New Sûpâ Mario burazâzu U

"New Super Mario Bros. U" is a Mario game released as a launch title for Wii U year 2012, and serves as the second "New Super Mario Bros." game to be released for home console, after the 2009 game "New Super Mario Bros. Wii". This is my first Mario-game for the Wii U console.

Basic plot: Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad are having dinner with the lovable Princess Peach. Suddenly Bowser arrives with his airship and invades Peach's castle, and there he stays with the now yet again kidnapped Peach. After having been thrown out far away from the castle, guess what? Mario and company have to save the princess, of course.

This is yet an another amazing 2.5D side-scrolling Mario-game, it's game-play is very similar to "NSMB. Wii" which I also have. What I especially love with this game is, besides from the usual new and old abilities, enemies and obstacles, and riding on Yoshi, Baby Yoshis are present for the first time since the nostalgic "Super Mario World" for SNES. By the Baby Yoshis, the purple Baby Balloon Yoshi is definitely my favorite. Up to four, or eventually five players can play this game together as well.

For more fun and challenges, an extra mode is added with different goals like beating a time record, jumping on enemies without touching the ground etc.

This game is just so "must-have-game" for anyone who owns a Wii U console, and love nostalgic elements coming from any Mario games. Altogether, I give this game a really deserved 10/10.
