Welcome to the New Super Mario Bros. U Wiki
This is the unoffical wiki for the game "New Super Mario Bros. U" for the Wii U.

New Super Mario Bros. U
New Super Mario Bros. U is a new, side-scrolling adventure featuring Mario, Luigi, Toad … and your Mii character! Now's your chance to step inside the Mushroom Kingdom and explore new worlds, new power-ups and new ways to play.

☀New Super Mario Bros. U is a 2012 side-scrolling 2.5D platform game, and a launch title for the Wii U. It is the fourth installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series, a sub-series of the parent Super Mario platformer series. As the sequel to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the game is a follow-up game of 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 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 (approx. 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 2019, and once again contains both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U.
