'''''New Super Luigi U''''' (stylized as '''''New Super Luigi <s>Bros.</s> U''''') is an expansion game for ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', released as part of the [[Year of Luigi]], celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of Luigi's initial debut. It features [[Luigi]] as the main player, with [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]], and notably, [[Nabbit]] (who replaces [[Mario]] from the original game) playable in multiplayer mode.<ref name="Nintendo Direct"></ref> Although it refers to him, the game does not feature Mario himself at all.

The title was first released on the [[Nintendo eShop]] on [[Wii U]] for region price as downloadable content for ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; the game must be updated to version 1.3.0 before ''New Super Luigi U'' can be accessed in-game, and requires 731.4 MB of memory to be installed. Once downloaded, the prompt to access the Nintendo eShop to download the expansion is replaced with a prompt to go to the main menu for ''New Super Luigi U''. Support for the Wii U Pro Controller is also included in addition to {{button|wii|Wiimote}} and the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} controls in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. The game was later released at retail as a standalone game for region price, not requiring ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' to play. Both games were later released in a compilation known as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U]]'', initially included exclusively in the Mario & Luigi Wii U Deluxe Set bundle, but later released as a standalone [[Nintendo Selects]] disc at a price cheaper than either game individually (the precise price is dependent on the region). This game was also included in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The DLC was later removed from the Wii U eShop due to its discontinuation on March 27, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase it. However, players who purchased the DLC before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device.

==Gameplay==

[[File:NSMBU and NSLU Physics Comparison.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Comparison of the jump physics in both games.]]

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 has been designed to be more difficult, with each stage starting at only 100 seconds; due to this, however, the courses have also been made shorter than normal while also being packed with enemies and obstacles. While the levels have all been altered from the base game, the world map itself has not been. Elements like [[List of items|item]]s, [[List of power-ups|power-up]]s, [[Star Coin]]s, [[Toad House]]s, [[Enemy Course]]s, and bosses are retained as such.

Players can earn power-ups from Toad depending on the time left upon completion of the level. At 088, a [[Super Star]] is given; at 077, a [[Super Acorn]]; at 066, a [[Mini Mushroom]]; 055, an [[Ice Flower]]; 044, a [[Fire Flower]]; and 033, 022, and 011 a [[1-Up Mushroom]].
