How New Super Luigi U Turned THE WORST Mario Game Into One Of The BEST- Better Than Mario U? 

I remember using the Mini Mushroom in NSLU to fly over levels with the fun & floaty physics, it was hilarious. Like being a tiny green fly that still died in one hit, just soaring over everything.

The Switch version does have another disadvantage- Nabbit and Toadette also add 100 seconds to the timer- so it defeats the purpose of Luigi U when you use them

Nabbit clearly is added because everyone knows how not fun multiplayer is sometimes because of how hectic it is. If you were to speedrun with multiple players at once, it is way too hard! Nabbit makes it playable and much more fun. (I speak from own experience)

something i dont see many people mention when they talk about this game is that nabbit actually makes multiplayer different and more fun, as long as you're only playing with 2 players. the reason is because nabbit's interactions with players are far different than how blue and yellow toad work. nabbit can completely pass through other players, he can't be picked up and because of his invincibility, nabbit is encouraged to take different paths through the level. because of this you wont be bumping into each other as much. nabbit being "easy mode" is only really if you choose to play as him in single player, if you're playing multiplayer with one other person though, its a blast just don't do it on the switch port, they made it so you can interact with nabbit like a normal character (picking up, not passing through players, etc.) yet another reason as to why the switch port is actively worse than the originals

Luigi U is a perfect example of how important level design is to a game. At a glance New Super Luigi Bros U is a bad game, but then you see the same mechanics, enemies, level themes and power ups used in level design that's actually inspired. Suddenly you realize that all NSMBU needed to be amazing was level design that didn't bore you to tears

Nabbit is if giving your baby cousin an unplugged controller was a character.

I gotta say, usually these kinds of real life skits make me cringe, but yours was simple and quick, and it felt appropriate for the context, so I actually enjoyed it, nicely done!

Ngl, I’m down for more of this content. I feel like soon enough you’ll be getting even more shared viewers from the audiences of like Nicobbq and Nathaniel Bandy. And I do enjoy how you talk about these games since I haven’t really seen these NSMB focused videos in many other places on RU-vid. Personally I’d like to see you cover even more of this era for Nintendo. I’ll be sure to tune in next time.

2:49 No! NOOOOO!!! We are NOT resorting to that!!

I disagree that Nabbit being added as an easy mode is a bad thing. Just because the game is easy for you, doesn't mean it's easy for everyone, and gaming should be enjoyable to everyone, not frustrating. By adding an easy mode, the game becomes more accessible, and there's nothing wrong with that. Though I will agree it is a bit annoying that the 4th player always needs to be playing an easy mode, that feels like a total oversight. I really enjoy this game though, this is one of the best 2D Mario games, the level design is amazing and it was really creative for a NSMB game.

New Super Luigi U was a rather nice surprise from The Year Of Luigi for sure. Another thing that could have made it better tho is if Daisy was player 4 instead of Nabbit. That'd be awesome!

Mario & Luigi Dream Team was also an important part of the year of Luigi as well

I think it would've been funny if bowser captured mario instead of peach in this game and Luigi had to rescue him

7:12 "All Peach is a tool who doesn't even care about Mario." You could say she's a ToadsTOOL. ... I'll see myself out. :V

I personally disagree that trial and error is what ALL games are about

I absolutely fell in love with Luigi U when I first played it. I didn't think it was going to be any different but I played the first stage, heard the timer go off, saw the design of the first stage was different and that was it - I was hooked. Definitely a great way to shake up the "New" format.

Agreed. As cheap as NSLU is for recycling like 90% of the original game, it's fresh idea of spicing up level play makes it a bit better than NSMBU, if you ask me. Despite the fact you can call it a ROM hack and wouldn't be too far off the margin, I relish in the fact that it is much more difficult. I'd say NSLU contends with the likes of NSMBWii, and was overall a great time. It could've been much better as a standalone title for the year of Luigi, of course, but I'll take what I can get. Hmm, 9/10.

6:59 Oh, not just Daisy. I once said/suggested that Waluigi should have been in NSLU as the final boss battle instead of Bowser.

Your cartoon luigi impression was incredible, well done!

2:23 "The first game to have Luigi as a protagonist, is none other tha-" Me: MARIO IS MISSING! "Luigi's Hammer Toss." .......

10:46 Fun fact about Bullet Bill: The German translation of Bill just became "Willi", a direct translation of the name "Bill". So it's Kugelwilli. They should have called him Kugelkarl to resemble the idea, the English naming has, which clearly is the alliteration.

