Pic of the day. Here's a new Wii U stage, Mushroom Kingdom U! It brings to life the worlds of New Super Mario Bros. U.


When Kamek casts a spell, the stage transforms drastically! That said, this is not what you would call a moving stage… …By the way, this stage will be playable in the demo version of the game for E3, a game expo that starts on June 10 in Los Angeles.

The NSMBU hate on GAF is pretty crazy. I suspect it's mostly from people that hate the previous games or hate the artstyle and went in with as closed a mind as possible.

I love the games (sans DS I guess) and hate the art style.

NOW WHAT

EDIT: Oh hey Kamek's going to show up! Really feels like there's more of an emphasis sneaking in more significant character cameos in the levels themselves this time around compared to the other games.

I'm definitely not aware of those hates, but again I don't go to any Mario Platformer threads at all. Well, that suck for them.

[RomanceDawn]

Wow looks nice! Does it scroll? I wonder when that 2nd part comes in?

 

[SuperSah]

"Mushroom Kingdom U" lol

Scroller confirmd

 

[OricWindstar]

It does...

Haha, sorry, it looked a lot different when I was glancing mid Mario Kart matches. Still looks great.

Wow, this looks amazing. Like that they choose to use the backdrops from New Mario U which looked great in the first place. I can't wait for E3 to finally here more. Been playing Kirby Triple Deluxe Multi with my brother while we wait for Smash to finally release on 3DS to tide us over to the U release.

Nope. Deconfirmed in second post.

Awesome. I wonder how many more unannounced stages will be playable next week?

Looks like a tournament legal stage too, assuming there aren't more transformations.

 

[RagnarokX]

Are those blocks platforms or part of the background? If they're platforms hopefully you can drop through them.

Those are stretch blocks. They'll expand and contract but I doubt you can drop through them.

 

[JoeM86]

I want details of the Kalos Pokémon League. If it just flies through the rooms, it'll be boring.

 

[SuperSah]

Nope. Deconfirmed in second post.

I was fooling with the name.

I wonder what other stages they may announce this week.

 

[TriBlade]

Hmm.....This map makes me want to get NSMBWU as my free game from MK8 rather than pikmin. Whats the call guys?

Pikmin

nvm, looks cool anyways

 

[Dryk]

It'll be like the blocks in the Melee Mario World stage. You won't be able to drop through them but you'll fall through them if you attack them.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Looks great!

ALSO GET PIKMIN 3 OMG

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Not teleport like the game?

 

[random25]

A transformation stage. Similar to FE stage in Brawl. Cool.

Needs to also have more info on the Pokemon stage featured during Greninja's reveal.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Between NSMBU and Pikmin, get Pikmin.

But I did like NSMBU/NSLU a whole lot.

 

[RagnarokX]

No, those kinds of blocks are only in SMW. These look similar but they don't spin when you hit them. They periodically stretch out into long platforms and then contract into a single block.

 

[Cse]

Do we have any indication as to how many stages will feature "bosses"?

Assuming we have around 30-35 stages, I hope the number of stages with bosses is kept to a minimum....<5 or so. Or hopefully we would at least have an option to disable bosses from appearing on stages.

 

[RomanceDawn]

This might be banned in competitive play but I already know it's going to get a heck of a lot of playtime my circles. Looks beautiful to me!

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Looks like a tournament legal stage too, assuming there aren't more transformations.

Assuming the urchin hurts you if you touch it wouldn't that make it banned? Or does it really only boil down to how random a stage obstacle that can hurt players is before the stage isn't tournament legal?

Also there's no way there'll skip the Van Gogh forest locale. It's the main thing separating NSMBU visually from NSMBWii, besides Princess Peach's Castle (which they should have too).

 

[Kurtofan]

Sakurai delivers.

 

[SuperSah]

They better show the Tomodachi stage this week.

I'd like this to be a stage week where they reveal five stages. That'd rock.

 

[StreetsAhead]

By the way, this stage will be playable in the demo version of the game for E3, a game expo that starts on June 10 in Los Angeles.

My emotions are unable to handle this information.

 

[AdanVC]

This week is set to a good start with that new stage. Looks awesome. Megatons incoming prior to E3. Ay!

If Halberd is a counter-pick I can't see anything in those images that would get it banned. Though I expect if those platforms randomly stretch out and save people trying to recover it would rustle a few jimmies.

 

[tonyh24613]

I think they'll show Tomodachi collection stage a few weeks after its release, which means PotD after E3.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Can't wait for the orchestrated bah bahs.

I've been playing too much NSMB2 lately. I instantly heard the bah bah bahs in my head when you said that.

The main thing separating NSMBU visually from NSMBWii is the entire game...

 

[Crocodile]

So this stage is like Pokemon Colosseum in how it handles transformations? That should make it ok for tourneys hopefully

 

[Byronic Hero]

I didn't like NSMBU all that much but that stage looks amazing.

 

[LaNaranja]

As long as we are talking 2D Marios, New Super Luigi U was my favorite game of last year. I loved all looking for all the devilishly hidden secrets. They should have made the Fire Bar Sprint level as a scrolling stage in Smash.

[Omzz]

this stage looks awesome. omg just 1 more week guys

 

[Jagsrock]

Nicee stage looks really nice.looks better than the game it's representing.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

We had this debate a month ago and you didn't convince me NSMBU is a significantly different looking game to NSMBWii the first time, so I don't see the point in going through the same conversation again.

 

[Man God]

not only that but that is easily the blandest stage you could have picked from NSMBU.

 

[RagnarokX]

Well, if your delusions are that strong so be it. I mean it's literally completely different looking and the screenshots back this up but whatever.

 

[SuperSah]

Am I the only one not entirely hyped for E3?


I just ain't feeling it. Hopefully I will when it gets even closer.

 

[OricWindstar]

I wish I wasn't so it would get here faster.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll throw the 3DS version a bone and upload a 30 second trailer to Youtube after the event is over.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Okay, please don't turn this thread into NSMB Wii vs. NSMB U since I don't know what happens in other threads but I would appreciate that if y'all don't.

Am I the only one not entirely hyped for E3?


I just ain't feeling it. Hopefully I will when it gets even closer.

Because they don't do 3DS demo?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Being hyped for E3 is dumb.

"Man I can't wait until they show me two days of commercials, I am fucking stoked"

Just watch and be happy at the potential, don't lose yourself to excitement to the point where you invest emotionally in to what these studios are doing (or in most cases, doing to you).

 

[RagnarokX]

not only that but that is easily the blandest stage you could have picked from NSMBU.

I was comparing similar tropes. There are only 4 levels in NSMBU that use the plains as a major backdrop:

 

[Loco4Coco]

I just want more info on SSB4 and Gen3 remakes, anything else after that is just icing on the cake.

 

[JoeM86]

That's good. The less you're hyped, the more likely you are to be blown off your feet and surprised.

I'm likely to be disappointed because I'm so hyped.

 

[SuperSah]

You are aware the 3DS game is on the showfloor too, right? Also, the Smash discussion definitely will not just be on the Wii U game for an hour and a half.

I'm not even talking about that, I mean generally.

 

[SenorArdilla]

So basically a Mario-version of Pokémon Stadium. Also Kamek.
