New Super Mario Bros. U/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced:
 * Miis are playable... only in side modes, but hey: you're still able to play as Darth Vader or Bob Ross in a Mario game!
 * The numerous throwbacks to Super Mario World, a nice change of pace after the ones to Super Mario Bros 3 found in New Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.
 * The first player can finally play as someone other than Mario in the Deluxe edition!
 * Game Breaker:
 * The Super Acorn carries on the grand tradition of flight-based powerups breaking the game. Like the cape in Super Mario World, you can use it to glide across dangerous terrain for long distances. While it's not as busted since there's no way to infinitely sustain your gliding, it takes a lot of the challenge out of some of the game's tougher platforming sections.
 * The P-Acorn, however, does get infinite hangtime. Along with making clearing annoying stages a breeze, it also can also make it a lot easier to grab certain tricky Star Coins.
 * Introduced in New Super Luigi U, Nabbit is basically the game's easy mode: while he can't use powerups, he doesn't take damage from enemies or most obstacles. In the DLC he was introduced in, he also gives you 100 extra seconds to beat a level in.
 * Toadette from Deluxe is also a lot more powerful than the Mario Bros. and generic Toads: while she isn't invincible like Nabbit, she gets exclusive access to the Super Crown, which turns her into Peachette, who can glide across bottomless pits just like Peach could in Super Mario Bros. 2. Oh, and even when she's not Peachette, Toadette also controls a lot better underwater and swims like a character wearing a Penguin Suit.
 * The Baby Yoshis have a ton of power packed away in their tiny little bodies. The magenta ones can give you a ton of hangtime thanks to being long-lasting, multiuse balloons that synergize with the Flying Squirrel Suit, while the blue ones can instantly kill most enemies by trapping them in bubbles. And while you can't take them out of the levels you get them in, even the gold ones are capable of acting like Flashbangs that momentarily stun annoying enemies.
 * It's the Same, Now It Sucks: Despite it shaping up to have its own identity, this game gets called out for not bringing out "the full potential of the Wii U".
 * Memetic Mutation: Thanks to a comic by Indonesian artist ayyk92, the fanart of other characters other than Toadette using the Super Crown to transform in their own versions of Peach or female versions of themselves (with a big dose of Hotter and Sexier involved) exploded up to the release of the Deluxe version of the game.