5:30 Actually they considered extra Boost Rush packs for release as DLC, but they ultimately decided on New Super Luigi U due to the Year of Luigi going on at the time.

I just got this game for the Wii U, and I must say, it's very good! It turns a slow paced game into a speedruner's dream.

A game fully focused on Luigi is always gonna be treasure imo

Have not had the pleasure to actually play through this game, except for a couple levels at GameStop. As a Luigi fan, I would want this regardless and agree it is a treasure.

2d sonic games still have a timer but it only counts the time you spend in a level similar to mario 64 but unlike mario 64 that timer actually matters because getting an S rank depends mostly on how quick you complete a level unlike mario 64 where I forget that a timer even exists

Lol that 90s Luigi accent is actually quite good. Personally I really like both New Soup U games, I feel like U fixed the problems of Wii, and Luigi U provides a fresh and creative spin on the original. Awesome video dude, we can tell you've worked hard on it.

The mario movie looks way awesome than i exspet

This was one of the only games I had growing up and i hugely preferred Luigi U over Mario U. I still don't know why, but I have over 200 hours on Luigi U because I practically 100%ed it everyday until I got 3D World and Galaxy 1 and 2. The physics are really fun and it has so much replay value from the shorter levels.

Luigi U is uust a nice break from the standard Mario 2D formula. The timer never felt unfair, as the levels were perfectly designed with it in mind, making it a fun fast paced experience. The difficulty was just right too, not terribly difficult but not a walk in the park eithrr (aside from some of the endgame levels which were damn hard).

NSLU has to be my favorite of the whole series I like how difficult they are compared to the other Mario games. Also, they are short and simple so the level is over very soon.

Ironically enough, I've never actually played NSMBU. My mom bought me Luigi U and I am forever grateful for that

I just love your videos so much, it can really be seen how much effort you put into them and all the research you do for them, they're so enjoyable I have watched them multiple times but still enjoy them so much when I want to take my mind off things and relax🥰

I agree with your opinions and the initial skit was hilarious, you have potential 💪🏻 Maybe the intro was a bit too long and didn't need to talk about the whole Luigi history just for a review of NSLU

Off topic: As a Luigi and Metroidvania fan, I think a challenging Metroidvania staring Luigi would be a great game for the guy. Tough bosses and platformering, Luigi physics combined with E.Gadd's gadets, and a unique story would be an excellent game and a nice change of pace from typical 2D mario.

Just imagine if Luigi would have picked up Daisy on the way and she was a playable character-

For me, I actually first discovered Luigi in Super Mario Bros. DX, by pressing select on the map, you can play as him. Lost Level physics and all. I know, I'm old haha. Irrelevant comment aside, I've seen both of your NSMBU videos, and I gotta say. I agree. NSLU is the better of the two. I remember I got NSMBU for free when I got MK8 and I never got around to beating it. NSLU on the other hand, I beat the game using the Mini Mushroom in the last Bowser fight. It was a true David and Goliath moment. lol Wish I still had my physical copy though, they're way past the $30 price tag nowadays.

Legendary intro. Excellent job as always!

The opening skit was hilarious... Loved the video as well

Love the Luigi voice, reminds me so much of his voice in the cartoon

Honestly? They should have replaced Nabbit with Daisy as the fourth person. Yes, new asset, but still would have been amusing to see Daisy platforming with Luigi to save Peach.

I remember being so hyped and loving every second of Luigi U, now I wanna play it again!

it was actually very original to tie Mario's absence in this game to Mario Land 2, not only does it makes sense, but its way more creative than anything Nintendo has tried to do with 2D Mario

An Italian from Brooklyn eating Little Caesars? Truly an alternate dimension

0:14 Love the inclusion of a king bill. Favorite enemy

Your quality of videos is amazing! Just found your channel this week and have been enjoying watching the videos on your channel and I think you deserve all the views you are getting and more! Keep making videos better and better and I think you can gain a massive following on the platform!

The Segemnt of you Acting like Luigi, reminds me of the super Mario show. This game is really great.

Dude I've been following you for quite a while now and man your content is godlike. Good sence of humor and you perfecly talk about the games. You got a new subscriber my dude keep it up💪🏼👍🏻

I could only play the lost levels as Luigi, I beat the whole game as him including the alphabet levels. I was a teenager then and it wasn’t easy. I may venture back to that game for another go

I will forever remember 2013 as the year of Luigi, truely an amazing year for me!!! #GoLuigi

10:23 insert Fishy Boopkins quote

NSMBU is objectively the best 2D Mario game, and one of the best 2D platformes in general. The formula may be tired at this point, and it shouldn't have launched at the same time as 2, but it's the opposite of trash. The level design is inarguably top tier in both Mario U and Luigi U.

