Newly Super Mario Bros. U

Newly Super Mario Bros. U is a platform video game in the Super Mario Bros. series developed by Fusion Thunder Games and released for the Wii U on December 29, 2015. This game was made as a tribute to the 30th anniversary of the Mario franchise and a semi-sequel to New Super Mario Bros. U. The main attractions of this installment include new power-ups unlike others in the series, new locales never seen in a New Super Mario Bros. game before, an updated 2.5D perspective, and the option to play as the Koopalings. Some elements from Super Mario Super Land are included, as well.
== Story ==
Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad are roaming the roads of the Mushroom Kingdom during the day as a flock of roosters with ethereal wings and monkeys with brilliant tails cross the grassy landscape, providing a show of bright spectacle and gifts to the citizens. Suddenly, the roosters and monkeys are surrounded by rings of flames as Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings descend from the sky, making their presence known. Bowser locks his eyes on Princess Peach, looking to snag her, but his attention is then brought to a couple of figures snagging the monkeys and roosters into a bag. It's Wario, accompanied by Waluigi, sneaking around with the intention of taking the generous creatures for themselves. While Bowser and the Koopalings are trying to get the Wario Bros. away from their prizes, Peach and Toad throw the Mario Bros. up to the villains. Bouncing off their heads, they manage to get above the clouds and find their vessel, an airship shaped like a rooster with a monkey's tail.
They're able to hang on to the ship as it picks up the captured animals and starts moving. Toad, Wario and Waluigi make it to the surface of the craft, but Bowser catches them, along with the Mario Bros., and has them shot out of a cannon. Peach, hiding herself underneath the ship, notices the heroes and the Wario Bros. going flying and drops off to where they ended up, gently floating down. The location is a Mushroom Kingdom island just on the outskirts of a new kingdom, the Zodi Kingdom. Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad head out to catch up with Bowser and the Koopa Troop. Wario and Waluigi tag along of their own accord, much to the group's grievance.
Throughout their adventure, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Wario and Waluigi travel across the Zodi Kingdom, freeing the people from the Koopa Troop, defeating the new big bosses and each of the Koopalings along the way. With every world they clear, they collect a Medal with Bowser's insignia on it. Meanwhile, Bowser watches on from his grand airship, sending out the Koopalings and his elite minions to impede the progress of Mario and company. The Koopa Troop's effect on the Zodi Kingdom becomes alot more prominent and severe in the later worlds due to their abuse of the power controlled by the magical monkeys and roosters, especially the most powerful ones of all, the Rooster Master (Roos) and the Monkey Master (Onke).
After defeating Ludwig at Thorn Quag Volcano, the heroes (and anti-heroes) make it to Bowser's Lava Ocean Castle, where the grand airship is floating above. At the end, they defeat Bowser and unlock the room where the Rooster Master and Monkey Master reside. Or so they think. The Bowser they sent dropping down a pit was just Kamek wearing a convincing disguise, and the Masters are only holograms. The room turns out to be an escape pod, launching out of the castle and latching on to the grand airship. Soon, the pod is dropped off at a station, left behind by the grand airship. Resurfacing from the vessel, everyone discovers that they're in a gigantic resort town, titled the Neon Bowser Resort, built by the Koopa Troop on a flying island.
Traversing through all of the traps laid before them, they manage to take down Boom Boom and Pom Pom one last time, defeat Kamek to obtain one more medal, then by crushing Bowser Jr. one more time and finally taking down the grand airship, make a bridge to Bowser's Neon Rave Palace. It's revealed that the 8 medals they collected are all keys to Bowser's front door, allowing them to enter the Palace and take on the Koopa King. At the end, Bowser is confronted after barely evading a clever trap. Bowser puts up one of his best fights yet, throwing fireballs, hammers, and his weight around in many different ways, but thanks to some POW Blocks from some figures in distress up above, Bowser is taken down temporarily.
