New Super Mario Bros. The Fourth!

Mario has shaped my childhood and I can say that I'm a little fanboy Red Platform Games-plumber. Nevertheless, I like the development of the New series not quite The DS-part was a grandiose new beginning of the genre, the Wii spin-off resulted in the then still heavier levels on until the 3DS then part by a lack of innovation and a truly laughable difficulty disappointed But convinced of Coin Rush mode, especially with the bestial Impossible pack! With the Wii U, the fourth branch of the series has now been presented, however. And of course it is nice with a classic mario Platform Games to go into the Wii U, but there is a lack of the latest installment of the series to new ideas and that although large NEW in the title

The story oh yes, should be known. This time there's not a big surprise: Peach is kidnapped and well, not directly abducted, Bowser settles a time in her castle and accuses Mario, Luigi and two Toads the easy kilometers away

First, there is next to the new item, the acorn mushroom (the name was not my idea!) Nothing new. The structure of the worlds, Marios skills and everything else is the same as always. Once again Yoshi and this time also small Yoshi, which have a special ability while Schüttlen of the controller. Actually nice, just a shame that they annoy and hinder rather, they are also not great if you eat enough opponents, moreover, one sees hardly in the game The great Yoshi unfortunately has little appearances in the game ...

The biggest change is likely to be probably the HD graphics, which is really nice! But for me, this is not so crucial, at least I want a challenging and fun Jump N have 'Run and I've got! Despite barely recognizable innovations regarding on level design, the game has become much more difficult than even the disappointing New Super Mario Bros. 2. Especially after Bowserkampf there are some nasty level who apparently based on nasty Impossible Pack

But when you get out is the adventure mode and the other modes explored, then you will be pleasantly surprised not only the multiplayer is once again very nicely decorated (as it did in the Wii spin-off), the solo duties having in itself! , Collect coins and time trial and special tasks that are anything but easy. Who here wants to get all the gold medal, takes perseverance! A great bonus, some of these ideas would have the developers like to install in the adventure mode. However one has Mopsie that you have to start over again at that in different levels. The concept is as well, especially if you used fast monotonous one star, the task is not difficult

The music is both completely recycled again and on the other hand it's nice sometimes to hear some new tracks, but please Nintendo: You can compose, why do you repeat some of your title for the fourth time such beautiful music?

Conclusion: If you want to have more difficulty again and claim that this is the place. In addition, Mario looks in HD from simply chic and also the few in NEW game is good, especially the bonus objectives to be fun! Just please for the next 2D Mario something new. It's nice when you quoted classics like Mario Bros. 3 or Mario World, but again and again to use elements from previous games, testifies to lack of imagination. I think it's commendable that you will take the wishes of many fans to the heart, but eventually has to some news here, a Mario game, which has its own style, as Mario Galaxy! So come on, Nintendo, I know you can do it!
