About

Released in 2012 for the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development and the fourth entry in the New Super Mario Bros. series. Building on New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the game features more detailed visual environments and introduces the Flying Squirrel transformation, which Mario and his companions can acquire by collecting a Super Acorn. The Wii U GamePad is incorporated through Boost Mode, adding a distinct layer of interaction to multiplayer play. Beyond the main campaign, the game includes separate challenge modes that extend its content. The title marked the series' debut on the Wii U and represents a notable step forward in the visual presentation and power-up design that defined its predecessors.
