GenGAME writes: "As a launch title, Mario U is terrific groundwork for a stellar set of Wii U Super Mario Bros. games that tap a whole lot more into what the system is capable of – with more impressive environments, brand-new worlds to explore and foes to face, and ridiculous, memorable level design on par with the best of Mario 3. As a New Super Mario Bros. game, it’s a new benchmark for the series – no future game will be able to get away with not bringing at least this much ‘new’ to the table."
