This review contains spoilers

I wouldn’t say this is a bad game, but I wouldn’t say it’s a great one either. It’s just decent. To put it simply, it’s basically NSMB Wii but in HD. Same texture packs, same enemies, and same items, with only two new ones. The acorn suit, and the p wing acorn suit. They’re ok but not worthy enough to be the only two new stand alone items in the game. The only things that I can say differentiate this game from the Wii version are obviously the level layouts, backgrounds, soundtrack, and having a mildly different story. Same shit different barrel essentially. Princess gets kidnapped by bowser and you have to play captain save a hoe with the same blue and yellow toads again. I say it’s a little bit different because some different stuff happens well the princess is held captive, but I can’t remember to save the life of me. I can go on and on about all the same stuff from the Wii version, but if I did, I’d end up typing out a two page essay lol. I will say for the positives, the theme songs are very good just like the Wii version, the map designs and layouts are very creative all having food as a common theme. Soda jungle, layer cake desert, acorn plains, ect.. I also found the levels very fun, featuring that charm that I remember NSMB wii having. NSMBU had that charm that made me remember all those fun times I had playing NSMB Wii. Overall, decent entree to the NSMB franchise, all be it a carbon copy of NSMB Wii. I’d give this game a 3.3 out of 5 stars.