I always imagined that Mario was in the bathroom when bowser attacked lol

The audio is from the Mario Bros commercial for Atari 2600. Such an incredible commercial for such a terrible port.

The skit at the beginning was great. NSLU is really close to becoming my favorite NSMB game.

I remember when I got the physical version back then........ The green is fire.....

It’s sad that Toadette replaces Blue Toad in the Deluxe Version. Nintendo can just add Toadette without replacing him.

Luigi once again saving the day

They should’ve replaced Peach with Daisy in New Super Luigi U though. But still, this video, and the game is Luigi approved.

Demeech: games these days are too easy My super world: am I a joke to you

imagine if they made a new super peach u were its mario who gets kidnapped and peach has to save him like super princess peach

Yea, I agree that playing as Nabbit feels like cheating. But it's not even a fun easy mode. You're barely playing the game if you can't get hit by enemies. At least the White Tanooki Suit only gets available after dieing a lot of times in the same level. But the Funky Kong Mode from Tropical Freeze is one of the best easy modes I've seen so far: Extra health and a double jump.

9:27 Sonic Games also always have a timer. And in Sonic games, it even makes sense.

I like the idea that all of the Super Mario escapades all take place in 1983.

18:04 "Orange you glad I didn't say apple again?"

being nabbit as a 4th player and stealing your friends power ups and pissing them off is hilarious

As someone who doesn't care about nintendo or their games your channel is a lot of fun to watch

I would love to see a new Super Luigi wii game

Oh it absolutely it is better than Mario U!

I agree that including a character with invincibility by default wasn't the best idea, but "easy modes" are great for accessibility if they're option. Sometimes they still require platforming skill

Haven't That Commercial Since The Good Ol' Days! 😭🥺❤️

The leapster brought back early memories... wow

Loved the intro with the old Luigi voice, got the flashbacks. :)

Thar was a pretty awesome impression of cartoon Luigi!!

I wasnt expecting this!

No way in hell that this was ever bad, it's fantastic.

7:23 : That CHARLIE Day !!!

Maybe the real Mario is Missing was the friends we made along the way

I feel invisability should be a reward for skilled players instead of being a reward for bad players. Sonic games did it well with Super Sonic in Sonic 2 and 3

It could be interesting to see a sort of Kaizo/Dark Souls Luigi platforming game, with a baby/casual mode for the layman.

I absolutly love this game, Even tho i got it on my WiiU i often only plays it on my Switch because i can play it anywere.

I absolutely love NSLU. It is the best "hidden treasure" of the Mario series. Enjoy the NEWER games. Newer Super Mario Bros Wii was one of my favorite mods of all time. The DS game had some wild difficulty swings worse than Mario 3.

Underrated af… just like the game itself

Daisy just splapped Bowser in to Fægin Space in Mario Party 3

Oh my goodness there's a Mario timeline! So that's why I canonically there is a New Super Luigi U. Mario had to go get those six golden coins to get his castle back from Wario in Super Mario Land 2 six golden coins. And my goodness there's a copy next to luigi. So that means that Super Mario Odyssey takes place before New Super Luigi U

God these videos remind me of the 2012 era of gaming reviews

I’d say that New Super Luigi U would be good for people who like speed running 2D Mario games.

The 2 things I hate the most about New Super Luigi U are Nabbit and the time limit for each level.

Nintendo really sleeping on this "Wabbit" concept

NSMBU was the best one behind the DS game

6:45 …Or he went to the restroom and never came back (It’s like a science fiction story!) lol

Silokhawk is gonna be mad at watching this title

My only criticism about Luigi U is a certain level in Superstar Road: Fire Bar Sprint (World 9-6)

Wait, Demeech isn't actually a crocodile in real life? My life is a lie!

11:05 Actually the Deep Cheep is new to New Super Luigi U, despite it receiving artwork for New Super Mario Bros. U.

that skit was beautiful

Wow this opened my eyes. Great video btw, I see you've put a lot of effort in it, despite being a small youtuber.

My ringtone use to be the virtual boo ( i changed it to the dual scream) So when i heard it playing in this video i was like " I though i changed that ringtone"

How many people thought NSMBU was a rom hack of NSMBW when first seeing the e3 trailer

2:01 *sigh* We live in a world where preferring a character is going to have people give you crap, huh?
