Honestly, I'm pleasy surprised by the game and its challenge. I've just reached the last world, but the level design is awesome and has some "Lost Levels" feeling.

Can't decide if I should 5-star first, or go straight for mr. Luigi?

For some weird reason when I started the game on the main plaza screen as opposed to the one on the main menu it jumped me right into the update.
EDIT: oh and the DLC is up. I'm at 15% downloaded right now.

Well I managed to get the DLC started downloading and it went fast to the halfway mark and now it's crawling at an unbelievably slow pace for the 2nd half. Guess the crowd found out it was released finally, haha.

Finished 3 worlds. It's not too bad, but the fact that all the courses are short courses really hurt it. It seems to me that they're too short to really be extremely difficult. They're not a walk in the park, but it's not as hard as I was hoping.
Right now I feel like anyone trying to decide between this and the original NSMBU game should definitely get NSMBU and not NSLU.

Definitely buying today but wish I started the download prior to going to work.

I wish so hard the patch allowed me to play with the gameplad like a normal person while playing multiplayer.
Like the hat?

My nsmbu won't update, so I can't download the DLC. Yay.
Trying to get it now but, man, the Nintendo online experience is really really bad. For some reason I was expecting things to be somewhat ironed out but everything is slow and constantly pushes you into walls. It's so frustrating. I've been trying to buy it for like 20 minutes and I'm still waiting to even get to that point.

Pretty smooth process for me thankfully.
Not sure what I feel about the 100 time limit, I like taking my time. . .

Nintendo's update system is terrible
Download the patch for NSMBU.
Wait for the patch to install.
Go into game
Hit icon and go to store
buy content in store (going through like 20 menus in the process)
wait for download
exit game, go back into game
wait for download to install
This has taken me about 50 minutes so far.

I am also interested in knowing this!
Only played up to the first fort, but the challenge is definitely as advertised, especially when it comes to getting the star coins in the time limit. One thing that will help you out in the fort/castles is that getting to the boss door will give you a 100 second extension, so don't feel like you're being too rushed through those levels.
I'm in the same boat as you. Personally I think they priced the DLC version just a little too high. DLC should've been £15 and disc should've been £20 in my opinion.
Yep. Having to adjust to Luigi physics adds to the difficulty more than the actual level design, and then getting on Yoshi after you finally start getting used to it really screws everything up. But it's not a complaint, I think it's pretty funny
Played through the first two worlds, but haven't gotten all the star coins/secret exits since I usually save that for later. I dunno how I feel yet. The level design is brilliant at times, but I feel like the 100 second timer is a detriment to the game, and that's coming from someone who thought the strict time limit was actually gonna be a good thing going into it. The castles have been my favorite, especially world 2 castle; first time Luigi's slip-slideyness really messed up my playing in a major way, but again, in a more fun(ny) way than frustrating
But I definitely feel like the level design is the most inventive 2-D Mario has been in a while. Relies more on, like...set pieces? Maybe that's not the right word. Everything feels like it's going really fast, and there tends to be way more moving parts going on at any given time than in any of the other NSMB games. Looking forward to playing more tonight

how is the d-pad (feel+placement) on the pro-controller anyway? Similar to the gamepad's? For reference, I think the 360 d-pad is pretty terrible.

The 100 second timer does add an issue where just as a stage gets going its all over, it's almost too bite sized at times for my liking and it stings a bit when the actual stages are fun for the short time they last.
Just done World 5, so far i've found the towers pretty interesting as far as level design goes.

I do wish the spin was mapped to ZR and ZL as well as R and L but thats just a minor complaint, otherwise I'm liking the Pro controller support and have Luigi U downloading in the background.

This was seriously helpful.
People need to look at this.
I downloaded the game update but it was obviously not the correct one, and so the Wii U eshop would not let me download the DLC. Following the above instructions fixed everything.
Thank god for the internet and GAF.
