Tiny Balloon Yoshi is red, and can swell up to carry your character to new heights, while the blue Yoshi can spit bubbles, capturing enemies inside them, and rendering them temporarily harmless. As they're so small, they can't really carry you on their backs like in the previous games, but that doesn't mean they don't have they're own uses. Also new for this game are a selection of tiny Yoshi dinosaurs, which you can grab and carry with you throughout the level. By shaking the controller, you'll also be able to give your character a boost and glide up higher, buying you plenty of extra time to get lined up with a platform, as well as making this an essential aid for Mario platforming novices. The demo we saw showed off a brand new Flying Squirrel suit, which, as the name may suggest, lets your character glide through the air and cross huge gaps by spreading their arms and praying - much as a flying squirrel would.

U also gets it's fair share of new power ups. With up to four people bouncing around through the Mushroom Kingdom together, now you'll be able to play as your very own Mii, along with the regular cast of Mario, Luigi, and the Yellow and Blue Toads, in the mad cap platforming mayhem.Īlong with a bunch of all new worlds and levels, New Super Mario Bros.

Originally revealed at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo as New Super Mario Bros.

Either Mario's shrunk, or those are some really big enemies.
