formula as the current era of gaming could possibly take.
U is as basic a take on the Super Mario Bros. The two new power-ups-a Flower that lets you turn enemies into ice, and a leaf that turns you into a flying squirrel, rather than a flying raccoon-aren’t as critical to the gameplay as the cape and raccoon suits are in previous titles in the series.
The game is but a massive collection of stages leading to that one final fortress. There are no keys or warp zones-save for a couple of alternate exits to stages scattered around-or warp whistles or Star Roads to find. The Mushroom Kingdom of this game is a watercolor-painted place where the flowers dance to the background music, the coins flow like wine, and enemies mosey across the screen in carefully laid patterns, all waiting to be stomped on by Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Toadette. U is content to be about the sheer intricacy of level design, simultaneously beckoning players ever forward-to run, jump, and climb across grandly cartoonish obstacle courses, all leading to a showdown in a spooky castle.

but doesn’t really advance its core concepts the way later 3D titles in the series built on the gameplay foundations set by Super Mario 64. It steals bits and pieces from the ones that came after the original Super Mario Bros. U isn’t a progression of ideas from what we’ve seen before from the 2D Super Mario Bros. games, but aside from more kinetic elements in each stage, New Super Mario Bros. titles have always represented a stripped-down, brass-tacks version of the original side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. U is a bit unambitious given its pedigree. That said, even without drawing comparisons to that recent Switch triumph, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe comes across like a love letter to everything Super Mario Odyssey left behind. Arriving in the wake of last year’s Super Mario Odyssey, a game that basically reinvents everything players know and love about the Super Mario Bros.
