New Ways to Play and Share Your Mario Fun

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.

FEATURES:

  • Swoop through levels and cling to walls when Mario transforms into Flying Squirrel Mario, or gently float through the air while hanging onto Tiny Balloon Yoshi.
  • The Wii U GamePad controller offers a new way to play multiplayer in this game. An extra player can jump into the action using the new Boost mode, creating platforms out of thin air to help others navigate tricky stages or access hidden or hard-to-reach items.
  • Boost mode also makes cooperative speed runs possible for the first time. Use the GamePad to interact with and manipulate enemies and objects in real time, allowing for new ways to find the fastest routes through each level.
  • Play on the big screen or the small screen. Switch game play from the TV to the GamePad at any time to continue playing even when others are using the TV.
  • Experience Mario together like never before with Miiverse. See other players’ comments and accomplishments while you play and leave your own feedback for others to see when connected to the Nintendo Network.

High definition hijinks

New Super Mario Bros. U marks the first time that a brand new Mario game has accompanied a Nintendo hardware launch since the days of the N64, and consequently places an inordinate amount of pressure and expectation on its high-definition shoulders...

@LouieGi They announced it at E3. 4 people play while the person with the Gamepad can place boost blocks under/above the people to help/kill them.

Finally, for the first time since N64, a Nintendo home console launches with a Mario game! :D

Kudos to Nintendo for providing a real open exploration SNES Super Mario World style world map. Also, here's hoping they include a built-in level editor and a ton more levels than previous NSMB releases...

Another excellent platforming game for Mario once again. My bro always hogs the DS with NSMB in it! I hope he doesn't hog the gamepad while someone is watching TV.....

I love all the extra challenges this game has to offer. With guiding Monty Mole, a sub-par coin battle level editor, boost rush, nabbit mode, mii mode, boost, and even extra lives challenge. There's also a fire bro dodging fireballs mini-game, and delicately balancing on a small platform while avoiding enemies for the best score and update it to Mii Wara Wara. To all haters, THIS IS NOT A RE-HASH LIKE NSMB2, I repeat! You've been warned...

This will most likely be my first Wii U game. (If I ever get a Wii U). This looks pretty good, even though the "New" Super Mario Bros. Series is getting to be too much.