Just when the coast seems clear, Bowser returns in his Koopa Clown Car, determined to win. At the end of a long climb, avoiding Bowser's artillery and strikes, the actual Rooster and Monkey Masters are found at the top in a big cage, with a big switch underneath them. The switch is hit, activating cannons in the distance, intended for Bowser's enemies, but the Masters block them, making them hit Bowser instead, bringing him back down to the Palace grounds.
The time for celebration is cut short, when Bowser flings himself up to the platform. Kamek appears, threatening to use a deadly magic spell on the Masters if the hero (or anti-hero) makes any sudden moves. Bowser Jr. arrives to give his father a Super Egg and a Tailed Fruit. Bowser pulls out a magic wand of his own to combine the two power-ups together, creating a new item that has his evil influence all over it. He eats it without a second thought, transforming into a frightening hybrid of himself, a rooster and a monkey, dubbing himself "Zodiowser: The Zodi God", before sending Kamek and Bowser Jr. on their way. Zodiowser lets out an all-powerful roar to the heavens as the final battle commences.
Despite Bowser's new power and best efforts, he is ultimately defeated once and for all and stripped of his form, plummeting down to a pool of blue lava, where he burns down to his bones. At last, the Rooster Master and Monkey Master are set free, the Koopa Troop's influence is removed from the Zodi Kingdom when the citizens come out of hiding, and all the Roosters and Monkeys throw a parade for Mario's crew. Even Wario and Waluigi earn a little something for all their trouble. During the credits, the Zodi Kingdom's saviors run and jump around the parade until a rainbow trail appears, sending them on their way back to the Mushroom Kingdom. As Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad strike victory poses in front of Peach's Castle, Wario and Waluigi call it a day and bail.
In a post-credits sequence, Bowser Jr., Kamek and the Koopalings are searching for Bowser, following the destruction of Neon Bowser Resort. A patch of hardened blue lava with a black spiked shell sticking out is found, piquing their interest. Growling out a sound of exhaustion, the shell springs to life, revealing Bowser, now turned into Dry Bowser. His son and the rest of the group look on at the king of Koopas in his skeletal form, nervously keeping themselves silent as they fetch him a small Clown Car, which he is forced to ride in with only his tail managing to fit inside the seat.
When the main story and Fantasy Asteroid are completed, Rosalina will descend from the stars on her Comet Observatory, sensing the presence of valiant, hard working heroes that have bested the trials of the Zodi Kingdom. She is lead to Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Wario and Waluigi, standing on a hill upon the asteroid. She gives her thanks for the effort in defeating her evil doppelganger and restoring the happy balance in the cosmos, in addition to beating Bowser once more and bringing serenity back to the Zodi people. She decides to join the group, recognizing the whole crew besides Wario and Waluigi, but not before revealing the Super Special World, the Highway of Champions. Lastly, she asks if all the Zodi's Star Coins have been collected.
After the Highway of Champions has been bested, right down to collecting every Star Coin, the pathway to the Grand Champion Palace is unlocked, posing the most daunting challenge yet. At the end, Dry Bowser appears, ready to exact his revenge. He fights the same way as he did in the first Palace, only with blue fire, bones instead of hammers, and even an attack where he dismembers himself and sends his pieces at the hero(s) from different directions. Despite his new tricks, he is defeated thanks to convenient POW Blocks. But of course it wouldn't be over that easily. In the next phase, it's a tower climb again, with Dry Bowser attacking in his new Dry Koopa Clown Car. At the end, a switch is hit, triggering the plunge of a gigantic Hammer Steely, which hits Dry Bowser when he attempts to crush his opponent(s) himself. The Dry Koopa Clown Car explodes, reducing Dry Bowser to pieces that go flying everywhere.
Afterwards, the whole cast flies across space, giving out presents to the Zodi people while enemies and the colours of each world undergo some cosmetic changes. Finally, a picture of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, Captain Toad, the Zodi, the Yoshi clan, the Rooster Master, the Monkey Master, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, the Koopalings and all the Koopa Troop Bosses standing together shows up with the phrase "Congratulations! You're a Newly Super Hero!", marking the 100% completion of the game.
