Outside the castle, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. are fleeing on the airship as Bowser, who has returned to his normal size, recovers. Noticing the escaping airship, he climbs up onto one of the castle towers and leaps onto the ship, but his weight causes it to plummet into a hill nearby; they then fly away hanging onto Bowser Jr.'s [[Junior Clown Car]] while Mario and Blue Toad watch. They then turn back to the others, who are celebrating their victory, with Mario delivering a final victory pose. | Outside the castle, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. are fleeing on the airship as Bowser, who has returned to his normal size, recovers.

''New Super Mario Bros. U'' is a platform game which plays very similarly to that of past ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games, especially ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', with the return of the 4-player multiplayer functioning identically to the [[Wii]] game, while most of the elements and design found in the game make heavy reference to ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Many other gameplay elements from the Wii game, such as the [[Super Guide]], [[Enemy Course]]s, and the bubble function, also return. In certain modes, players can play as their [[Mii]]s, including the first player, who can also choose whoever to play as. Power-ups, like the [[Fire Flower]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Penguin Suit]], [[Propeller Mushroom]], and the [[Mini Mushroom]] return.

''New Super Mario Bros. U'' features two main controller options: single player using the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]], and single-player or multiplayer using [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remotes]] and/or [[Wii U#Wii U Pro Controller|Wii U Pro Controllers]]; the player can switch controllers at any point between the GamePad and a Wii Remote or Pro Controller by pausing the game, either in a level or on the world map, and selecting the "Change Controller" option. The game supports up to five simultaneous players, with up to four being able to play as the characters with a Wii Remote or Wii U Pro Controller, and are able to drop in and out at any point while in a stage by pressing {{button|wiiu|Plus}} on the GamePad and selecting a character, or on the map by pausing and selecting "Number of Players". Another player is able to use the Wii U GamePad in what is known as [[Boost Mode]]. In Boost Mode, the GamePad player can assist the other players by placing blocks for them to stand on and stunning enemies. Boost Mode can be used at any point when playing with one of the other controllers; when playing with just the GamePad, it supports {{wp|Off-TV Play}}. | ''New Super Mario Bros.

After clearing Layer-Cake Desert-1, an enemy called [[Nabbit]] appears and steals an item from a [[Toad House]] connecting that level, heading back to Acorn Plains-1. When the player enters a stage with Nabbit, the objective is to race him to the goal, trying to catch him before he can get away. If the player succeeds in catching Nabbit, they are rewarded with a [[P-Acorn]]. Replacing the Toad saving in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', Nabbit only appears in one stage in the first seven worlds. | After clearing Layer-Cake Desert-1, an enemy called [[Nabbit]] appears and steals an item from a [[Toad House]] connecting that level, heading back to Acorn Plains-1.

[[File:NSMBU E3 Mushroom Heights Baby Yoshi.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Mario and Luigi using [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s to get over a [[Big Piranha Plant]].]] | |||
[[Yoshi (species)|Green Yoshi]]s make a return, acting like in ''New Super Mario Bros Wii''. Green is the only color available for Yoshis that the players ride on, unlike ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. [[Yoshi]] now has a meter that tracks how many fruits he eats, instead of showing a number each time he eats one. As usual, eating 5 makes him lay an egg containing an item. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', Yoshi cannot leave the courses that he appears in. | |||
''New Super Mario Bros. U'' also features the return of [[Baby Yoshi]]s, having been absent from the ''Super Mario'' series since their debut in ''Super Mario World''. The game features three differently-colored Baby Yoshis, each one with a special ability. They differ from the adult Green Yoshi in terms of gameplay. Being babies, they cannot be ridden, so characters must carry them throughout the levels. Baby Yoshis also instantly eat almost any enemy that is in front of them. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', however, Baby Yoshis no longer grow into adults after eating several enemies, instead remaining as babies. Two types of Baby Yoshis found on the overworld can be taken into any course, with the exception of [[Fortress]]es, [[Airship]]s, and [[Castle]]s. | |||
{{content description|sortable=yes | |||
|image1=[[File:NSMBU Blue Toad and Baby Yoshi Artwork.png|100px]] | |||
|name1=[[Bubble Baby Yoshi]] | |||
|description1=Blue Baby Yoshis that blow bubbles from their mouths. Enemies caught in these bubbles will turn into 3 [[Coin]]s, a power-up, or a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. These bubbles can also be used as miniature platforms. They first appear on the Frosted Glacier map area. | |||
|image2=[[File:WiiU NewMarioU 3 char03 E3.png|100px]] | |||
|name2=[[Balloon Baby Yoshi]] | |||
|description2=Magenta Baby Yoshis that expand like balloons and gently float in the air. These Baby Yoshis are similar to the [[Blimp Yoshi]] power-up, found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They first appear on the Acorn Plains map area. Additionally, up to 4 players can grab onto one Baby Yoshi, by grabbing their legs. This slows the player down though. | |||
|image3=[[File:NSMBU Glowing Baby Yoshi With Mario Artwork 2.png|100px]] | |||
|name3=[[Glowing Baby Yoshi]] | |||
|description3=Yellow Baby Yoshis that light up dark areas and can stun enemies with their light attack. These Baby Yoshis act similar to the [[Light Block]]s, found in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and also [[Bulb Yoshi]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Unlike the other two Baby Yoshis, the Glowing Baby Yoshis are not found on the world map and are only found in courses such as [[Perilous Pokey Cave]]. Instead of following the characters throughout the courses, they give an [[extra life]] when reach the end of the levels that they appear in. | |||

