New Super Mario Bros.
In "New Super Mario Bros. U", "New Super Luigi U" is presented as a mode separate from the base game, selectable from the main menu. The plot and gameplay in this mode is identical to the base game barring several differences. First, Mario is omitted from the roster of playable characters, and Luigi is made the central character. The characters in "New Super Luigi U" control differently from the characters in "New Super Mario Bros. U", with a higher jump height and less precise handling. When the player defeats the final boss Bowser, the player receives the option at the start of each level to switch Luigi back to the physics used in "New Super Mario Bros. U".
