I think people sell New Super Mario Bros U short in the comparisons to Mario Maker. If you want 2D Mario, U has tons and tons of really high quality levels - and, notably, only high quality levels, with no piles of mediocre stuff to sift through. It also has a world map with hidden exits, collectables that are actually tracked and can unlock things, and the whole New Super Luigi U expansion, which is a really great and well made take on more Kaizo-ish levels without getting frustrating. Not that Mario Maker isn't great as well, but there's a big difference between a bespoke, standalone Mario game and an endless pile of individual user levels, and there's plenty of reasons you might prefer the former.

I think people were just really burned out on NSMB by the time U came around, it didn't help that it was Mario's Wii U debut instead of a new 3D title. It's a tightly designed underappeciated game.

Mario Maker is great but yeah NSMBU is being undersold; it's a visually bland game but its levels are aces, as with nearly any Mario game, and are decently challenging. Plus, yeah, all the stuff you can't get in Mario Maker like secret exits. And Mario Maker doesn't have nearly as many level gimmicks--yeah, part of the fun is seeing how creative people can get in creating their own gimmicks with the limited toolset, but it's still a far cry from actual natively implemented gimmicks (which gets very apparent when you put NSMBU next to the recreation of NSMBU in MM)

I've posted this sort of thing before but there are over 20 million SMM2 user levels currently available in the game. Let's pretend that 99% of them are utter trash. That still leaves 200,000 non-trash levels, a lot of which have made it to many best-of lists available online. Plus, since April 2020, users have been able to string the levels together to make their own worlds, which has been great. It's not perfect, I kind of wish it locked you into one style so you could collect power ups to carry over, but hey, it's better than having to individually track down each of those levels. Also, most creators who work hard on good levels don't just suddenly upload garbage, so with the STAR on a user's profile, which acts as sort of a "follow", you can go under one tab and see everything that's been uploaded by creators you're following. People bitch and moan about trash levels, but with the smallest amount of effort (which I realize might be too much to ask for some of you), you can have a fantastic SMM2 experience, through and through. Also, yeah, the campaign is filled with top tier levels, and if you go to the leaderboards section, you'll find even more levels made by Nintendo, from different regions. There aren't a ton, but I wonder how many people have missed those ones? Edit: also, it can be genuinely fun sometimes to do a sort of trash gauntlet, going through some of the dumbest creations imaginable.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Lol at even considering NSMBUD if you haven't gotten Super Mario Maker 2 yet. I don't know if that's your situation, but holy poo poo, SMM2 is infinite Mario, and you don't have to always play in that gross NSMB style. There are trash levels, sure. And there are also insanely creative and fun levels, too. NSMBU is a game full of really great levels that is a ton of fun to play while Super Mario Maker requires looking pretty hard to find courses that match up to those. There are lots of fun levels but NSMBU is a really great Mario game.

I read the same article, Nostradorkus, but I don't believe the super-secret 6th Mayan calender running out next year will result in the apocalypse. Those SMM2-levels remain safe, for now
