'''''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''''' is a side-scrolling {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on January 11, 2019. It is a [[Reissue#Ports|port]] of the 2012 [[Wii U]] launch title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', containing both the original base game and its ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' DLC. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad, Blue Toad]] (both generically named Toad in this game), and [[Nabbit]] (now also playable outside of ''New Super Luigi U'') all return as playable characters, in addition to a new playable character, [[Toadette]], who replaces Blue Toad in cutscenes. She has a unique form known as [[Peachette]], which she obtains using a new power-up called the [[Super Crown]], granting her abilities similar but not identical to those of the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]].

In 2020, it was recognized as the the twenty-first entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series.<ref>スーパーマリオブラザーズ35周年. "[https://twitter.com/supermario35th/status/1301648749907902464 1985-2020年「{{lang|ja|今}}日の思い出マリオ」と題して、本日から少しずつ35年間のマリオタイトルを振り返っていきます。ハッシュタグの #思い出マリオ が目印です。どうぞお楽しみに。]" (Japanese text). ''[https://twitter.com/home Twitter]''. Published 03 Sept 2020. Accessed 13 Apr 2023.</ref> As of 2024, it is recognized as the twenty-second on Mario Portal.<ref>{{cite|author=[[Nintendo|Nintendo Co., Ltd]]|title=HISTORY → Series → ''Super Mario''|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/index.html|publisher=Mario Portal|accessdate=6 Nov. 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20241003115239/https://www.nintendo.com/jp/character/mario/en/history/index.html}}</ref>

==Differences from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U''==
===General===
*''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' is included in the base game, not requiring a separate purchase like in the Wii U version.
*In single-player in the main mode, the player can now play as Mario, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, or Nabbit in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', rather than only Mario, and can play as the same characters except Mario in ''New Super Luigi U'', rather than only Luigi or Nabbit.
*The game has a higher resolution, being displayed in native 1080p in TV mode, and 720p in Handheld and Tabletop modes, as opposed to the 720p resolution of the Wii U version.
*[[Miiverse]] compatibility is removed, as the service ended prior to the game's release and is not available for the Nintendo Switch.
*[[Boost Mode]] and its corresponding challenges are removed due to Boost Mode being incompatible with the Nintendo Switch controls.
*The game uses HD rumble, unlike the original game which uses simple rumble.
*The game now has translations in Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese.

===Character-specific===
*[[Toadette]] is added as a playable character, making her first appearance in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series.
**The [[Super Crown]] is added as a new power-up exclusively for Toadette. Toadette becomes Peachette after touching the Super Crown, which allows her to float and double jump, similar to the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]] (but with more versatile aerial movement). Peachette also bounces away from [[pit]]s and other fatal objects upon falling into them (but can only do so once before touching the ground again). However, unlike the Flying Squirrel form, she cannot cling on to walls and she will not descend significantly when turning. Other characters besides Toadette cannot pick up the Super Crown, merely passing through it to no effect.
**When playing as Toadette, all [[Block]]s containing [[1-Up Mushroom]]s instead contain [[3-Up Moon]]s. Only Toadette can hit blocks to reveal them in multiplayer.
*Nabbit has been revamped to be consistent with Toadette.
**Nabbit can now be played as within the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' levels.
**Nabbit has new voice clips that are similar to the Toads.
**Nabbit can bounce off [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s since he cannot ride them, unlike the original game where he simply goes through them.
**Nabbit can now carry objects.
**Nabbit will pass through and not be affected by enemies, much like when he is running away in chases.
*Toadette and Nabbit have altered abilities compared to the rest of the cast.
**Both the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' levels start with 100 additional seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] when playing as either Toadette or Nabbit, though no bigger time bonus is given when both of them are being used in multiplayer.
**Toadette and Nabbit have [[swim]]ming properties like that of [[Penguin Mario]], no matter what form they have.
**Toadette and Nabbit are less slippery than Mario, Luigi, and Toad. Even while running, they will stop sooner and are thus less likely to fall into pits. They are also resistant to slipping on ice.
***As a result, Toadette and Nabbit are not playable in Challenge Mode.
*Yellow Toad and Blue Toad share a character slot, and are both referred to as simply "Toad". When selecting Toad, the player will use Yellow Toad by default, but can select Blue Toad instead by holding {{button|switch|L}} while selecting.
**Due to this, it is no longer possible for two players to choose Yellow Toad and Blue Toad simultaneously in multiplayer.
*When playing as Luigi in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', the [[Super Guide Block]] is colored red rather than green and summons a computer-controlled Mario to clear the level rather than Luigi.
*Playing as a [[Mii]] is no longer possible in [[Flying Squirrel Ovation]] in ''New Super Luigi U''.

===Gameplay===
*The [[jump]] controls are now shared with the mid-air spin, performed by pressing {{button|switch|B}} or {{button|switch|A}} in mid-air. Players can still spin with the {{button|switch|L}} and {{button|switch|R}} buttons, however.
**The player can disable the mid-air spin for {{button|switch|B}} or {{button|switch|A}} by holding the {{button|switch|leftstick}} down for three seconds on the title screen while pressing the {{button|switch|L}} and {{button|switch|R}} buttons at the same time. When Nabbit's voice is heard, the jump controls have been disabled for the mid-air spin. However, this has to be done each time the game starts up.
*Pressing {{button|switch|ZL}} no longer lets the player play as Nabbit in ''New Super Luigi U''; this is instead done through the menu.
*Two buttons are now used to go in the [[bubble]] during multiplayer by holding down {{button|switch|L}} and {{button|switch|R}} rather than one button, unlike the original Wii U game.
*In the red Toad Houses with [[? Block]]s, Toad gives the player all of the items inside the blocks that were hit, instead of just one.
*In the pause menu during levels, the controls for the {{button|switch|B}} and {{button|switch|X}} buttons can be reversed; however, nothing else can be remapped.
*On the pause screen, characters can be changed on the map screen.
*A neon [[Nintendo Switch]] console appears in the [[Toad House#Records Toad House|Records Toad House]], which plays a music box rendition of the game's credits theme while the credits roll.
*The Records Toad House pages now resemble a map marked with a red stamp depicting a silhouette of Nabbit's ears. "Records" is now renamed to "Mario U Records" and "Luigi U Records" in the American English version, depending on the game being played. As Boost Mode has been removed, the records for "Distance on Boost Blocks" and "Distance on Mini Boost Blocks" have been replaced with "Times Companion Lifted" and "Synchronize Ground Pounds", respectively, along with updated icons.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', the red Toad Houses with the shuffle mini-games have some items changed. Several [[Super Star]]s have been replaced by Super Crowns, while in ''New Super Luigi U'', the 1-Up Mushrooms are now 3-Up Moons.
*Enemy Courses now have a chance to hold a Super Crown, a [[Propeller Mushroom]], or a Penguin Suit, making the last two more common.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', the stars on the player's profile will remain shiny, even if the player activated the Super Guide before.

===Cutscenes===
*In both the ending and the cutscene where Peach is being rescued, Nabbit always appears in the background, regardless of what character(s) was/were used in the final boss battle.
*Blue Toad is absent from the introduction and ending cutscenes, with Toadette appearing instead. Yellow Toad is the one who watches [[Bowser]]'s and the [[Koopalings]]' escape in the ending (Blue Toad does this in the original versions).
*Before fighting [[Bowser]]'s final phase as Peachette, Peach notices Peachette from her tower and looks confused just before the window slams shut.

===UI and artwork===
*The buttons for Challenges, [[Boost Rush]], and [[Coin Battle]] on the main menu have artwork of Mario thinking, Mario running, and a [[Star Coin]], respectively, replacing the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' sprites seen on the buttons in the original ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
*Character selection icons now use their updated artwork. Toadette and Nabbit are also labeled as "Easier" and "Easiest" ("Easy" and "Very Easy" in the British English version) respectively.
*The title screen uses the same ground as the ''New Super Luigi U'' title screen with Nabbit included.
*The loading screen's background uses different 2D icons.
*Save files now show the last played character.
*The challenges menu has been redesigned.
*There is now a hint button on the menu.
*When entering a world, the name of the map has a different banner design, with 2D artwork of blocks in outlines.
*In this game's version of ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', the button tabs on the map are red instead of blue. This game's versions of both ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' use button icons of the Switch controllers. Additionally, the player can also use {{button|switch|minus}} to open the menu.
*The Super Guide menu has been redesigned.
*Nabbit's icon marker on the map for chasing him has been updated.
*In the [[Baby Yoshi]] minigame for the Power-Up [[Toad House]], the [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s' Toad icon has been updated to resemble [[Toad]]'s 2D artwork from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', but with red spots.
*When playing as Nabbit in single player, completed level spaces turn purple instead of blue. If the level is completed again with a character other than Nabbit, the space changes from purple to blue.
*The movement instruction icons when using motion-controlled platforms have Joy-Con/Pro Controllers instead of Wii Remotes.
*The [[Game Over]] and "Continues Used" screens are flatter and overall less detailed.

===Audio===
*The audio quality of the music has been increased; all tracks now have a sample rate of 48 kHz instead of 32 kHz.
*In the second half of the athletic theme, the melody instrument is now stereo instead of mono.
*[[Bony Beetle]]s now have sound effects when they stick out or retract their spikes.
*[[Boom Boom]] and [[Boss Sumo Bro]]'s voices sound slightly different.
*The [[Super Guide Block]]'s bell sounds different.
*The [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s, fired from [[Roy|Roy Koopa]]'s cannon, have different beeping sounds.
*[[Nabbit]]'s voice clips are different compared to the original.

==Promotion==

==Critical reception==
Similarly to the original ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'' has received generally positive reviews from critics.

|''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe isn't without its faults. I really think that the levels needed to be longer or provide a bit more of a challenge for seasoned players as opposed to watering things down for a younger audience who probably could've handled a regular challenge in the first place. I can't help but feel like so much of this game was spoon fed to me. I definitely finished this a heck of a lot quicker than I had any previous Mario games. Maybe it's because I grew up having my mind blown by [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] and [[Super Mario World]], but side-scrolling Mario games have always had a place in my heart. While I wouldn't put this latest entry on the same pedestal, this is still a very solid game with a lot of what we've all come to love about the series thrown into a melting pot. I don't think Nintendo would ever put out a "bad" Mario, honestly. There's plenty here to keep fans and next of kin busy and entertained for quite some time.''

|''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a broadly approachable and feature-rich platforming game. Toadette is a welcome addition to the roster for those after a more forgiving way to tackle some of the more challenging levels, and the inclusion of the New Super Luigi U mode extends its lifespan substantially. While there are a number of other Nintendo Switch games within the genre that outdo New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe in various different ways, it nonetheless remains a highly enjoyable platforming package as a whole.''

|''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is an impressive package if you skipped the original, offering the best of modern-era 2D Mario, madcap multiplayer and glimpses of the outrageous invention that was to come in [[Super Mario Odyssey]]. Only the most fervent fans will find enough new content here to justify double-dipping, though, especially if you already played the Luigi expansion. The chance to replay a top-drawer Mario game on a handheld may be enough for some – goodness knows we've rebought Super Mario Bros. 3 enough times! – but this is the oldest of the Wii U games to have found new life on Switch and, gameplay aside, ageing visuals and the colossal irritation of being kicked back to the world map after every death stand out as things in need of attention. The bottom line is that Switch now has a very fine 2D Mario to its name; we just can't help feeling disappointed that Nintendo didn't push the boat out with a more thorough 'Deluxe' refurbishment. Having said that, this is still an excellent package that deserves a new lease of life on Switch, especially as there will be many owners of that console who didn't get to experience the Wii U original and its expansion.''

|''Despite its aging formula, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is still a great entry in the series, with its typically tight platforming and both accessibility and depth to spare. While it can feel a bit stale for those who have been round the Mushroom Kingdom one too many times before, Deluxe is well worth playing, especially if you didn't get a chance to play NSMBU on Wii U.''
