The New Super Mario Bros. U Level Based On A Van Gogh Painting(?)

"New Super Mario Bros. U has its own take on the P-Wing, the P-Acorn. Use this item and you’ll transform into Squirrel Mario plus gain the ability to fly continuously through one stage. You can get a P-Acorn when you catch a Nabbit, a rabbit-like creature that appears in stages you completed. Catching the Nabbit hasn’t been that difficult so far since the Nabbit will periodically slowdown to taunt Mario.", writes Siliconera.

what first jumped out at me when I first saw super mario wii u in action at the last E3 was the backgrounds. Incredible detail never before seen in a mario game. I cant wait to take this eye candy in as I play through the levels.

Apparently Van Gogh always meant to add a short Italian plumber jumping on mushrooms in the foreground but succumbed to his demons before he could. Bless Nintendo for finally fully realising his vision.

If Van Gogh was alive today I think this would be his Game of the ear.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest295d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic295d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos294d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz294d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183294d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
