Question 1

is this game enjoyable as a single player or does it need multiple players to be fun?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried it as single player but it is an option. I believe it would be fine as single player. Some of my partners were so lame I might as well have been playing alone.

Question 2

Can amiibos be used with this game?

Accepted Answer

Nope, when this game came out, Amiibo weren’t a thing yet

Question 3

Does this use the classic controller?

Accepted Answer

No you can't use the classic controller with this. But you can with Mario Kart 8.

Question 4

If I didn't like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, is this game different enough that I might like it?

Accepted Answer

In all honesty I would have to say no. The gameplay, the music, the sounds, and the characters are all the same from New Super Mario Bros. Wii; however, there are some notable differences. Keep in mind however that these are not exactly elements which make this game better than its predecessor. The stages and worlds you find yourself in are much more creative, and this is something that reviewers across the board have noticed. Secondly, the large amount of power-ups from the previous entry are given up in favor of the more interesting Squirrel Power. Think of it sort of how the notion of power-ups changed from Super Mario Bros. 3 to Super Mario World. Third, the game is in HD (I think it is 720P, but take that with a grain of salt). Finally, there is the functionality of the Gamepad. It really creates two things that are unique to this game: five people can now play simultaneously (four with controllers, one with the gamepad) and the Gamepad has interesting mechanics which can aid the player. All this being said, the key difference lies in whether or not you are going to go solo or multiplayer. If you go multiplayer, the Gamepads functionality really is highlighted, but when playing solo, the Gamepad is basically just a big remote (you can also play with the Pro-controller or the Wii-Remote). I hope this helps. If you have not already, buy Rayman Legends as it is a much superior 2-D platformer, or Super Mario 3D World, as it is an extraordinary game (winner of numerous Game of the Year 2013 awards and nominations).
