New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe bundles the excellent Wii U platformer with its Luigi DLC into one complete package. The result is one of the most robust 2D Mario experiences available.

Level Design Excellence

NSMBU features some of the best level design in the 2D Mario series. Each world introduces new mechanics that are explored thoroughly before evolving into genuine challenges. The difficulty curve is near-perfect, with optional Star Coins providing additional challenges for completionists.

The Luigi Expansion

New Super Luigi U adds a completely remixed campaign with shorter, faster levels designed around Luigi’s slippery physics. The 100-second time limits create genuine tension, and the increased difficulty makes it perfect for those who found the base game too easy.

Multiplayer Madness

Up to four players can race through levels together, and the chaos is both frustrating and hilarious. The addition of Nabbit and Toadette (who can become Peachette) provides accessibility options for less experienced players without holding back veterans.
