Customer Ratings & Reviews

disclaimer: I wasn't the biggest fan of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It was a fine game, but it didn't click for me. So when I saw the sequel, I was hesitant. I picked it up on sale, and I can safely say this fixed most of my problems with the original game. NSMBUD (what an absolutely terrible name) plays like a sequel to Mario Bros. 3. It's the 2D Mario game I never knew I wanted. A few negative points worth mentioning: As with basically all modern nintendo games, there are completely pointless motion controls that should have been mapped to a controller. But it's Nintendo, so they aren't. Make sure you have at least one motion controller (joy-cons, pro controller, etc) or you won't be able to move some platforms. the Luigi game plays like a nintendo-made rom hack. It had a lot of promise, but Luigi's physics are absolutely terrible. Coupled with an extreme increase in difficulty, I absolutely can not recommend that half of the game. It would be fine if Luigi controlled sensibly, but he doesn't. Wasted potential Overall, worth it for the Mario half alone.

it never get old, its one of my favorite games. I play with all of the little once . I like the fact that you can choose easy to hard on each character

Mario games have a way of bringing everyone together! Whether you're a young child just learning to play or a "big kid" who grew up with Mario, this game is packed with fun, laughter, and adventure. I love that it's easy enough for kids to enjoy while still being entertaining for teens and adults. It's become a great way for our family to spend time together, with plenty of laughs, friendly competition, and memories being made along the way. If you're looking for a game that's fun for all ages, you can't go wrong with Mario. It's the kind of game that keeps everyone reaching for "just one more round!"

Best game ive bought this year. Havent had that much fun in a while.

It’s my childhood game, such a nostalgia feeling being able to play again, I love the game! And for those who don’t know each land as a secret tunnel to unlock a new level

Another fantastic Mario game, for the switch. Awesome gameplay and tons of fun! Must have!

As someone who did not play or buy the Wii U version. I have enjoyed this updated version of Mario very much. If you haven't played a Mario game before at times it can be frustrating to fail, but overall the game is made to be average difficulty. With Game Club the 20% off helps. But at $60 not sure if worth the price. Depends on how much you love Mario. Nintendo is making a lot of ports and charging full price. Feel only Nintendo can get away with that and be successful. Honestly it is what it is. Game works great and looks great. I do recommend if you have never bought or would like a game to play of the go which has short levels so you can play little by little on the go.

Let's be honest, I bought a Switch because I heard they were making games similar to the old style I liked. I hate these 3D games. I never know where I'm going nor what I'm doing in them. With that, I decided to buy this game. It's like Super Mario 3 only in 3d but better! I love the items, and being able to switch characters around too. This is SO MUCH FUN! There is the ability to make this a s 2-4 player game as well. And if you do play with 4, it is a riot! People going too far and accidentally killing you all is a blast. All in all, highly recommended! There's so much to discover in this game!

Reminds me of my childhood on the NES as well as later versions. If you’re rusty you can play as Nabbit and keep going on a level even when you run into a bad guy. We play on the tv with all four of us and it’s a blast.

had this game as a kid it’s exactly what i was looking for super fun and still just as challenging

You better not expect to buy this and not get so frustrated playing that you want to throw your switch at the nearest wall. It may be challenging, but if your like me, it is a welcoming and rewarding one. This game offers a fun and new experience while it maintains the same superb formula that made Mario so popular. I myself have been more on the Playstation side of gaming. So playing this has been Uber fun and novel for me. I love the simplicity of the game and the ease of which i can just hop on, play a level or two, and either furiously rage off, or opt to take a break, having had my gaming needs satisfied. Great game to play on the go and a must have if you haven’t been a nintendo head all your life up till this point.

a really fun and exciting game. me and my nephew stayed up for hours beating all the levels

A really fun 4 player game for the whole family. There is also a game starring Luigi on this cartridge. It’s challenging, but there are a couple of characters that are actually a bit easier to play with for kids. This reminds me a lot of Super Mario World or New Super Mario Bros. If you like Mario platform we games, this is a must play! The only negative thing about it would be that it’s nothing terribly new, but that’s okay with me, it’s challenging and can help teach kids teamwork as the only way you will be able to survive together is if you work as a team.

Has to be one of the best in the series imho. So much fun!

Let me start off by saying that this isn't an entirely new game–it's essentially "New Super Mario Bros. U" that was released on the Wii U a few years back. However, a few new features are present: Toadette and Nabbit are new playable characters and serve as the game's easy mode...and all of the content from Super Luigi U is present as well. As Peachette, Toadette can float and boost high into the air–making her perfect for avoiding chasms and backtracking to previous levels to mop up those hard-to-reach gold coins. As for Nabbit, he's invincible to enemy damage and great for younger players to tag-along and get used to the game. Other than that, this is "New Super Mario Bros. U" with a fresh coat of paint. Anyone who already has the Wii U version might be hard-pressed to pay full price for this game again (unless they just want it on Switch for portability). There's a lot of content here though for your buck, so it's pretty much the best 2D Mario game out there right now. If you didn't get it on Wii U, now's the perfect time.

Great game, but definitely a little more difficult than the original Mario Brothers

So this game is a remaster of Super Mario U and Super Luigi U. Super Mario U is a great game that is a lot of fun to play with friends, as you can help one another complete levels or hinder one another to hilarious effect. Super Luigi U has several levels that only those who enjoy the most soul crushing difficulty will enjoy, and will not be completed without the upmost skill and cooperation. My friends and I completed it after several hours of dying on a single stage. We celebrated like we climbed a mountain and is a fond memory for us. I bought this game, despite playing both on the Wii U, so I'd recommend it as it's a lot of fun, if difficult at points.

Having not played a classic Mario side-scroller/platformer since I was a kid, this game has me feeling nostalgic yet up-to-date with everything it has to offer. It's been a lot of fun. I haven't completed it yet but whenever I get a chance to just relax and have the choice to watch tv or play for a bit, I boot this game up. I know it came out for Wii U years ago but the truth is, not nearly as many people bought the Wii U as much as the number of people that have purchased a Switch. So, in my opinion, Nintendo made a great decision to re-release this game for Switch so that we could get the chance to enjoy it and I gotta say that they hit the nail on the head.

A pretty fun game. If you grew up playing Mario 2d like myself on nes and snes (80s kid) then you should like this. It’s boat loads of fun, although I found it really frustrating to play with kids in multiplayer as it takes a lot of communication and working together. If someone decides to just run ahead it messes everyone up. So I definitely prefer single player. It’s a bit short, if you want Mario and 2d this is still fun but probably only worth it on a sale. I think I paid $39.99 for mine. If you want 2d Mario with tons of content then Mario maker 2 is awesome with never ending content as it’s community driven. Mario maker 2 just has a weak story but that’s not the point of it. This would be a 5 star from me if there was just a bit more content. I could probably beat this game in just a few hours. I’ve never played the wii version but I heard it’s essentially a 1:1 port. If you’re a Mario fan this game is worth it. I also feel the replay ability is high with Mario games.

I love these classic spins on Super Mario Bros. I know the ratings came out bad for these but I'm old school. I got an NES in the 80's so this really hits home for me on the nostalgia meter but also gives it a fresh spin. I played New Super Mario Bros. on the Wii as well and these games just don't get old. They are really fun to play multi-player as well. Gets a little chaotic on the screen with 4 players but that's part of the fun we never got on the originals where we had to take turns... No more arguing over who gets the first or second controller.
