Boost block locations are preset?
Nintendo bringing back the hardcore.

You have to lay them manually with the touchpad while controlling Mario with the remote. Pretty sure this is intended to be a 2-player mode, but I'm doing it solo.

I wish stuff like this was integrated into the game's longer scenarios, rather than bite-sized side content.
Awesome. Looks like a blast. I really want to play that mode solo.
I'm with you, but 99% of gamers today would not finish the game then. I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't be comfortable with that.

How do you do this, do you have three hands?
What? Press b while on the map screen.

Poorly!
I just hold the remote and stylus (left handed) at the same time. It's not super comfortable and I tend to slip and mis-tap a lot, especially when I start to get sweaty palms, but it's serviceable.
I read that Iwata Asks interview where the team said some programmer managed to do all of these solo, so I thought:
But it's getting to the point where every time I clear one of these stages only to unlock another stage with a higher difficulty rating... I'm just...

WTF? This game doesn't even use Dolby Digital sound?
Hell, the system has HDMI, it can just do LPCM and avoid Dolby's licensing fees!

Probably something like this:
Comes from the NSMBU Iwata Asks.
Hmm, I feel like they could probably make it all work on the gamepad making better use of the shoulder buttons and dpad. That's what they did with Kid Icarus and the 3DS.

They said in the Iwata asks that one of the programmers got a gold in every challenge doing it that way.

Finished off what Challenges are available to me. Apparently you unlock more via Story Mode.
That control scheme blows for lefties.
Yeah, any remote should be fine.

I am fighting the urge to buy a Wii U just for this game. Nothing else announced for this system interests me at this time. Did anyone who shares these feelings buy a Wii U just for this game? What are your feelings towards this investment after playing it?
I think he means in the Super Mario World sense.

So I got this with my Wii U on Sunday. My impressions....
-Regular "campaign" is harder and longer than any of the other New Mario games (I know, thats what she said...)
-Challenge mode is way more... challenging.... than I was expecting
-Game looks great
-All the levels seem to be more alive than previous games
My favorite 2D mario since Mario World on the SNES.
Can't recommend it enough to anyone who likes 2D mario games.

I love the actual game, but I still can't believe the music is for the most part exactly the same, and completely recycled. It really makes me angry when I'm playing the game, putting a damper on my enjoyment. It's so lazy.

Man, the ice levels have such a gorgeous aesthetic.
Wait, so really no 5.1 sound here? On Nintendo's flagship launch title?
I thought something might be up with my receiver when I didn't hear anything coming from my surrounds. But then ZombiU worked fine...
Really Nintendo, you skimp on Mario!?!? No huge loss, but disappointing how lacking the audio presentation is as a whole. Still a lot of fun though!

The game looks great, but I've only played the original DS release of NSMB years ago, so the music and art style aren't ran into the ground to me.
Mario is floaty as shit though, and his running animation is kind of annoying.

Do you really want to hear more of this awful soundtrack?
I'm sure you've already done so, but you DID confirm that your Wii U was running in surround, right? The system defaults to stereo regardless of settings and requires you to manually switch to surround mode.
Still, even if it is DPL2, it's not as if the actual audio used in the game would benefit in any significant way. Hell, I've been playing the game with an alternate soundtrack instead. The music is just that bad.

lol, i can see myself trying this.

Hah! No.
But I would appreciate some ambient sounds (lava burbling, wind rushing, etc) in my surrounds. Instead this is basically stereo.
Is there a way to mute the music and play your own soundtrack?

Yeah. You're flat out lying if you manage to beat all of those on your first try. This where I can even see us buying some extra DLC long after you've finished the real game

Completed through Layer Cake Desert, Star Coins and all. From what I've seen though, there's
in this world. Is this true?
Anyway, this game is already a ton of fun. Level design and difficulty is great. Challenges have been a nice surprise as well.

I just found it.
Man, I really hope I will be able to buy a Nabbit mask from Nintendo in the near future.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the NSMB series and it does feel the same. Typical new stuff and for me it is worth the purchase but I could see where others could want more. Even the music doesn't bother me. But I would kill for some new stuff.

Can't find the hidden level in the first world. =/
Thanks to Schuelma for pointing out the level that led to the secret in Layer Cake! I totally missed it and thought I had gotten all the coins in that world (hadn't yet gotten
)

the message that pops up when you get all the coins in a world.

Hmm...I didn't get that message and I'm pretty sure I found all of the coins in Acorn Plains and Layer Cake Desert. I'm not sure what I missed...are there secret exits in later worlds that will unlock levels in those first two worlds?
Also, as a hint for the first secret exit, think
classic Mario secrets.

Nope. In Layer Cake Desert and Frosted Glacier, both worlds where I got the message, there are

Correct.
