What is Nintendo New Super Mario Bros. U?

Nintendo New Super Mario Bros. U is a side-scrolling video game that was released on November 18, 2012, and is the fourth installment in the New Super Mario Bros. series. The game was developed by Nintendo and is exclusive to the Wii U console.

In this game, players control Mario, Luigi, or their respective Toad counterparts, as they travel through various levels in the Mushroom Kingdom. The goal of each level is to reach the end, defeating enemies and bosses along the way, and collecting power-ups and coins.

One unique feature introduced in this game is the "Boost Mode," which allows a fifth player to use the Wii U GamePad to assist the other players by creating platforms, distracting enemies, and revealing hidden items. This adds a new layer of gameplay and teamwork to the otherwise familiar Super Mario Bros. formula.

The game boasts over 80 levels, each with its unique challenges and obstacles. The levels are divided into different worlds, each with its distinct theme and visual style. From grassy plains to underwater caverns, from haunted mansions to airborne acrobatics, players will never run out of variety in this game.

Nintendo New Super Mario Bros. U received critical acclaim for its polished gameplay, excellent level design, and engaging multiplayer mode. It has been hailed as one of the best Super Mario Bros. games to date and is a must-play for fans of the franchise and platformer genre in general.
