For New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, if you have one of the SNES controllers (or something similar), that may help. I found it played a bit better than the Pro controller, for some reason. Probably my muscle memory from playing so much SNES back in the day! I thought New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was really difficult to get through even though I played through and conquered the other Marios.
Everyone gets to see the REAL reason he’s called “The Beard.”
