There are a lot of new concepts and designs this time around, and even if a large portion of them are re-used assets, they’re remixed in a way that makes its own mark on the franchise. These new levels are all very well done, and remind me of the high-quality level design found in the original Wii U version of the game. As a side note, I wouldn’t worry too much about the clock, as the 100 second limit doesn’t included bosses, who add 100 extra seconds to the clock once you enter a boss door. This new limit makes for a faster-paced game, adding a new dimension to subsequent playthroughs, and making it perfect for speedruns. You’ll need to master him too, as New Super Luigi U features entirely new levels (over 80) each with their own three Star Coins to find and collect, alongside a 100-second time limit. His hover and his slide are all great ways to mix things up and force the player into mastering a new playstyle, especially given the fact that his hover can be used in tandem with the NSMBU “spin move” that gives you a half second of extra air. Simply put, I enjoy playing as Luigi and mastering his mechanics more than any other Mario game in recent memory - so much so, that I almost can’t stop playing him in an attempt to master some of the tougher stages. Thankfully, a new update has arrived for the launch of Luigi U that adds Classic Controller support to both titles, in case you’re a fan of that control option. Once you start really digging into some of the harder stages, you’ll begin to recognize Luigi’s nuances, and that’s when these seemingly small changes become quite significant. 2 - can float a bit in the air, but as a result, his momentum causes him to slip and slide more than a Paul Simon record. Luigi is back baby, and he’s not the same man you knew in the original Wii U game! He now jumps higher and - similar to Super Mario Bros. Released: J(WW Digital) / July 27 (EU retail), August 25 (US retail) U has been perfectly preserved here, and Luigi really gets a chance to shine with his new add-on. While Nintendo could have put a little more effort into the presentation, I have to say, the core quality of New Super Mario Bros. Luigi U features all new levels, a playable Nabbit, and an increased challenge. U into New Super Luigi U by way of DLC that’s available now, and a standalone disc coming at a later date. This time around, Nintendo has opted to morph the original New Super Mario Bros. But this is 2013 - the Year of Luigi - and everything changes. While Mario is off chasing the spotlight, Luigi is often content hanging back, kicking the dirt while his big brother saves the day. The “other” brother rarely gets the respect he deserves.
