New Super Luigi U (styled as New Super Luigi Bros. U) is an expansion pack to the Wii U title New Super Mario Bros. U, celebrating The Year of Luigi. It features Luigi as player one, with Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and, notably, Nabbit (who replaces Mario from the original game) playable in multiplayer mode.[1] Features like Challenge Mode and Boost Rush are not available.
The title was released for the Wii U eShop, and can be purchased by accessing it via an Internet connection, and having a copy of New Super Mario Bros. U. Once downloaded, the player must press a certain button on the file select screen to play. It will also be available for purchase at retail. This version will not require New Super Mario Bros. U in order to be playable. Wii U Pro Controller support will also be included in addition of Wii Remote and the Gamepad controls in New Super Mario Bros. U.
Gameplay
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 Star Coins, Enemy Courses, and bosses are retained.
Characters
Playable
Changes
The world map itself is unchanged from New Super Mario Bros. U, though it is unconfirmed if the Toad Houses are changed. 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 towers and castles.
After the game is completed, a red "M" 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.
