In New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario, Luigi and Toad are joined by a new character: You! Use your Mii character to run and jump in this side-scrolling Mario adventure.
Explore a gigantic map filled with all-new stages and experience new ways to play that are only possible on Wii U.
Transform into a flying squirrel Mario to hover over stages, cling to walls or a Baby Yoshi balloon to float delicately in the air.
Different colored Yoshis and new transformations complement classic features in addition to old favorites in the Mushroom Kingdom!
Thanks to the Wii U GamePad, multiplayer games are more fun than ever. Up to four players armed with Wii Remotes and a fifth using the Wii U GamePad can take part in Gold Rush mode.
In this mode, the player using the GamePad can touch the touchscreen to place platforms on the TV screen which adds a refreshing twist to classic Mario gameplay.
Players work together to complete stages or compete against each other in a frantic race where they try to collect as many parts and transformations as possible while avoiding annoying blocks placed by their friend in charge of the GamePad!
