Nice expansion for all Mario or Luigi fans

When I bought the WiiU after long abstinence Nintendo, it also had to equal the "New Super Mario Bros. U" be.
This made me even with his game-feeling and imagination a lot of fun. When I then had completely through, although it was a good feeling, but it would for me to go quiet a few worlds longer still and also like a little more difficult.

Since I came in handy the Luigi-U extension. Because this offers me for a newly designed level, as well as a partially very crisp difficulty. Originally I wanted to also buy the retail version with envelope, but could not resist but then and the E-shop version've indulged.

... THE GAME ...

The game is based entirely on the original (New Super Mario Bros U) and uses the same upper world. The level, however, were all remodeled and are in their length and slightly shorter. That's a good thing because you've ever level only 100 seconds to come in's goal. In the boss-levels but you get when you enter the boss door some time credited for the fight. The significantly higher level of difficulty of the Level I find appropriate and it's fun to embrace it to always try new strategies.

As the game title already describes, you play Luigi. Which also means to make game physics familiar with Luigi.
Compared to Mario Luigi can jump higher and stay in the air longer, but it has a longer "braking distance".
That is internalized, however, quite quickly.

With great attention to detail, the level designers a lot of "Easter Eggs" have built in the form of pixel Luigi appear in the Level backgrounds or represent Statues / entity which the plumber. But the hiding places of Starcoins and secret level outputs are often designed very cleverly. Some of the level also call for a certain timing by the player, so that notwithstanding reaches the flag. It is this combination of time pressure and greater difficulty that I enjoy and motivate micht. By shorter level I had to be not overwhelmed feeling.

In this version of the character "Mopsie" can now be chosen as a player in a multiplayer match. One can not collect items then, but is against all monsters immune.

Small gimmick (trick?):
Keeps you in single player on the world map, the "ZL" button firmly while you start a level, to play automatically for this level only Mopsie. This can be useful in some levels, if you only need a Starcoin and has for the umpteenth time lost a life.

... Conclusion / opinion ...

At first I was very skeptical ...
An offshoot Mario with Luigi and over 100 seconds per level?
That should be fun? Yes, I love it. : O)
Look after some flirtation and Youtube videos, I have it but then bought and did not regret.
