New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Switch

This is a well-crafted 2D platformer with excellent controls and solid level design, bundling two complete games in one package. The gameplay mechanics are polished and satisfying, making it enjoyable for both solo and multiplayer sessions. However, potential buyers should know this feels very similar to previous New Super Mario Bros. titles, with recycled visual themes and music that may disappoint those seeking fresh experiences. The addition of Toadette and Nabbit makes the game more accessible for beginners, though this creates an awkward situation in four-player mode where someone must use the easier character. A notable control issue exists where the air twirl activates unintentionally via the jump button. Best suited for Switch owners who missed the Wii U original, as returning players will find minimal new content to justify repurchasing.
