Editing New Super Luigi U

The multiplayer of ''New Super Luigi U'' is also retained from ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. However, because Mario is not featured in this game, [[Nabbit]] is instead used as the fourth playable character. As Nabbit, the player cannot take damage from enemies, but cannot use most power-ups, Yoshis, or hold items. Any power-ups Nabbit collects but cannot use are converted to [[Extra life|1-Up]]s at the end of each stage. Only eight 1-Ups can be earned per course through this method.<ref name="NabbitManual">{{cite|title=''New Super Luigi U'' Wii U electronic manual|language=en-us|format=PDF|date=2013|page=12|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=March 7th, 2025|url=https://csassets.nintendo.com/noaext/image/private/t_KA_PDF/manual-WiiU-New_Super_Luigi_U?_a=DATC1RAAZAA0}}</ref>

The world map itself is unchanged from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', but the levels have received a drastic makeover. As mentioned above, playable characters and their abilities have changed. The [[Time Limit|timer]] for each level is also set to start from 100 seconds and a 100-seconds time bonus is added to the timer after going to the boss door in the [[tower]]s and [[castle]]s (150 seconds in [[All Aboard!]] and 250 seconds in [[The Final Battle (New Super Luigi U)|The Final Battle]]). Items in [[Toad House|Red Toad House]]s may vary as well. For example, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] is in place of a [[Super Mushroom]]. Similarly, [[Enemy Course]]s contain only [[Mini Mushroom]]s and [[Propeller Mushroom]]s, as opposed to only [[Super Star]]s. Some enemies such as [[Grrrol]]s and [[Sumo Bro]]s. may appear earlier than their equivalent levels in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', while some others such as [[Rocky Wrench]]es and [[Amp]]s are completely absent from the game. There are no [[Checkpoint Flag]]s in any of this game's levels. Many elements of the game are colored green to emphasize Luigi, and all of the levels have a [[List of Luigi sightings in New Super Luigi U|hidden Luigi]] in a wall or platform ([[Flying Squirrel Ovation]] has two).

|[[File:NSMBU Luigi Jumping Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Luigi]]

|The game's protagonist. Luigi is flung from [[Peach's Castle]] by [[Bowser]] when sieges the castle. Unlike ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Luigi [[scuttle]]s his legs when he jumps and has poor traction on the ground, similar to his appearance in some prior games. Unlike the prior game, [[Mario|his brother]] is not in this game.

|[[File:NSMBU Artwork Yellow Toad and Blue Toad.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad]]

|These Toads were having tea at Peach's Castle with Luigi when they were tossed. They have all the same moves and physiques as Luigi, and are only available to play as in multiplayer.

|[[File:NabbitNSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Nabbit]]

|A masked [[rabbit]]-like thief. When the player is controlling Luigi in Story Mode, Nabbit appears in certain levels with stolen items and they are given to him when caught. If the player presses {{button|wii|CCZL}} on a [[Wii U]] controller or {{button|wii|B}} on a [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] while selecting a level, they play as Nabbit instead. In multiplayer, he is one of the four playable characters. Unlike Luigi and the Toads, he cannot use most power-ups, ride Yoshi, carry items, and carry other players. Further, other players cannot carry Nabbit. However, Nabbit is nearly invincible. He can walk through enemies and across spikes, though he receives knockback when he makes contact with tough enemies or bosses. He loses a life only when he falls down [[pit]]s or environmental hazards like [[lava]]. He can use [[Super Star]]s. Up to eight non-Super Star power-ups he collects become 1-Ups at the end of each course.<ref name="NabbitManual"/>

|[[File:NSMBU Artwork Mii (Green).png|100x100px]]<br>[[Mii]]

|If the player attempts to play as Nabbit in Story Mode while selecting [[Flying Squirrel Ovation]], they appear as a green-clad Mii instead. This is likely because the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]] is required to complete this level, which is unavailable to Nabbit.

|[[File:Yoshi FS.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Yoshi]]

|A dinosaur-like creature with a long tongue that can be ridden. Yoshi has a meter that tracks how many [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]] he eats. Eating five makes him lay an egg containing an item. Unlike Baby Balloon Yoshis and Baby Bubble Yoshis, Yoshi cannot be taken to other levels, instead waving goodbye to the player character once they reach the [[Goal Pole]]. In multiplayer, the number of Yoshis that appear in a level equals the number of player characters.

|[[File:NSMBU Balloon Baby Yoshi Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s

|Magenta Baby Yoshis that expand like balloons and gently float in the air. Up to four player characters can grab onto one Balloon Baby Yoshi, by grabbing their legs. This slows the player down though.

|Blue Baby Yoshis that blow bubbles from their mouths. Enemies caught in these bubbles will turn into three [[coin]]s, a power-up, or a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. These bubbles can also be used as small platforms.

|[[File:GlowbabyyoshiNSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s

|Yellow Baby Yoshis that light up dark areas and can stun enemies with their light attack. Unlike the other two Baby Yoshis, Glowing Baby Yoshis are not found on the world map and are found only in levels. Instead of following the characters throughout the courses, they give an [[extra life]] when reach the end of the level that they appear in.

|[[File:NSMBU Red Toad Render.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Toad (species)|Toads]]

|Toads appear throughout the game in Toad Houses, at the end of the level when the player catches Nabbit, and past the end-of-level castles to give Luigi a power-up if they complete a stage with the last two digits of the [[Time Limit]] being the same.

