Overall what elevates this game above its contemporaries is the level of care and detail in both its gameplay and presentation, from the mid-air spin delay you can use to control or extend your jumps, to the chorus of Yoshi voices that add to the music whenever you're joined by a dino pal, to the fact that every level is made distinct with its own name and gimmick. Expect to see a lot of epic gold medal runs on Twitter. Similarly, the Switch's ability to capture video with the press of a button seems made for this game. For example I spent hours on Wii U playing the challenge mode in bed or on the couch when someone else was using the TV, but now I never need to stop chasing those elusive golds. In fact I found a lot of the ancillary content more engaging this time around, owing to the fact that I could play it in handheld mode wherever I wanted. The changes make it a bit more frustrating than the main game overall, especially if playing with friends, but it is a smart reworking of the game with some surprising twists and nods, and the short stages make it perfect for playing in bite size chunks on your commute. You don't get anything for finding them, they're their own reward. There's also a new feature in Coin Battle that lets you edit where the coins will appear, using an interface that looks suspiciously like Super Mario Maker. The UI has seen an attractive overhaul, while an entire library of spoiler-filled streamable hint videos has been added that show you exactly where to find star coins or how to get a gold medal in the challenges. In terms of differences between the Wii U original and Deluxe, many of the changes are small but add up to a cleaner and more friendly game overall. There's also the Boost Rush mode, which challenges you to zoom through packs of levels quickly, and the competitive Coin Battle where you fight your friends to grab as much cash as you can. Even the easy challenges can be tricky to complete with a gold medal rating, but later levels are absolutely dastardly. Outside of the main game, my favourite part of NSMBU is the Challenges mode, featuring dozens of quick little levels that require you to race, collect coins, harvest extra lives or fulfil oddball objectives that run totally counter to how you usually play the game.
