Symptom of Synesthesia

populationgo:

The first new adventure of Mario and co. will be New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U.

The new game will support up to 4 Wii Remotes to platform and 1 GamePad to help other players by activating platforms and removing obstacles. The new game will feature Yoshi who will act like a power up and will consume objects, similar to his function in Super Mario World.

The game will also be supporting the Miiverse but few details were given about its functionality.

Several screenshots are after the break.

Update: Gameplay trailer also added.

SUPER WANT

crowdsourceinspiration:

Princess Peach wrote a song for Mario! After decades of sheepishly acting on her love, the perennial damsel in distress is finally telling Mario how it is. Mario fans will appreciate the lyrical references (some of which are obscure) to the many games in the Mario franchise. This is some of my happiest work ever, and I hope it makes you listeners smile. I dedicate this song to these awesome blogs with Peach/Mario/Nintendo content: themushroomprincess, peachtoadstool, thenobleredplumber, suppermariobroth, game-portal, smashbrotherhood, n64wasmychildhood, dotcore, and nintendard.

Free downloads of this song are here, and you can stream it on YouTube here. — Kavalier Calm

      Under Peach’s Umbrella

I do all I can to impress you.
I race karts and win the Grand Prix.
I formed the Peach Hit Five,
so you could hear me sing.
I’ve been to all nine of your parties,
and I know how to lace up a pair of cleats.
I play every sport
hoping you’re on my team.

I just want you under my umbrella,
I just want you under here with me.
I just want you under my umbrella,
so I can kiss you on the cheek.

You’ve saved me from the Koopa Troop
more times than I can count.
You’re my hero,
there is no doubt.
You’ve been across the galaxy and back,
and you’ve been stretched paper thin.
I send 1-up love letters
to help you win.
CHORUS

I know how to float and fight in a brawl;
A melee is nothing Toad and I can’t handle.
But I let that lizard Bowser lay his hands on me
‘cause it’s the only way you’ll see my need.
Well, I’m tired of playing coy—
listen to me, boy:
don’t wait ‘til I’m kidnapped
to rescue me!
CHORUS

aww.
