You don't need to complete the game to unlock Nabbit and Toadette. Maybe that was true in the original, but on Switch they are available from the beginning.

Nabbit was a great addition in my opinion. My 8yo isn't very skilled at games, so feeling like she should could beat levels all by herself made the game a lot more enjoyable to her. Nabbit can't use power ups, so you cannot use it as a crutch to get all the star coins--a well-design compromise.

While some may balk at the "new" series in general, as I said in my review of the original New Super Mario Bros, I think the series is intended for new players. U Deluxe seems tailor made for parents in their 30s that grew up with Mario to play it with their kids.

Thanks, I amended my review on that point. I suppose it's nice to have Nintendo catering to accessibility, but I've always marveled at kids who play difficult games well because they enjoy it and rose to the challenge. There's something very satisfying about that, and I think it waters down the experience when that difficulty curve is tacked on. Conversely, I do appreciate that it's optional, ala Luigi U.

I'm glad that Nintendo does work to incorporate all experience levels.

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...
