Capture the Wii by storm!

Yes Yes. The good old Mario. We all have made uncertain even as portly plumber the Mushroom King olfactory. Many might even then on the NES. Other experienced him on GameBoy or rose much later in a 3D. But time and again made it the good Italians to delight fans and gamers of all generations to unite in their love of video games. But after all these years of wear on familiar gameplay but must slow times or occur? Well. After Mario rather average came along with New Super Mario Bros U, he convinced with his latest adventure again completely. There are several reasons:

Gameplay - Old meets new

Nintendo heaves the 2D platformer quasi into the third dimension. This gives rise to approximately no Mario Galaxy-esque solo adventure, but something separate, new. As Mario, Luigi, Peach or Toad plunges you with up to four players in brightly colored Level packed with vivid detail, great animations, a fantastic level design and a lot of developers love.

Nintendo has come up with some. Although things like small things act, but overall achieved a great Wikung. The mere possibility in the overworld map to walk around freely and explore the area for hidden places is actually a simple stroke of genius. In addition, are also usual suspects such as new power-ups. There is for example the cat costume with Mario on all fours walls climbs or enemies unceremoniously sends a courageous blow on the boards.

The Sound - sets the mood

Well. Compared to Mario Galaxy the title draws clear the short straw. But every track just fits like chalk and cheese and every little noise like opening a door nestled in the acoustic oeuvre like a second skin on the otherwise already terrific backbone.

The fun - clearly in the foreground

Even Super Mario 3D World strives only not to create an exciting or even plausible story. That such a story can in Mario games work, you could see already in fantastic offshoots Mario Galaxy and Paper Mario. The latter in particular was really swept me back then. But back to the current branch. As usual it is Bowser the bad mood and for us gamers fortunately provides an occasion for a bailout again. Community as we know it, he kidnapped a fairy fairyland after another and keeps them trapped in small bottles. Mario and his friends may of course not just stand idly by and do together on the way. Can only Nintendo What follows. Because measured on pure gameplay surpasses Super Mario 3D World probably all AAA Current Gen Games. Especially in multiplayer fun just do not tear off and you find yourself soon in the usual: "a world I still play". Until then it's two hours later.

Conclusion: Super Mario 3D World is dead on target. Litt Marios last Wii U presentation in the form of mediocre Mario Bros U from a lack of fresh ideas, the gameplay sources in 3D offshoot bubble almost from the disc. The game is aimed clearly at the longtime Nintendo fans and people who just fun gamble want. The do not have time for long stories and cutscenes, but also to all other who want to simply have a good time with Mario and Co and will have guarantees. Fantastic! I'm already looking forward to my next trip to fairyland. Because there is still to bring some star and collect stamps ;-)

Nintendo's so can actually still and proves to me with Mario 3D World that they have what it takes to make the Wii U still a top console. Just think of Mario Kart 8 (to the soon followed by an article), Smash Bros 4 (!) Or the already super-looking Zelda. Only a "real" 3D Mario I miss something. If Nintendo is the fans, however, gives only a little hearing that but not have to wait long in coming.

Buy and be happy: in this sense! A delight for Jump and Run fans!