===Inventory=== | |||
[[File:NSMBU Inventory.png|left|thumb|400px|The inventory.]] | |||
The world map inventory, seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', returns in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', allowing players to store items that can be used before entering a level. Unlike the other inventories, this is limited to ten items only. If more items come in, the player will have to discard items from the inventory until they have ten. Players can gain items into their inventory by playing [[Toad House|Red Toad House]] minigames, collecting items on the world map itself, completing an [[Enemy Course]], catching [[Nabbit]], or finishing a level with the final two digits of the time matching. | |||
===Extra modes=== | |||
[[File:Time Attack Trial NSMBU.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Small Mario playing through a Time Attack stage in Challenge Mode.]] | |||
In addition to the main adventure, ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' features three additional bonus modes to play. The first of these is [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]], in which players must complete a given objective on a given stage, some within a specific time limit. In most cases, after the player completes a challenge, they are ranked with a medal depending on how well they did. There are five types of challenges: Time Attack, Coin Collection, 1-Up Rally, Special, and Boost Mode. | |||
Another mode is [[Boost Rush|Boost Rush Mode]], where players have to reach the end of two or three selected stages in the lowest possible time, similar to the [[Coin Rush]] mode featured in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Unlike Coin Rush, the stages scroll automatically, meaning the player has to keep up with the stage, which speeds up every time they collect coins. | |||
[[Coin Battle]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is also available. However, in this version of the mode, players can be grouped into teams against each other or play free-for-all, rather than just the latter. The Wii U GamePad can also be used for [[Coin Edit]], in which the GamePad is used to customize the coin placement in the [[Coin Courses|Coin Battle-exclusive courses]]. | |||
Unlike in the main game, player 1 can choose any character in these modes. | |||

Unlike the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' titles, where worlds are separated like in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' has a contiguous world map, similar to ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the worlds include [[Toad House]]s and [[Enemy Course]]s, though only red and green Toad Houses return. Also returning are [[Tower]]s, [[Castle]]s, and [[Ghost House]]-related levels. The music changes instruments throughout the world map similar to [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. | Unlike the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' titles, where worlds are separated like in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''New Super Mario Bros.

|image2=[[File:MortonNSMBU.png|68px]] | |||
|name2=[[Morton Koopa Jr.]] | |||
|description2=Morton Koopa Jr. is fought on [[Morton's Compactor Castle]] 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. | |||
|image3=[[File:NSMBU Larry Koopa Artwork.png|68px]] | |||
|name3=[[Larry Koopa]] | |||
|[[ | |description3=Larry Koopa is fought on [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]] in [[Sparkling Waters]] and blasts fireballs 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 fireballs in quick succession. | ||
| | |image4=[[File:NSMBU Wendy Koopa Artwork.png|68px]] | ||
|name4=[[Wendy O. Koopa]] | |||
|description4=Wendy O. Koopa is fought on [[Wendy's Shifting Castle]] 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 at the ceiling of the airship. She also spin jumps from walls. After she is jumped on twice, she will shoot out three rings instead. | |||
|image5=[[File:NSMBU Iggy Artwork.png|68px]] | |||
|name5=[[Iggy Koopa]] | |||
|description5=Iggy Koopa is fought on [[Iggy's Volcanic Castle]] in [[Soda Jungle]] and uses the four warp pipes 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 fireballs, with some being his usual green flame, and the other being red skeleton orbs that generate [[Magmaargh]]s when they land into 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. | |||
| | |image6=[[File:NSMBU Roy Artwork.png|68px]] | ||
|name6=[[Roy Koopa]] | |||
|description6=Roy Koopa is fought on [[Roy's Conveyor Castle]] 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. | |||
|image7=[[File:LudwigNSMBU.png|68px]] | |||
|[[ | |name7=[[Ludwig von Koopa]] | ||
| | |description7=Ludwig von Koopa is fought on [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]] in [[Meringue Clouds]] and levitates in the air while making two clones of himself, and all three Ludwigs will blast fireballs at Mario 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 fireballs, 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, Mario 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 fireballs, 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 fireballs. | ||
|image8=[[File:Bowserjr NSMBU.png|68px]] | |||
|name8=[[Bowser Jr.]] | |||
|description8=Bowser Jr. is fought on [[airship]]s. In Soda Jungle's [[The Mighty Cannonship]], Bowser Jr. uses his [[Junior Clown Car]] as a submarine underwater, in which the player 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' [[Boarding the Airship]], 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]]'s [[The Final Battle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|The Final Battle]], he cannot be defeated. | |||
|image9=[[File:BowserNSMBU.png|68px]] | |||
|name9=[[Bowser]] | |||
|description9=Bowser is fought in [[The Final Battle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|The Final Battle]] in [[Peach's Castle (world)|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 fireballs also works. This causes the axe to fall and make the bridge collapse, making Bowser fall. The gate then opens and Mario moves on. When Mario 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. | |||

New Super Mario Bros. U is a 2012 side-scrolling 2.5D platforming game, and a launch title for the Wii U. It is the sixteenth entry in the Super Mario series[3] and the fourth New Super Mario Bros. game. As a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the game is a follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. 2. It is the first Super Mario series game to be released as a launch title for a home console since Super Mario 64. An expansion pack for this game was later released in mid-2013, titled New Super Luigi U.
Based upon the New Super Mario Bros. Mii tech demo shown at E3 2011, the game uses new, more detailed background styles and models and introduces the Flying Squirrel power-up, acquired by Mario and his friends from an item called the Super Acorn, as well as utilizing the Wii U GamePad in Boost Mode.
The game was originally purchasable at the Nintendo eShop, requiring 2301.7 MB (about 2.25 GB) to be downloaded, but with the retail release of New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U, it is no longer possible to purchase New Super Mario Bros. U as a standalone game in regions outside of Japan.
A port titled New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was released for the Nintendo Switch in January 2019, and once again contains both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.
Story[edit]
![](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/9/95/NSMBU_Intro_1.png/280px-NSMBU_Intro_1.png)
Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad are with Princess Peach in Peach's Castle dining together. Bowser and the Koopalings suddenly arrive in their Airships, with the former sporting a Mecha Hand that smashes and launches the brothers and the Toads away from the castle. Mario and his friends crash into the Acorn Tree, launching Super Acorns through the area. They then tumble out of the tree, passing by a Bubble Baby Yoshi and Balloon Baby Yoshi, and they then look into the horizon to see Bowser beginning a siege on Princess Peach's Castle, setting the Mario Bros. and the Toads to go on a new adventure and to save Princess Peach.
As the game progresses, the view occasionally shifts to Peach's Castle, showing the flags being replaced by Bowser's flags (after Tilted Tunnel), and the castle being surrounded by a thin tornado-like cloud that is made thicker by Magikoopa's magic (after Stoneslide Tower), entirely obscuring the castle (after Giant Skewer Tower or Freezing-Rain Tower). Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad also encounter Bowser's forces, including the Koopalings, Boom Boom, Magikoopa, and Bowser Jr., who occasionally attacks the heroes with his father's airship. All of them are defeated, and Bowser Jr. causes the airship to crash after making the mechanical hand punch through it. After reaching Peach's Castle and defeating Bowser, the group moves onward, but Bowser Jr. appears and urges Magikoopa to spread his magic across the area. After heading to the castle exterior, Mario and the others see Peach in a tower. Before they can save her, she is locked inside the tower and Bowser appears, now at a giant size, alongside Bowser Jr. Eventually, Bowser is defeated and Bowser Jr., embarrassed, flees. The character that defeated Bowser gets to Peach and bows down to her, and is then kissed by her, to their shock and delight, as the clouds surrounding the castle disappear, restoring it to its former state.
Outside the castle, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. are fleeing on the airship as Bowser, who has returned to his normal size, recovers. Noticing the escaping airship, he climbs up onto one of the castle towers and leaps onto the ship, but his weight causes it to plummet into a hill nearby; they then fly away hanging onto Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car while Mario and Blue Toad watch. They then turn back to the others, who are celebrating their victory, with Mario delivering a final victory pose.
Gameplay[edit]
Overview[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. U is a platform game which plays very similarly to that of past New Super Mario Bros. games, especially New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with the return of the 4-player multiplayer functioning identically to the Wii game, while most of the elements and design found in the game make heavy reference to Super Mario World. Many other gameplay elements from the Wii game, such as the Super Guide, Enemy Courses, and the bubble function, also return. In certain modes, players can play as their Miis, including the first player, who can also choose whoever to play as. Power-ups, like the Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Penguin Suit, Propeller Mushroom, and the Mini Mushroom return. The game also features a new power-up, the Super Acorn, which gives Mario and co. a Flying Squirrel form, which lets them glide and grab onto walls.
New Super Mario Bros. U features two main controller options: single-player using the Wii U GamePad, and single-player or multiplayer using Wii Remotes and/or Wii U Pro Controllers; the player can switch controllers at any point between the GamePad and a Wii Remote or Pro Controller by pausing the game, either in a level or on the world map, and selecting the "Change Controller" option. The game supports up to five simultaneous players, with up to four being able to play as the characters with a Wii Remote or Wii U Pro Controller, and are able to drop in and out at any point while in a stage by pressing on the GamePad and selecting a character, or on the map by pausing and selecting "Number of Players". Another player is able to use the Wii U GamePad in what is known as Boost Mode. In Boost Mode, the GamePad player can assist the other players by placing blocks for them to stand on and stunning enemies. Boost Mode can be used at any point when playing with one of the other controllers; when playing with just the GamePad, it supports Off-TV Play.
After clearing Layer-Cake Desert-1, an enemy called Nabbit appears and steals an item from a Toad House connecting that level, heading back to Acorn Plains-1. When the player enters a stage with Nabbit, the objective is to race him to the goal, trying to catch him before he can get away. If the player succeeds in catching Nabbit, they are rewarded with a P-Acorn. Replacing the Toad saving in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nabbit only appears in one stage in the first seven worlds.
The first update to the game added Miiverse support. With Miiverse functionality enabled, players can read each others' posts on the world map by viewing the map; when not viewing the map a Miiverse post is indicated by a red balloon, generally near a stage, and can be hidden by pressing ; when on the World Map while using Boost Mode, the GamePad player can scroll across the map on the GamePad screen and view Miiverse posts. At certain times throughout gameplay, such as when the player dies several times or reaches the end of a course in a specific way (collecting all the Star Coins, clearing in a certain amount of time, clearing without taking damage, etc.), they are given a prompt to post a message to Miiverse. Players can also see Miiverse posts after they die in a stage. Miiverse settings can be changed at any point on the world map by selecting the pencil and envelope icon on the bottom right of the pause menu.
The sound is in stereo, with no support for 5.1 surround.
Controls[edit]
Like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Wii Remote is the primary controller for the game, allowing players to shake the controller to perform a Spin Jump, dismount Yoshi, and pick up objects. However, players can also play the game normally with the Wii U GamePad (single-player only) or the Wii U Pro Controller (after the 1.3.0 update). In the case of the Wii U Pro Controller, actions that require motion control on the Wii Remote and Wii U GamePad are replaced with button pressing, as the Wii U Pro Controller lacks motion controls.
Unlike New Super Mario Bros. Wii, this game lacks Nunchuk support.

Yoshis[edit]
Green Yoshis make a return, acting like in New Super Mario Bros Wii. Green is the only color available for Yoshis that the players ride on, unlike New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Yoshi now has a meter that tracks how many fruits he eats, instead of showing a number each time he eats one. As usual, eating 5 makes him lay an egg containing an item. Like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Yoshi cannot leave the courses that he appears in.
New Super Mario Bros. U also features the return of Baby Yoshis, having been absent from the Super Mario series since their debut in Super Mario World. The game features three differently-colored Baby Yoshis, each one with a special ability. They differ from the adult Green Yoshi in terms of gameplay. Being babies, they cannot be ridden, so characters must carry them throughout the levels. Baby Yoshis also instantly eat almost any enemy that is in front of them. Unlike in Super Mario World, however, Baby Yoshis no longer grow into adults after eating several enemies, instead remaining as babies. Two types of Baby Yoshis found on the overworld can be taken into any course, with the exception of Fortresses, Airships, and Castles.
Image | Name | Description
|
---|---|---|
![]() |
Bubble Baby Yoshi | Blue Baby Yoshis that blow bubbles from their mouths. Enemies caught in these bubbles will turn into 3 Coins, a power-up, or a 1-Up Mushroom. These bubbles can also be used as miniature platforms. They first appear on the Frosted Glacier map area. |
![]() |
Balloon Baby Yoshi | Magenta Baby Yoshis that expand like balloons and gently float in the air. These Baby Yoshis are similar to the Blimp Yoshi power-up, found in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They first appear on the Acorn Plains map area. Additionally, up to 4 players can grab onto one Baby Yoshi, by grabbing their legs. This slows the player down though. |
![]() |
Glowing Baby Yoshi | Yellow Baby Yoshis that light up dark areas and can stun enemies with their light attack. These Baby Yoshis act similar to the Light Blocks, found in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and also Bulb Yoshi from Super Mario Galaxy 2. Unlike the other two Baby Yoshis, the Glowing Baby Yoshis are not found on the world map and are only found in courses such as Perilous Pokey Cave. Instead of following the characters throughout the courses, they give an extra life when reach the end of the levels that they appear in. |
Inventory[edit]
The world map inventory, seen in Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, returns in New Super Mario Bros. U, allowing players to store items that can be used before entering a level. Unlike the other inventories, this is limited to ten items only. If more items come in, the player will have to discard items from the inventory until they have ten. Players can gain items into their inventory by playing Red Toad House minigames, collecting items on the world map itself, completing an Enemy Course, catching Nabbit, or finishing a level with the final two digits of the time matching.
Extra modes[edit]
In addition to the main adventure, New Super Mario Bros. U features three additional bonus modes to play. The first of these is Challenge Mode, in which players must complete a given objective on a given stage, some within a specific time limit. In most cases, after the player completes a challenge, they are ranked with a medal depending on how well they did. There are five types of challenges: Time Attack, Coin Collection, 1-Up Rally, Special, and Boost Mode.
Another mode is Boost Rush Mode, where players have to reach the end of two or three selected stages in the lowest possible time, similar to the Coin Rush mode featured in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Unlike Coin Rush, the stages scroll automatically, meaning the player has to keep up with the stage, which speeds up every time they collect coins.
Coin Battle from New Super Mario Bros. Wii is also available. However, in this version of the mode, players can be grouped into teams against each other or play free-for-all, rather than just the latter. The Wii U GamePad can also be used for Coin Edit, in which the GamePad is used to customize the coin placement in the Coin Battle-exclusive courses.
Unlike in the main game, player 1 can choose any character in these modes.
Worlds[edit]
Unlike the previous New Super Mario Bros. titles, where worlds are separated like in Super Mario Bros. 3, New Super Mario Bros. U has a contiguous world map, similar to Super Mario World. Like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the worlds include Toad Houses and Enemy Courses, though only red and green Toad Houses return. Also returning are Towers, Castles, and Ghost House-related levels. The music changes instruments throughout the world map similar to Yoshi's Island.
This is the first 2D Super Mario game to use completely unique names for each of its levels, and the second after Super Mario World to name its greater areas in-game. Both games use food and beverages as the theme for their world names.

Bosses[edit]
Tower bosses[edit]
Image | Name | Description
|
---|---|---|
![]() |
Boom Boom | The tower boss from Crushing-Cogs Tower in Acorn Plains to Grinding-Stone Tower in Rock-Candy Mines. He does not change in the first battle, especially on Crushing-Cogs Tower in Acorn Plains. However, following his first defeat, Magikoopa gives him special abilities. In Stoneslide Tower from Layer-Cake Desert, Magikoopa will grant him the ability to spin jump. In Giant Skewer Tower from Sparkling Waters and Freezing-Rain Tower from Frosted Glacier, Magikoopa will grant him the ability to jump, similar to Super Mario Bros. 3. In Snake Block Tower from Soda Jungle, Magikoopa will make him larger. In Grinding-Stone Tower from Rock-Candy Mines, Magikoopa will transform his arms into wings, similar to Super Mario Bros. 3. |
![]() |
Boss Sumo Bro | Boss Sumo Bro was a regular Sumo Bro until 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. He is fought on Screwtop Tower. |
![]() |
Magikoopa | Magikoopa is fought on Slide Lift Tower and teleports most of the time when Mario gets too close. However, when he stops to attack Mario, he is left vulnerable to Mario's jumping. 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. |
Castle/airship bosses[edit]
Image | Name | Description
|
---|---|---|
![]() |
Lemmy Koopa | Lemmy Koopa is fought on Lemmy's Swingback Castle in Acorn Plains and attempts to throw bombs at Mario. |
![]() |
Morton Koopa Jr. | Morton Koopa Jr. is fought on Morton's Compactor Castle 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. |
![]() |
Larry Koopa | Larry Koopa is fought on Larry's Torpedo Castle in Sparkling Waters and blasts fireballs 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 fireballs in quick succession. |
![]() |
Wendy O. Koopa | Wendy O. Koopa is fought on Wendy's Shifting Castle in Frosted Glacier and skates around the arena, shooting out two energy rings that ricochet off of walls and can knock down the icicles at the ceiling of the airship. She also spin jumps from walls. After she is jumped on twice, she will shoot out three rings instead. |
![]() |
Iggy Koopa | Iggy Koopa is fought on Iggy's Volcanic Castle in Soda Jungle and uses the four warp pipes 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 fireballs, with some being his usual green flame, and the other being red skeleton orbs that generate Magmaarghs when they land into 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. |
![]() |
Roy Koopa | Roy Koopa is fought on Roy's Conveyor Castle in Rock-Candy Mines and shoots Bullet Bills with his cannon and jump between platforms that move around during the fight. Occasionally, he shoots Missile Bills. 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. |
![]() |
Ludwig von Koopa | Ludwig von Koopa is fought on Ludwig's Clockwork Castle in Meringue Clouds and levitates in the air while making two clones of himself, and all three Ludwigs will blast fireballs at Mario 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 fireballs, 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, Mario 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 fireballs, 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 fireballs. |
![]() |
Bowser Jr. | Bowser Jr. is fought on airships. In Soda Jungle's The Mighty Cannonship, Bowser Jr. uses his Junior Clown Car as a submarine underwater, in which the player 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' Boarding the Airship, 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's The Final Battle, he cannot be defeated. |
![]() |
Bowser | Bowser is fought in The Final Battle in 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 fireballs also works. This causes the axe to fall and make the bridge collapse, making Bowser fall. The gate then opens and Mario moves on. When Mario 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. |

Reception[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. U has received generally positive reviews. The game currently maintains an 84 average on Metacritic[4] and had an 84.48% on GameRankings.[5] GameXplain gave the single-player and multi-player modes 4 stars out of 5,[6] IGN gave it a score of 9.1 out of 10,[7] EGM[8] gave a score of 9/10, Joystiq gave it 4.5 stars out of 5,[9] Polygon[10] and Destructoid[11] gave the same score of 8.5/10, VentureBeat[12] gave it a score of 83/100 (83%), Games Radar gave it 4 stars out of 5,[13] and Gamespot gave a score of 8.5.[14]
The game has been praised for its balanced gameplay and challenge mode, with IGN's Rich George describing it as "the best thing to come to Mario's world since 3D", while criticizing it as not pushing the Wii U's visuals and audio potential. He also stated, "though it doesn't necessarily redefine Nintendo's iconic hero, it still manages to capture the sense of carefree adventure that many of us felt as kids." He also criticized the game's "weak graphics and audio, plus the return of the irritating chaotic, bouncy multiplayer mode." He praised the progressing difficulty in the game and the additional difficulty of Challenge Mode.

Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment | |
Jim Sterling, Destructoid | 8.5/10 | "New Super Mario Bros. U is a great little platformer that kicks off the Wii U launch with a bang. Players know exactly what they're getting with this one -- an entertaining and incomplex bit of gaming that provides challenge and smirks in equal measure. While certainly a "safe" game to launch with, it is by no means unremarkable, and the only people who would fail to have fun are those with a fundamental aversion to Mario or platformers in general. Literally everybody else would find it incredibly difficult to dislike this one ... even if some of those latter stages will make them temporarily despise it. Because nobody likes lava levels. Nobody." | |
Christian Donlan, Eurogamer | 9/10 | "Is the plumber's Wii U debut as good as his recent 3D outings? Not quite, but for the New Super Mario Bros. series, it's a real step forward in detailing, imagination and character. There's always been a keen Mario brain working away inside these 2D design exercises. Now, it feels like there's a proper soul to go along with it." | |
Richard George, IGN | 9.1/10 | "It's difficult to find freshness or brilliance in a 2D landscape. Mario's world is now three decades old. That would seem to suggest new territory is scarce, and in some ways the formulaic New Mario series had come to reinforce that fear. But New Super Mario Bros. U demonstrates there's not just life left in this type of game, but that it can be modern and nostalgic at the same time. Nintendo's approach here strikes a great balance in all areas, ranging from its difficulty to design to enemies and bosses. And for everything the basic Story Mode does right – and that's a considerable amount – the Challenge Mode will be remembered as a key moment in the life of the New Mario series, where Nintendo realized it didn’t have to sacrifice the core gamer’s experience at the expense of a more casual audience. This is how Mario can and will appeal to everyone." | |

