These water platforms are awesome |
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 8/10
Damn... My girlfriend and I got our first legit Game Over screen during a castle level. We lost four levels worth of progress which deflated our enthusiasm quickly. The levels were actually a lot of fun in themselves though. One of them had us dangerously bouncing on clouds to reach the end. The other had us climb to the top with the help of cool water bubbles floating in the air. This creates swimming sections within the sky level! The ghost house was as tricky to navigate as ever. The last level had us walking on a block snake that hid parts of itself in clouds to block our view.
What really got us is the run through Ludwig's castle. The place is filled with dangerous platforms that squish Mario and his friends in the blink of an eye. Had we more lives, we would have been ok but alas, we were beat.
