Bowser suddenly arrives in his Airship, now with a giant mechanical fist, that smashes the brothers and the Toads towards the Acorn Plains.

They see Bowser and the Koopalings kidnapping Princess Peach once again, and they go on a new adventure to save her one more time.

New Super Luigi U is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game for the Wii U released as part of the Year of Luigi. It was released as a expansion pack for New Super Mario Bros. U and later released as a standalone game. The gameplay is largely similar to New Super Mario Bros. U, but Luigi's jumping height is higher. The game has been designed to be harder, only having 100 seconds in every stage, due to this, stages have been made shorter.

New Super Luigi U's multiplayer is included from New Super Mario Bros. U, however Mario is not present and Nabbit takes its place. As Nabbit, the player cannot take damage from enemies but cannot use any items, every item collected will be turned into a 1UP at the end of the stage.
