Play Overview
There are additional assistance options in this game. The Super Guide detects if you are stuck and offers to control your character to avoid anyone getting stuck.
There was an alternate version of the game called New Super Luigi U with additional features. There is also Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Switch that contains both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. It runs at higher resolution and includes a new playable character, Toadette. It also lets you edit your own levels.
Our examiner, Jo Robertson, first checked New Super Mario Bros. U 3 years ago. It was re-examined by Ellen Robertson and updated 5 days ago.
Play Style
On the Switch version you use Joy-Con controllers (half each) but can't access the assistance player mode of the Wii U, so this version is 4 players.
You can play this game in the following styles:

Age Ratings
Skill Level
5+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it’s important for parents and guardians to ensure they understand in-game purchases and have spending limits set-up. Although you do need some timed button pressing skill for jumps and running, because you can hop into a bubble if you are stuck this is a game that still works with really young players. Playing in a group lets you progress together, with more experienced players aiding younger players. Players can bump into each other which can be fun if you enjoy mischief or mistakes, but also can frustrate if one player gets bumped to their death.
