You continue to have options such as Creation Mode for folks who want a more free-ranging crafting experience. Otherwise, the Wii U edition should be familiar to folks who have played other console versions of Minecraft. You get familiar items such as mushrooms as well as skins that turn chickens into goombas and sheep into koopas to keep things more in line with the Mario theme.Īnother thing that sets this version apart is the use of the Wii U tablet, particularly for off-TV play. In addition to a plethora of textures, the game comes with a variety of Mario-themed skins. It also comes with a recreation of the castle from Super Mario 64 as well as Mario 64 music, which should bring a smile to folks who recognize it. Loading the Mario-inspired portion of the game, for example, unveils a themed sandbox that includes gigantic recreations of characters such as Mario, Chomp Chomp and Bob-omb. This comes in the form of the Super Mario Edition’s Mash-Up Pack, which features textures based on Nintendo’s mascot that allows you to create your own Mario-themed area or even re-create famous structures from past games. To help it stand out from the rest of the Minecraft family, the Wii U Edition throws in a touch of Nintendo’s popular mascot.
