Session fun rating: 9/10
We finished New Super Mario Bros U! Well, we saved Peach at least. The last world is full of lava pits, fireballs and spiky dudes. It also included an awesome bone roller coaster ride. Again, things were tough but not so bad that we couldn't make it through. The last boss was really cool. We finally got to see Bowser for real and at first, he was the simple, run under him while he jumps dude that we know and love. However, shortly after beating him once, he came back as a giant and had Bowser Jr. with him. The little guy was riding the clown rocket car thing from Super Mario World and we had to time our attacks on him to steal the clown car and ground pound the giant Bowser from above. It was difficult and my girlfriend got to sit in the back seat when she lost all her lives but we beat him.
After the credits, the game makes it clear that it's not over though. We still have the whole Star world to go through. To get the levels in it to open up, we have to gather all the star coins from a world, including those from secret levels. That meant going to Youtube to watch how to reach the secret exit in the first world. We did that, then beat a nice underwater level and eventually beat the first star world level.
