In 2013, an expansion pack titled ''New Super Luigi U'' was released to commemorate the [[Year of Luigi]] celebration. As the name implies, the expansion features Luigi as the star character rather than Mario (who is replaced with Nabbit, a new character introduced in the base game). While the base gameplay and world map remain the same, the stages have been replaced with brand new courses designed to be shorter but more difficult, and the time limit on every stage has been shortened to 100 seconds.

New Super Mario Bros. U is the fourth entry in the New Super Mario Bros. series of Super Mario franchise and a launch title for the Wii U. The game is based upon the New Super Mario Bros. Mii tech demo at E3 2011, meant to show off the system's Off-TV Play capabilities.

Nintendo eShop

The New Super Mario Bros.™ U game offers new ways to play with the Wii U GamePad controller in a side-scrolling Super Mario Bros game for up to five people* and with Miiverse™ connectivity.

Play through a new side-scrolling platform adventure as Mario™, Luigi™, Toad™ or even as your personal Mii™ character, swooping with the Flying Squirrel transformation or floating over enemies with the help of Balloon Baby Yoshi.

The GamePad offers new ways to play, letting a fifth player join the action; he or she can place Boost Blocks and manipulate enemies to assist or challenge the other players as they try to reach the end of the level and rescue Princess Peach™.

Additionally, a player can play directly on the GamePad in single-player mode, off-TV, while other people in the living room use the TV.

Story

Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, Yellow Toad and Princess Peach are having dinner together when Bowser and the Koopalings arrive in their airships, grabbing the heroes out of the castle and flinging them into the distance. The heroes must now travel back to Peach's Castle to reclaim it from Bowser and rescue Peach.

Gameplay

The game uses similar gameplay to previous 2D Super Mario games. The goal of each stage is to reach the Goal Pole within the given time limit, while jumping over obstacles and over or on enemies. The four-player simultaneous multiplayer featured in New Super Mario Bros. Wii returns here, allowing up to four players to play using a Wii Remote (or a Wii U Pro Controller in an update) though in this game a fifth player can use the Wii U GamePad to place blocks for the other players in what is known as Boost Mode; the GamePad can also be used when playing alone, for Off-TV Play. Other gameplay mechanics and items featured in New Super Mario Bros. Wii also return, though returning from Super Mario World are Baby Yoshis, of which there are three types, each with their own abilities.

Miiverse integration is featured in the form of being able to post to Miiverse at the end of a stage at points, as well as displaying posts when the player dies. Players can also post at any point on the World Map, which is where the Miiverse settings for this game can be configured.

New Super Mario Bros. U also features three additional modes: Challenge Mode, in which the player must complete specialized platforming challenges; Boost Rush, in which the player must play through a set of the game's stages in an auto-scrolling challenge that increases in speed as the player collects coins; and, also returning from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Coin Battle, in which players compete by attempting to collect the most coins in a stage.

In 2013, an expansion pack titled New Super Luigi U was released to commemorate the Year of Luigi celebration. As the name implies, the expansion features Luigi as the star character rather than Mario (who is replaced with Nabbit, a new character introduced in the base game). While the base gameplay and world map remain the same, the stages have been replaced with brand new courses designed to be shorter but more difficult, and the time limit on every stage has been shortened to 100 seconds.