!colspan=4 style="background:#D3EB9D;--darkbg:#224400"|Tower bosses

|[[File:Boom Boom NSMBU Model.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Boom Boom]]

|The tower boss from [[Acorn Plains]] to [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. He does not change in the first battle, especially in Acorn Plains. However, following his first defeat, the |Magikoopa gives him special abilities. In [[Layer-Cake Desert]], the Magikoopa will grant him the ability to spin jump. In [[Sparkling Waters]] and [[Frosted Glacier]], the Magikoopa grants him the ability to jump, similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In [[Soda Jungle]], the Magikoopa will make him larger. In Rock-Candy Mines, the Magikoopa transforms his arms into wings, similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

|[[File:NSMBU Boss Sumo Bro Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Boss Sumo Bro]]

|Boss Sumo Bro was a regular [[Sumo Bro]] until the Magikoopa made him grow in size. He is normally immune to attacks from the top due to the spike on his head, but he will jump between platforms which the player can hit from the bottom. Knocking him off a platform makes him vulnerable to jump attacks.

|[[File:NSMBW Kamek Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Kamek|Magikoopa]]

|The Magikoopa teleports most of the time when Luigi gets too close. However, when he stops to attack Luigi, he is left vulnerable to [[stomp]]s. He also casts spells on Boom Boom, Boss Sumo Bro, and Bowser granting them extra power before their battles, such as causing them to grow in size.

!colspan=4 style="background:#D3EB9D;--darkbg:#224400"|The Koopalings

|[[File:Lemmy Koopa NSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Lemmy]]

|Lemmy Koopa is fought in Acorn Plains and attempts to throw [[bomb]]s at Luigi.

|[[File:MortonNSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Morton]]

|Morton Koopa Jr. is fought in Layer-Cake Desert and uses a large hammer that is apparently filled with magic to knock [[Big Pokey]] segments in the player's way after shaking the ground by stomping on it. He can knock Pokey segments straight at the player or knock them in high arcs.

|[[File:NSMBU Larry Koopa Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Larry]]

|Larry Koopa is fought on in Sparkling Waters and blasts [[spell]]s and use water blasts from the pool below the arena. When Larry is spinning in his shell, the water geysers give his shell a boost upwards, making it a bit tricky to avoid. After two stomps, Larry begins to cast two spells in quick succession.

|[[File:NSMBU Wendy Koopa Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Wendy]]

|Wendy O. Koopa is fought in Frosted Glacier and skates around the arena, shooting out two energy rings that ricochet off of walls and can knock down the [[Icicle]]s on the ceiling of the airship. She also spin jumps from walls. After she is jumped on twice, she will shoot out three rings instead.

|[[File:NSMBU Iggy Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Iggy]]

|Iggy Koopa is fought in Soda Jungle and uses the four [[Warp Pipe]]s to run around the room and on the ceiling to make it trickier for the player to stomp on him as he uses his Magic Wand to shoot three spells, with some being his usual green flame, and the other being red skeleton orbs that generate [[Magmaargh]]s when they land in the lava below. When Iggy is stomped on, he will dash around the room in his shell using the pipes on the walls, which will switch him to the other side of the room. Unlike the other Koopalings where they spin in their shells and change directions at the edges or walls of the room, Iggy can actually change directions anywhere around the room during his duration in his shell.

|[[File:NSMBU Roy Artwork.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Roy]]

|Roy Koopa is fought in Rock-Candy Mines and shoots [[Bullet Bill]]s with his cannon and jump between platforms that move around during the fight. Occasionally, he shoots [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s. He can also jump high in the air and ground pound the floor or platform, which makes him fire Bullet Bills on both sides of his blaster. The ground pound can also make the floating platforms appear after he comes out of his shell.

|[[File:LudwigNSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Ludwig]]

|Ludwig von Koopa is fought in Meringue Clouds and levitates in the air while making two clones of himself, and all three Ludwigs will blast spells at Luigi before dropping onto the ground. If one of the clones is jumped on, it will simply disappear. There are four ways to find out which is the real one. The one that is the real one fires three spells, while the clones fire two. The clones keep their eyes half-open, and tend to assume the real Ludwig's pre-battle idle pose while not levitating. The real Ludwig will also drop to the ground last, after the clones, as well as laugh while dropping. Finally, Luigi always looks at the real Ludwig if he can see him directly, just as he does with the other bosses. When the fight starts off, after shooting their spells, the clones disappear before landing. After the first stomp, the clones do not disappear. After the second stomp, not only do all three Ludwigs shoot faster, but swap positions, though the real Ludwig still shoots three spells.

|[[File:Bowserjr NSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Bowser Jr.]]

|Bowser Jr. is fought on [[airship]]s. In Soda Jungle, Bowser Jr. uses his [[Junior Clown Car]] as a submarine, in which the player character must guide the Targeting Teds that Bowser Jr. shoots into his submarine. With every hit, he summons three Torpedo Teds from the left and right or from the ceiling and the floor. In Meringue Clouds, Bowser Jr.'s boss battle involves him in his Clown Car equipped with boxing gloves, which he uses to destroy the blocks the player is standing on. Bowser Jr. periodically throws Bob-ombs, which the player can use against him. However, in [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]], he cannot be defeated.

|[[File:BowserNSMBU.png|100x100px]]<br>[[Bowser]]

|Bowser is fought inside |Peach's Castle. The first part of his battle is similar to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where the player has to get to the other side and press the switch; alternatively, shooting several spellsalso works. This causes the axe to fall and make the bridge collapse, making Bowser fall. The gate then opens and Luigi moves on. When Luigi reaches the top of the castle, Peach is being held up in the tower. After this, Bowser Jr. shows up in his Junior Clown Car, and Bowser hops on top of the castle while he is huge. Bowser Jr. also fights the player. In order to defeat them, the player must jump on Bowser Jr., causing him to fall out of his Junior Clown Car. This allows the player to jump in and hover over Bowser to harm him. Like the Koopalings, he curls into his shell and spins around when hit. He is defeated after being hit three times by the Clown Car.
