Having the word ‘new’ in the title of anything has always been one of my pet hates, but I’ve always been a fan of Mario games and have owned every console Nintendo have ever produced. This game is the latest in the long series of Mario games produced by Nintendo and I picked it up just after it came out in November.
It’s the first Mario game since the Mario Bros. arcade game to feature simultaneous multiplayer action, with the ability to have up to 4 players on screen at the same time.
With classic 2D side-scrolling, koopa stomping action, this game certainly has the classic winning formula and also introduces new twists like the propellor and penguin suit.
Lots of fun! Metacritic score: 87