Sales[edit]
As of March 31, 2014, New Super Mario Bros. U is the 3rd best-selling game for the Wii U, having sold about 4.16 million copies worldwide. As of September 30, 2021, it had sold 5.82 million copies worldwide.[15]
Updates[edit]
Release date: November 18, 2012
Released at launch, the first update adds the game's Miiverse functionality.
Release date: March 15, 2013[16]
The second update causes any Miiverse posts made in-game to be posted to a separate "Game Posts" community rather than the standard community.
Release date: June 20, 2013[17]
The third game update adds the ability for the game to receive the New Super Luigi U downloadable content and puts a prompt in-game to go to the Nintendo eShop to download it. The update also adds support for the Wii U Pro Controller.
New Super Luigi U[edit]
- Main article: New Super Luigi U
In July 2013, as part of the Year of Luigi celebration, a large-scale expansion pack titled New Super Luigi U was released as downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U on the Nintendo eShop, and was later released as a standalone title at retail. The pack contains 82 new courses in place of the original ones, featuring Luigi as the main character in the place of Mario, who does not appear at all within the game.
The game features the same multiplayer, with the option of playing as Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, or Nabbit (who cannot power-up like the other characters, but is impervious to enemy damage). The game features similar physics to that of Luigi's style of gameplay in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, in that the characters run faster and jump higher, but stop slower. The levels have also been designed to be more challenging, with each one being shorter and featuring a 100 second time limit.
The Mario & Luigi Deluxe Set Wii U bundle released in November 2013 includes with it both games put onto one disc, titled New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U. In addition to being a compilation of both games, this release includes several bonus videos.
With the discontinuation of digital purchases for Wii U in March 2023, it is no longer possible to buy New Super Luigi U as DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U, though it can still be downloaded by those who purchased it when it was available.
Development[edit]
As stated above, New Super Mario Bros. U was based upon the New Super Mario Bros. Mii Wii U experience demo shown off at E3 2011.[18] A translation of a Spanish online magazine revealed that the new title was in development and would be revealed at E3 2012,[19] with the game fully revealed to be New Super Mario Bros. U during the E3 trailer.[20]
New Super Mario Bros. U began development soon after the completion of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, using pre-existing elements from the Wii game, as development equipment for the Wii U did not exist at the time.[21] The game's singular, interconnected world map was inspired by the one seen in Super Mario World; Masataka Takemoto desired to take the map from that game and use the Wii U in order to recreate and expand upon the concept.[22] The map being seamless also had a role in Miiverse integration, as with the setup of the map it was possible to display comments across each of the levels.[23] The concept of drop-in play with one player on the Gamepad placing blocks was brought up early in development. When the Wii U Gamepad was brought up during development, the team began to conceptualize ways to use it, talking specifically about the drop-in play. Wanting to make a feature with "controls that you can understand right away with no explanation," the concept of using the GamePad to place blocks the other players can jump on went through.[21]
Challenge Mode was based upon the idea of setting a self-challenge in the previous games, as well as the challenge site for New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Because of ideas like this, the developers decided to put the Challenge Mode into the game from the beginning. The challenges were created with all types of skill levels in mind.[24]
Boost Rush Mode was based on the Free-for-All Mode featured in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, in that they wanted a similar mode for playing the main game stages in short bursts. The developers tried connecting courses together and playing them through, but found it uneventful; they then added the concept of collecting coins resulting in the screen scrolling faster, and found it to fit a Super Mario-style of gameplay.[22]
Pre-release and unused content[edit]
Miis were originally going to be playable in the game's Story Mode. In the final game, Mii playability is restricted to the bonus modes. Additionally, Boost Mode was also originally titled "Assist Play". The Acorn Plains map as seen in the E3 showcase for the game is also very different from the version seen in final game.

