Date played: December 14th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 9/10
I played through the end of the mountain world with and a small portion of the next one, a sort of cloud world. There were some great levels here, they are really pushing level design now and have some interesting ideas. One of the levels felt like Donkey Kong Country Returns and that's always a good sign in my book. It had moving platforms that would create "running space" then close. This was quite difficult with two players but it was very well done. Conveyor belts, lava and a battle with Roy and his Bullet Bill shooting rocket launcher concluded the world.
The two levels we played in the cloud world were also interesting. One had us riding a large cloud platform through the entire level. While that isn't too crazy in itself, it moves really quickly and that made it fun and challenging. The next level had us navigating teeter-totter mushrooms with a bit of help from Yoshi. We got to ride a Lakitu cloud in this one! It's totally cute.
