Some inventive obstacles and levels
Plenty here to keep you busy after you finish the main game

Irritating world resets at Game Over, Worlds based on well-worn themes
New Super Mario Bros U isn't the most innovative or groundbreaking Mario, or even necessarily the best game to showcase the Wii U, but Nintendo has delivered the richest and most satisfying 2D Mario since Super Mario World or Yoshi's Island. The map, the ...
Progressive difficulty, challenging, good replay value thanks to stars in each level and extra worlds, Mario in HD (finally), multiplayer fun
It's not exactly original any more, it's £45 (should be included with every Wii U)
Plumbers, mushrooms and a pink-dressed princess. Sounds like a great night in. New Super Mario Bros U might not offer much new to the Mario envelope and doesn't push the Wii U to its graphical limits, but it rests on nostalgia and tried-and-tested them...
While it may sem like a cash grab, it's been lovingly design and expertly crafted. This is the perfect launch game - and might be the best 2D Mario game in existence.New Super Mario Bros U was reviewed by Geoffrey Tim on a Wii Uj...
