New Ways to Play and Share Your Mario Fun
New Super Mario Bros. U is a new, side-scrolling adventure featuring Mario, Luigi, Toad … and your Mii character. Now's your chance to step inside the Mushroom Kingdom and explore new worlds, new power-ups and new ways to play. Up to five players* can jump into the fun, with up to four people using Wii Remote controllers and one on the Wii U GamePad. The experience is different, depending on which controller is used.
- The Wii U GamePad controller offers a new way to experience multiplayer Mario fun. Create Boost Blocks out of thin air to help players navigate tricky stages or access hidden orhard-to-reach items, and distract onscreen enemies, all with the tap of their finger or stylus.
- Swoop through levels and cling to walls when Mario transforms into Flying Squirrel Mario, or gently float through the air while hanging onto Balloon Baby Yoshi.
- Boost Mode also makes cooperative speed runs possible for the first time. Use the GamePad to interact with and manipulate enemies and objects in real time, and discover new ways to find the fastest route through each stage.
- In addition to the main Story Mode, in which players must rescue Princess Peach, New Super Mario Bros. U features three more exciting game modes, including:
◦ Boost Rush: Using Boost Mode, two to five players work together to clear many different courses in the fastest time possible. The scene auto scrolls, forcing you to move ahead through the course. As you collect more coins, the scene scrolls faster. Once you’ve completed your run, you can watch a replay of other players’ Boost Rush to help strategize for your next attempt.
◦ Challenge Mode: Numerous single-player and multiplayer challenges incorporate a series of familiar Super Mario gameplay concepts in a fun, competitive way. These challenges offer high replay value as players try to achieve the best score and unlock new challenges. Boost Mode Challenges help players practice the teamwork necessary for effective Boost Mode gameplay. After finishing, players can watch a replay of their Challenge to strategize for next time.
- Play on the big screen or the small screen. Switch single-player gameplay from the TV to the GamePad at any time to continue playing even when others are using the TV.
- Families and friends can experience Mario together like never before with Miiverse. See other players’ comments and accomplishments while you play, and leave your own feedback for others to see when connected to the Nintendo Network (broadband Internet access required).
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 and stun enemies 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. The player may also receive a prompt to post after clearing a stage.
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.

Main article: New Super Luigi U |
In 2013, an expansion pack titled New Super Luigi U was released to commemorate the Year of Luigi, a celebration of Luigi's introduction 30 years ago in Mario Bros. 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 Luigi U was originally released on June 19, 2013 in Japan, June 20 in North America and Europe, and June 21 in Australia. It requires 731.4 MB of space to be able to download and install. The game was later released as a standalone title exclusively for the Year of Luigi, on July 13, 2013 in Japan, July 26 in Europe, July 27 in Australia, and August 25 in North America.
