'''''New Super Luigi U''''' (styled as '''''New Super Luigi <s>Bros.</s> U''''') is an expansion pack to the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', released as part of [[The Year of Luigi]]. It features [[Luigi]] as player one, with [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and, notably, [[Nabbit]] (who replaces [[Mario]] from the original game) playable in multiplayer mode.<ref name="Nintendo Direct"></ref> Features like [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]] and [[Boost Rush]] are not available.

The title was released for the [[Wii U#Nintendo eShop|Wii U eShop]], and can be purchased by accessing it via an Internet connection (a copy of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' is required to download). Once downloaded, the player must select the icon on the top left corner of the file select screen to play. Wii U Pro Controller support is also included in both games in addition to Wii Remote and the Gamepad controls in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. This game will also be released at retail as a standalone game which will not require ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' in order to be playable.

The gameplay is largely similar to its base game, except that the playable characters retain Luigi's higher jump and lower traction from ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. The game itself is also made harder, and every course starts at one-hundred seconds. Elements like [[Item]]s, [[Power-Up]]s, [[Star Coin]]s, [[Toad House]]s, [[Enemy Course]]s, and bosses are retained.

The world map itself is unchanged from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and level designs have had a drastic makeover, making them much harder. As mentioned above, playable characters and their abilities have changed. The timer for each level is also set to start from 100 seconds and the 100-seconds time bonus are added to the timer after going to the boss door in the [[tower]]s and [[castle]]s. Items in red Toad Houses may vary as well. For example, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] is in place of a [[Super Mushroom]]. Similarly, [[Enemy Course]]s have random power-ups such as [[Mini Mushroom]]s and [[Propeller Mushroom]]s as opposed to only [[Star]]s. There are no [[Checkpoint Flag]]s. Also, many elements of the game are colored green to emphasize Luigi.

After the game is completed, the [[Mario Block]] appears at the beginning of levels. This allows the player to switch to the original game's physics, with lower jumps and better traction. Nabbit will not get effected by the block. [[Nabbit]] is also playable in single player mode if the player holds down {{button|wii|CCZL}} on the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}}/[[File:WiiU_COntroller_Pro_White.png|18px|link=Wii U#Pro Controller]] or {{button|wii|B}} on the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} while selecting a level. The player's [[Mii]] can also be used if the same trick is done on the [[Flying Squirrel Ovation]] level in [[Superstar Road#New Super Luigi U|Superstar Road]].
