As a Nintendo Brand Ambassador I was provided with product. But seriously, who wouldn’t be absolutely THRILLED to test out their new game?! All opinions are 100% mine!
Super Mario Bros will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember Christmas, the year that I turned 12, I got the new Nintendo, which came with Super Mario Bros. I could not have been more excited. Powering through the levels, the noise as I collected coins and other goodies, I mean… pure unadulterated fun!
Now there are SO many different games, different gaming consoles and honestly? I just get lost with most of them. I mean, Guitar Hero and Tetris are about as exciting as I get most of the time. I cannot stand first person shooter games, they make me feel nauseous… haha. Where is my Mario Bros fun?!
So I was beyond thrilled to work with Nintendo as a Brand Ambassador this holiday season.
Did you know that there is now a game called Super Mario Maker? This is Super Mario Bros on steroids!! You can actually MAKE the levels that you dreamed up while playing all those years ago! Plus there are HUNDREDS of levels already available too.
The best part? This is something that is EASY for the kids to play and you get a piece of that video game fun with them.
Dad loves playing the LEGO games with the kids, or other ones, but I’ve just never been able to get into video games like that. Super Mario Bros… that is a whole other story! I’m all over it! The kids love that they have a game that mom will play with them too. Yes, every once in a while, it is fun to be the ‘cool mom’ 😉
Some of the feature that you will find on the new Super Mario Maker:
- Play a near-limitless number of Mario levels created by Nintendo and players around the world.
- Create your own Mario levels by using the Wii U GamePad controller touch screen to add enemies, blocks, pipes and more.
- Break the conventions of traditional Super Mario gameplay by blending enemies, traps and items into unexpected twists, like Piranha Plant-shooting cannons, power-up-tossing Lakitus, or even Hammer Bros. riding on Bowser while bouncing on trampolines..
- Touch control, instant editing and a robust online ranking and search system makes creating, playing and sharing a seamless process.
- Switch between four distinct themes, each with different art styles and features:
- Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U.
- Transform into different characters at random with the new Mystery Mushroom item.
- Expand the roster of possible characters by completing 100 Mario Challenge mode or tapping compatible amiibo.
- Tap a 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo figure to the Wii U GamePad controller to add a Big Mushroom power-up to your course!
- Each retail copy of the game will come with a special booklet that offers fun ideas for designing courses.
If you are looking for something that is fun for the entire family this holiday season, I definitely recommend it! Bring back that 90s fun!
