- Gameplay
In more than 70 levels is to collect the main task of a star on the level end. Along the way, you have the one side quests to fulfill, such as additionally collect 3 diamonds in each level (which later levels are unlocked), and, optionally, either a certain number of coins, find a golden mushroom or kill all enemies. The latter, however, is not as easy as in SMB3D World because her not can jump. Either you let yourself fall from higher platforms on them, previously used as a projectile plucked vegetables (already known from Super Mario Bros 2 NES) or used other level components to (ball-Willi). The levels themselves can use the touchpad to be changed, some platforms can be moved or rotate, so as to expose new ways and hiding places.
- Graphics and Sound
The graphics are good for Wii U ratios. The levels are indeed manageable, but they are really designed very charming. Especially the textures I like very much! The sound is Super Mario like cheerful and full of atmosphere, without being intrusive. The one or other tune or jingle reminiscent of the Super Mario series and evokes a lot of memories.
- Control
The controls are very simple: Use the left stick controls the A and B button is picked, nothing more needs Toad :-) The camera can be controlled with the right stick, and with the gamepad itself. The display of the tablet functions for interacting with the environment. The shoulder buttons center the camera.
- Story
The story of the game is rather cute accessories to pull a red thread through each level. Really exciting twists you can not expect here, but also does not interfere, because the levels are for themselves. In a nutshell: In search of a star Toadette and a huge bird with kidnapped accidentally, when he tried to steal a Power Star. Toad now embarks on a rescue mission
- Bonus
Gamers who have 3D World Memory booth at the WiiU a Super Mario, to benefit from a bonus in the form of additional levels in fairyland. This is a very nice addition and provides additional puzzle fun :-)
- Conclusion
Bottom line, it is a very beautiful and entertaining puzzle game that focuses on puzzling and interact with the environment. The first impression a simple game, but this is deceptive, and as the game progresses the claim increases. Highlight of the Games is primarily the grandiose and clever level design. Since there is no time limit, is a lower risk of frustration even for less experienced gamers. General makes the game easy humor and is a great change in the everyday gamer :-) At the end of a sympathetic character, very well-designed gameplay, great size and lots of fun are therefore a clear recommendation for this high quality game from Nintendo!
