This is a portion of a New Super Mario Bros. U review from Cubed3...

New Super Mario Bros. U succeeds in delivering classic 2D Mario gameplay in a more visually appealing and complete package than ever before and is simply a blast to play both alone or with friends. It's not revolutionary or innovative by any means but it's a fantastic game nonetheless. Fans of old-fashioned and challenging platformers absolutely shouldn't miss this great launch title.
