Finally, the first HD console from Nintendo came and since the first HD Mario could not miss. With "New Super Mario Bros. U Nintendo managed the leap into the high-resolution spheres of the video game era. But not only the graphics convincing detail, bright colors and the long-awaited beautiful backgrounds that have often been missing in the Mario series, but also the Gameplay is once again top notch. As the Wii part can jump in multiplayer with up to 4 players through levels, help or annoy each other. Fun is always necessary. Even the good friend Yoshi is in some levels with again of the party and attacks the popular plumber vigorously under his arms. But this time it is not only in its green standard form but with 3 other relatives, who all have different abilities and advantages and disadvantages. So change comes here not too short and the ideas in the game to these realities fit perfectly. The soundtrack knows how to please, although not really new music was much composed. For the most part convincing but the remixes of old songs with worlds-specific touch, whereby the music, especially on the Overworld, which now finally resembles the milestone "Super Mario World", in different variants in the desert, ice, or also underwater world presents amazingly well. Innovation through the gamepad is not absolutely necessary, even if one in 2-player mode enjoys some privilege to set for the Partner auxiliary platforms that can help one across chasms or hard to reach Star Coins. These are of course present again, 3 pieces per level of them. Who takes all, the open end of the main story a bonus world that will require increased difficulty with the player. Additional modes such as the challenges which will be of particular interest to the pro gamers and ambitious players to make a well thought out idea. Overall, I rate this game 5 stars because the deficiencies are not so eye sting like the positive aspects and what it wants to represent, does really well on the whole! Platforming fare at its finest! In multiplayer mode, of course, a high replay value is included. :-)
