this game and really loved that. Challenging 100 second stages with new controls felt really fresh for me.
When I was like 7 or 8 I wanted this game for the Wii U so bad since I already had Mario 3D World. I didn't get the game until recently when I saw the Wii U version at the store for a relatively cheap price.
This game was amazing and if it was a standalone game not connected to the others, people would love it more
Like It couldhave Been New Super Mario World the start of the Mario World Era of New
I remember always needing luigi and his npc super guide when fighting bowser when i was 4-5 💀
6:51, What’s funny is it’s not even in meringue clouds, it’s rock candy mines.
Thank you, finally someone reviewed this well.
Everyone on you tube just copy past each other and say dont buy
I’m convinced now im buying this one 👍🏻
This game I got on the Switch and it’s a great game. I love the Van Goah art. It’s a bit easy. I wish the game was harder. Or. If there was an adult version. The boss levels were actually harder than the actual bosses.
I’ve been playing this for years and had no idea about the secret levels until now lol
I don't think that it's a bad game, or even a bad Mario game, it's just generic. Same overall artstyle from the previous game, similar music, same collectables, same enemies with the same design... It simply wasn't enough.
NSMB and NSMBW at least looked vastly different, with NSMB being on the DS and NSMBW being on the Wii. But this? NSMBU was basically NSMBW in HD.
If you look at screenshots between the two games you’d know that’s complete hogwash. U’s backgrounds are significantly more detailed and colourful. Just look at the background of 1-1 in both games. It’s night and day.
I’ve been playing this game for years and didn’t know the baby yoishs (besides the glowing one) had special powers
Honestly thought through the quality of this video you'd have at least 100k subs great work and just liked and subscribed 👍
This game is expensive. It is a beauty though. The game should be 30 - 40 dollars or even a FREE download on the switch. Shame on you Nintendo.
I play super mario u delux i never noticed the the music theme in peaches castle is just a faster version than the one in mario 64
did he say anything about the multiplayer or did i miss it. that was the best part to me. being the fifth player who could make platforms was posibly the best thing ever.
I sometimes use three joy cons to make three characters play a level (usually the bosses), and I have them with the fire flower.
I actually do like U. I actually have a bunch of nostalgia with I. I know I’m probably just gonna have people calling me out saying “you only like this game because of nostalgia”. Though besides that, it honestly has genuine fun mechanics (like the baby yoshis and the worlds are kinda creative.) and the koopalings aren’t just “the same boss AGAIN”. Pretty good game. Not that memorable, but still pretty good lmao
Even though they didn't bring the differant coloured yoshis back they did introduce Yozshi(pink beeg boy) Yochi(bubble yoshi) and yoC(golden yoshi) not official names but what I named them
I could never enjoy it again in the same way, but it was the most fun I have ever had on a game. From watching gameplay to playing it myself as a kid.
It's a great standalone game, but its stale when you consider its predecessors
It is my favourite Mario game, especially the graphics, they are just insane. The only problem I have with it is that most bosses are way too easy. Take a look at Lemmy, Larry, Kamek, Wendy and all BoomBoom battles and compare them with previous games. They are just too easy
Yeah. But there are some great ones too. At least they actually have mid bosses unlike Wonder.
I enjoyed playing Mario U but playing it right after Wii made things a little less uninteresting. Plus the secrets in this game are worse to find, finding secrets is either an invisible wall, invisible block with a vine, or in one level, flying up an open space of a level with no indication of a secret
This is one of my favorite Mario Games ever made
Rhinos lookin real different than I remember
And then this game's dlc... Luigi U, my favorite new super mario bros game
This is the final in-house 2d side scrolling Nintendo put out.
I believe this game is great and is overhated and blindly at that because after getting another within the same year of another, (NSMB2) people just disconnected from the series and hate on it because "hur hur another nsmb game" and don't give this good game a chance. Even with Super Mario Bros. Wonder out now there's still good reasons to come back to this game.
This is definitely the best nsmb game, others have some flaws but this one is just great. I hate that the port has a different air movement engine and wish you played on the original version to help with that.
If you’re talking about the mid air spin mapped to the A button, that can actually be disabled.
I personally believe U & the Luigi expansion as the last good 2D Mario Platformers. Wonder feels like it lost all the identity the series had.
new super mario bros wii is one of the most nostalgic games for me, and new super mario bros u is absolutely an amazing game!
I think Wii was better personally (still my favourite Mario game of all time) but U was still really good too
I love the game, but I do sometimes wish they took a queue from SMW and indicated which levels have secret exits
Great channel man, subscribed!
