Mutant Mudds Deluxe Review

[Samus2008]

Mutant Mudds Deluxe for Wii U is an old school 2D side scrolling platformer, in the style of Mega Man. The story revolves around the main character, Max, in his quest to rid the world of the "Mudds", which are enemies made of mud. Gameplay-wise, you are tasked with collecting diamond gems throughout each level to unlock additional levels. Also throughout each level are doors that lead to bonus levels, including Virtual Boy-styled levels, and early PC-styled levels, in that each level is color coordinated to those platforms. Ex. Virtual Boy levels= red tinted levels. Your main weapon is a water gun that is used to dispose of the mud-based enemies. You also have a jetpack that, when you jump, you can hover for a brief period of time. Now that I'm thinking about it, doesn't this story remind you of Super Mario Sunshine? Upgrades includes increasing your guns' range of fire/damage, increases air time with your jetpack, and an upgrade to your jetpack that shoots you upwards to reach additional levels. The music is comprised of chip tunes, which goes great with the retro theme the game is going for. 
      
Mutant Mudds Deluxe is an excellent 2D side-scroller that you should definitely check out. It is available on Wii U for $9.99. It's also available on the Nintendo 3DS, minus the deluxe levels, which include the "granny levels", which are the hardest levels in the game. According to Renegade Kids, the "deluxe" update is coming to the 3DS soon!
