Reason for the Award for Excellence
The selection for this award was based on the
popularity of “Enjoy playing alone or with others
” where such features as buddy play, 5-person
multiplayer mode, and Challenge Mode make it fun
for everyone from beginners to advanced players.
Work Introdution
The play has been optimized for the Wii U to take fuller advantage of the features of Wii U games, such as buddy play that allows cooperation with Mario by touching the Wii U GamePad screen and the Miiverse linking that displays the course clear feedback or other players on a map.
Of course, the adventure has been strengthened by such features as the newly enhanced Flying Squirrel Mario, Baby Yoshis to support the adventure, and the weird character Nabbit that chases Mario around. New modes like trying hard to set record alone or cooperating and battling with friends have been added to create a new Mario that everyone can enjoy, even when playing alone or with others.
New experiments have also been tried, such as updating all 82 courses even after release, creating New Super Luigi U as new contents that have Luigi with different operability as the lead character, releasing attack videos on YouTube, and using Miiverse to communicate with customers.
Comment of the game producer
We created Buddy play using the Wii U GamePad so that everyone from beginners to advanced players could enjoy playing this title for a long time by providing a different type of play where the Mario character is operated.
We have been pleased to hear from users that not only have unskilled players participated using buddy play, but that mothers who are not good at playing have been able to operate Mario while getting help from their skilled children using buddy play to enjoy playing together.
This title was, of course, created to be enjoyed for a long time when played as a 2D Mario game, but we also wanted to create an action game that can be enjoyed by both skilled and unskilled players.
We will continue working to provide surprises and fun that are worthy of such and award as this.
Thank you very much!
