Super Mario Moose (Super Mario Mousse in Japan, Super Mario Gamer in PAL regions) is a Mario game for the Gamer. It is a 3D and 2D platformer game and it has a brand new power-up, the Moose Mushroom. It is the eighth 3D Mario game overall. It is produced by Gigabyte Gaming. It comes with the Gamer.
Story
Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and Peach (if you play online, Wario, Waluigi, Yellow Koopa and Yellow Paratroopa are now added) are walking through Moose Meadows when they hear a roar. Bowser falls from the sky, capturing all the moose and Princess Peach herself. Bowser then hops on to his airship and flys to his castle. Mario runs after him, and the others run with him.
In Moose Meadows, Mario and Yellow Toad discover that the Moose Fortress has been destroyed by the canon 7 Koopalings. The Moose Fortress is changed to Dark Bowser's Fortress, and every world has been changed into Dark Worlds, using Dark Bowser's new invention called "Dark Blast Changer": a rocket-shaped invention with three laser blasters and two blue buttons that stop or start. A turquoise moon appears above the sky. It means that Dark Bowser attacked.
Gameplay
Super Mario Moose is a 3D platformer, similar to Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World. Like past games, Super Mario Moose has an open world (though with a obvious path), a Goal Pole, and a time limit. Star Coins are in the game, with four being in every level. These can be used to unlock levels in the two secret worlds and Dark Worlds.
Many power-ups return to this game, including the Fire Flower and the Double Cherry from Super Mario 3D World.
Super Mario Moose allows up to four players to play offline or eight to play online at once, using Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Yellow Koopa and Yellow Paratroopa as playable characters. If someone wants to join or drop out, they just need to go to the menu and drop out or join. Like past games, players can enter bubbles and pick up other players. Unlike Super Mario 3D World, each player has a separate amount of lives.
Worlds
Super Mario Moose has 9 main worlds, along with two bonus worlds. Each of the main worlds have six levels, with five regular levels and one fortress. The bonus worlds have seven levels, with five regular levels and a castle and a fortress. Toad Houses reappear in the game, and Enemy Blockades return from Super Mario 3D World. When the player collects all four Star Coins in a level, a bar at the top of the screen will show the 4 coins for the level.