Staff[edit]
- Main article: List of New Super Mario Bros. U staff
New Super Mario Bros. U was produced by Takashi Tezuka and Hiroyuki Kimura, with Masataka Takemoto as the director and Tsutomu Kaneshige and Shinichi Ikeamtsu as the general coordinators. Satoru Iwata was the executive producer, with the general producer being Shigeru Miyamoto. Masanobu Sato was the lead designer, and Shiro Mouri was the programming director. The music was composed by Shiho Fujii and Mahito Yokota, with Koji Kondo as sound adviser.
References to other games[edit]
- Mario Bros.: Coin Courses-2 is based on the levels in this game with similar platforms and Koopa Troopas acting like as Shellcreepers.
- Super Mario Bros.: The second level is an underground level with a secret path over the ceiling passing over the exit Warp Pipe, leading to a secret exit. In the final battle with Bowser, when Mario hits the switch, it causes an axe to fall and break the bridge. Sprites from this game are used in the game menus.
- Super Mario Bros. 3: Boom Boom is fought as the mid-boss of each world. The Super Acorn is comparable to the Super Leaf, as it has a P-variation. The Koopalings, which originated from this game, have airships once again. Airship levels, and the castle rooms before entering a Koopaling's airship, both use a remastered version of the airship theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
- Super Mario World: The world map is connected again and a ghost ship, similar to the Sunken Ghost Ship level, appears in this game. The Warp Pipes have a similar structure to the ones in Super Mario World. Most of the worlds are named after food again. Some of the world's features are similar to those found in Dinosaur Land (e.g. Acorn Plains having jagged mountains or Soda Jungle being one-third based on the Forest of Illusion). Super Mario World has the exact same number of exits that this game has: 96.
- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island: The name of the Challenge "Spin Jump, Get Dizzy" is a reference to that of a level from this game, Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy. Bubble Baby Yoshi's abilities maybe a reference to how Yoshi can shoot bubbles in this game including how the player can bounce off the bubbles. Kamek uses his magic to enhance Boom Boom's attacks, just as he did with this game's bosses. He also grows Bowser to a large size, similar to the final fight with Baby Bowser.
- New Super Mario Bros.: Cloud Lifts are redesigned to better resemble their New Super Mario Bros. counterparts and compress when stood on, just like in this game.
- Mario Kart Wii: The Red Shell and Green Shell use their artworks from this game, but the Green Shell's artwork is mirrored.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii: The title is the sequel to this game. Many graphical, audial, and technical assets were reused from this game. Kamek growing Bowser with magic could also be a reference to this game's final fight, where similar events transpired. The main gimmicks in Princess Peach’s Kingdom's tower and castle levels, Pendulum Platforms and cogs respectively, are switched in order of appearance between Acorn Plains' Crushing-Cogs Tower and Lemmy's Swingback Castle.
- Super Mario Galaxy 2: Balloon Baby Yoshi and Glowing Baby Yoshi's abilities are similar to those of Blimp Yoshi and Bulb Yoshi, respectively. Magmaarghs and Magmaws return from this game.
- Super Mario 3D Land: Boom Boom's voices are reused, as well as the motion patterns of some of the enemies.
- Mario Kart 7: The Miis reuse their voice clips from this game.
- New Super Mario Bros. 2: The title is a follow-up to this installment. The Note Block sounds are reused. The Goal Pole also produces the flag containing the emblem of the topmost character, also seen in this game.
- Paper Mario: Sticker Star: The Ghost House doors use the design from The Enigmansion in this game rather than the one from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The Bony Beetle's design is reused. Also, Bowser Jr. uses the same glass dome in his clown copter as in this game.
References in later games[edit]
- Mario Kart Arcade GP DX: Various background mountains from Acorn Plains are visible in the Bowser Jr. Cup's courses, Aerial Road and Sky Arena.
- Mario Kart 8: Mecha Cheeps reappear in the underwater sections of Water Park.
- Mario Golf: World Tour: Layer-Cake Desert, Sparkling Waters, and Rock-Candy Mines appear as downloadable courses in this game. Some pieces of Mii gear are based upon both Nabbit and the Boss Sumo Bro, both of which originate from this game. Nabbit returns as a downloadable playable character.
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: A stage based on New Super Mario Bros. U, Mushroom Kingdom U, appears in this game.
- Mario Party 10: A few of the minigames take place in areas that resemble some of the worlds in New Super Mario Bros. U, such as Cheep Cheep Leap taking place in Sparkling Waters and Fruit Scoot Scurry taking place in Layer-Cake Desert.
- Super Mario Maker/Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS: The fourth game style in these games is based on New Super Mario Bros. U.
- Super Mario Run: The graphics, as well as most of the music, are based on New Super Mario Bros. U.
- Mario Party: Star Rush: The underwater theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii appears as a song from New Super Mario Bros. U in the Rhythm Recital mode for this game.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The stage Mushroom Kingdom U from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U returns as a stage in this game. The Koopalings, Nabbit, Boo, Hammer Bro, Banzai Bill, Thwomp, Bob-omb, Flying Squirrel Toad, Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Super Star appear as spirits, using their artwork from New Super Mario Bros. U.
- Super Mario Maker 2: Like the previous Super Mario Maker games, the fourth style in this game is based on New Super Mario Bros. U.
- WarioWare: Get It Together!: This game features a microgame based on New Super Mario Bros. U.

Trivia[edit]
- If the Miis are selected as P1, they will be colored like Mario. If P2, they will be colored like Luigi. If P3, they will be colored like Wario. If P4, they will wear blue shirts and dark blue overalls, similar to Luigi's light blue alternate costume from the Super Smash Bros. series. This could be a reference to the player 4 in some of the Wii U Virtual Console ports of the Game Boy Advance iteration of Mario Bros.
- When the Mario Bros., Toads, or Miis are not moving, they stop and stare at the screen until the player starts moving them again.
- Sometimes, on the title screen, Luigi almost trips over instead of jumping and ground-pounding the ground.
- In this game, New Super Luigi U, and their Nintendo Switch port, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad's in-game voices are swapped compared to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. However, their voices in the menus and character selection screen are still the same as the previous game. In Super Mario Maker 2's New Super Mario Bros. U-style, Toad's voices are a combination of both of them.
- Bowser transforming Peach's castle into a stronghold of his in this game is similar to the climax of Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!
