Extremely relieved Mario fans have discovered a means of disabling the new, frequently infuriating, mid-air spin-jump feature implemented as part of Nintendo’s recently released New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe on Switch.
When New Super Mario Bros U originally launched on Wii U back in 2012, Mario’s spin-jump move, used to to smash through enemies, initiate drifts while wearing the Flying Squirrel suit and more, could be triggered by shaking the controller or tapping the shoulder button. Either way, there was little danger of the jump being inadvertently performed during play.
However, when New Super Mario Bros U made its way to Switch in its Deluxe guise at the start of this year, Nintendo introduced a third means of triggering Mario’s spin-jump that hasn’t been especially well received. On Switch, the move can be performed by pressing the jump button while in the air – which sounds reasonable in principle, but has been the cause of immense frustration for some players. Loud, exasperated noises to follow:
