A variety of playable characters are available, some with unique attributes that affect gameplay and platforming physics.
Younger and less-experienced players will love playing as Toadette, who is brand new to both games, and Nabbit, who was formerly only playable in New Super Luigi U. Both characters offer extra assistance during play.
Multiplayer sessions are even more fun, frantic, and exciting thanks to entertaining character interactions. Need a boost? Try jumping off a teammate’s head or getting a teammate to throw you!
Features a wealth of help features, like a Hints gallery, reference videos**, and a Super Guide in New Super Mario Bros. U that can complete levels for you if they’re giving you trouble.
Three additional modes—Boost Rush, Challenges, and Coin Battle—mix up gameplay and add replayability, while also upping the difficulty for players who want to try something harder. Players can use their Mii characters in these modes!
Share the adventure with a friend! During two-player co-op gameplay, each player can use a single Joy-Con controller, so no additional accessories are required. And to add two more players to the mix, all you need is one extra set of Joy-Con controllers (sold separately).
Description
Join Mario, Luigi, and pals for single-player or multiplayer fun anytime, anywhere! Take on two family-friendly, side-scrolling adventures with up to three friends* as you try to save the Mushroom Kingdom. Includes the New Super Mario Bros. U and harder, faster New Super Luigi U games—both of which include Nabbit and Toadette as playable characters!
Two games in one, for double the fun! Simple, straightforward controls, new playable characters optimized for younger and less-experienced players, and a wealth of bonus content—like a Hints gallery and helpful reference videos**—make this a perfect choice for anyone looking to introduce their family to the wonderful world of Mario. All a player needs is one Joy-Con controller, so two people can team up right out of the box! Tackle 164 platforming courses in the two main game modes and enjoy extra replayability with three additional game modes in which you can also play as a Mii character: Challenges, Boost Rush, and Coin Battle!
Please visit this game’s page on the official Nintendo website for the most up to date compatibility information.
*Additional accessories may be required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately. **Internet access required in order to access Videos gallery

Its okay
I was hoping for this game to be like the original one back when I was a kid in the early 2000s, but it just wasn’t the same. I haven’t played since then, but I personally don’t care for the way it’s structured now.

Nostalgic gameplay
The classic gameplay is awesome, building on the legacy of the the first title from the Nintendo DS. Some of the star coins are almost impossible to get in every stage though, especially in single player mode.

Purchased. But code is not working. I contacted customer support. They told me I need to call during buisness hours. I will update if this issue is fixed. (If I can) Haven't had a problem before. So I am optimistic.

Let'sa go
A great Mario universe game. This one gets more into the feel of the old “2D” games, and is less of an open world sort of game. You’ve got a starting point, and and ending point. Everything inbetween is generally just one specific path. Keeping it simple, the way Italian plumbing was intended.
