New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U

New Super Mario Bros. U Once purchased, New Super Luigi U is selectable from the New Super Mario Bros. U (NSMBU) main menu. The main storyline is nearly identical to that of NSMBU, with the omission of Mario. The player controls Luigi with the goal of traversing each level from left to right to reach the end, identified with a flag pole. Throughout the levels are various enemies and hazards to hinder progression. Levels also contain power-ups that give Luigi new abilities when collected; for example, the Fire Flower allows Luigi to throw fireballs and the Flying Squirrel Suit allows Luigi to glide midair. Each level contains three "Star Coins" that serve as collectible items. Levels are split up into eight "worlds", and encounters with one of eight Koopalings occur within them. The levels are selected on an overworld map with branching paths. Compared to NSMBU, levels are redesigned to be more difficult and do not contain checkpoints, but are considerably shorter in length. The player has one hundred seconds to complete each level. Using the Wii U GamePad, the player can use its touchscreen to place down temporary platforms to stand on at their discretion.

Although retaining the same control scheme as Mario, Luigi himself has less friction and slides easier, and also jumps higher and moves slower midair. Once the game is completed the player has the option to turn these physics changes off. Replacing Mario is Nabbit, originally a non-player character who appeared in NSMBU as an antagonist. Nabbit is invulnerable to enemy damage and steadily gains extra lives over time, but in return cannot use power-ups. Two other characters are also playable, yellow- and blue-colored Toads, who retain the same physics from NSMBU. Each character can be played by an individual player in up to four-person multiplayer.^[4][9]
