Here's our video breakdown of the Switch port of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. In fact many of the backgrounds use multiple layers, of clouds, jutting cliffs, and extra effects like snow, to build a sense of position in the foreground. Super Mario Bros U - both Deluxe and the Wii U release - go a little further with a gaussian depth of field effect, and even light shafts. A parallax scrolling effect is also used on 2D background layers, just like the 16-bit days - meaning different layers move at different speeds to create an illusion of depth as you run. It's never overplayed, but lets fireballs and lamps properly illuminate nearby geometry. The advantage here is it opens the gates to more modern lighting, and shader techniques for elements like water or lava. The 2D sprite-work of Mario World is, for all its charms, ditched in favour of conventional 3D character modeling. That's not to say it rests on its laurels. This is Nintendo's line to a rich tradition of 2D-game design, even if it's through a medium of 3D rendering, that would otherwise be lost to time. Rather, it pays tribute to the mascot's legacy, going back to the template of Super Mario World on Super NES, in particular, with its map top-down layout.

Looking back, New Super Mario Bros has never really been Nintendo's most technically advanced series. Otherwise, this new release plays it relatively straight, but look under the hood, and there are a few more changes than you might at first expect. Two new characters join from the start - Nabbit and Toadette - offering easier ways to get involved. What's included? Well, the original game and its Luigi expansion are tied up into one package, and besides losing the Miiverse integration, everything else stays intact. As with so many highlights of Nintendo's last console, the original sadly got overlooked, despite being one of the series' best - and so it's great that Switch gets a conversion similar in scope to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. 2.What better way to kick off the new year? New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe on Switch is a complete version of the Wii U release, with some content upgrades and a smattering of visual tweaks to boot. See the New features page for differences between Super Mario Advance and earlier versions of Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Advance was a best-seller, and it became one of the Game Boy Advance's first three Player's Choice games (along with Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3). Super Mario Advance also includes an enhanced remake of Mario Bros., which has updated audiovisuals and Mushroom Kingdom-based enemies replacing the generic creatures of the original (Spinys taking the place of Shellcreepers, for example) this game would be included in all three subsequent Super Mario Advance titles and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Graphical and audio enhancements were added in the form of enlarged sprites, multiple hit combos, digital voice acting, and such minor stylistic and aesthetic changes as an altered default health-meter level, boss-order, backgrounds, the size of hearts, Princess Toadstool being renamed to the now-standard 'Princess Peach,' and the inclusion of a chime to announce starmen, were also added.The addition of the Yoshi's Challenge (in which players may revisit stages to search for Yoshi eggs).The addition of Robirdo, a robotic Birdo acting as the boss of World 3.Multiplayer mode available when up to four Game Boy Advances are connected with a Link Cable.