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is near identical to New Super Mario Bros. U, but due to the updated look of the 2.5D view, the characters can now enter planes in the background and progress to search for goodies and bonus rooms. In every course of every world, there are 3 Star Coins (now taking on a black and white Yin-Yang symbol look) to collect. Collecting these allows the player(s) to open up paths to special Zodi Houses and play the courses in the Super Special World after beating the main game.
Some stages include well-hidden secret exits, as in previous New Super Mario Bros. games. In addition, the game tasks the player(s) with getting 500,000 coins to achieve the final unlockable bonus. Every playable character has their own strengths and weaknesses, in addition to their own unique powers with just about every power-up in the game. The choices are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Wario and Waluigi at the beginning, but after every world, minus the normal final world and the Super Special World, a Koopaling becomes playable to use in select courses, complete with their signature abilities. One more character is unlocked after completing the Super Star World and unlocking the Super Special World.
Yoshi is once again able to be mounted and controlled in certain levels, topped off with the return of the Balloon (Magenta), Bubble (Blue) and Glowing (Yellow) Baby Yoshis, in addition to two new Baby Yoshis: Quake (Red) and Torpedo (Cyan). Every world from the first one onward (except the Bowser, Super Star and Super Special Worlds) are all part of a gigantic map, allowing for many alternate routes to be unlocked. There are certain secret exits that open up a Star Road, leading to the world's corresponding course in the Super Star World.
In multiplayer, up to 4 players can join the leading player on the Adventure. Four players will select and control one of the playable characters (including Player 1, who is no longer stuck with just Mario). This time, when a character makes contact with another character, no matter the angle, they will turn transparent and pass through each other. This change was made to reduce the frustration factor of playing cooperatively. In addition, a fifth player holding the Game Pad can tap the Touch Screen to stun enemies (except bosses), create platforms that can help with or hinder progression, grab items and coins that may be out of reach (but not Star Coins), and fill up a Star Meter. When is meter is filled and then tapped, the Game Pad holder can destroy enemies and blocks with a lightning bolt attack for a limited time.
Outside the main adventure mode, there is a Challenge Mode, which provides a long list of courses, varying from very short to very long, with different conditions to fulfill while managing to reach the Goal. There is also the Coin Marathon Mode, where time limits are a little more strict than usual, prompting the player to grab a large amount of coins in a variety of gold filled courses. Unlocking the courses in these modes requires time spent on saving the Zodi Kingdom.
When the game is cleared 100%, a museum opens up on Egg Marble Island, showcasing characters, items, locations and forms of Mario from all of the past Mario platform games up to this one, both 2D and 3D, from Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario 3D World (in the Deluxe version, Super Mario Odyssey is featured as well). It even includes side games, such as Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Luigi's Mansion, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and every entry of the Mario Kart series.
Upon collecting 500,000 coins, a sound test containing the game's entire soundtrack, a gallery of concepts, retro-style Challenge courses, a Boss Rush and a modified 8-bit version of the Adventure Mode (styled after the original version of Super Mario Bros.), titled "Super Mario Bros. for Newly Super Players", are unlocked.

She also possesses the ability to slap enemies into other enemies. As Bowsy, she takes two hits before powering down, is able to break certain hard objects by walking into them, and can make screen-clearing shock waves with her ground pound.
*Toadette: Jumps as high as Toad, but also moves as fast and shares his powerful ground pound. She also possesses the ability to continuously roll across the ground after sliding down a slope. As Peachette, she can float through the air, perform a mid-air jump and save herself from bottomless pits, lava, poisonous water and dark matter one time.

==Re-release==
On April 12th, 2019, the game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch under the title "Newly Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe". This re-release added a new rare power-up, the Spirit Star, which grants everyone a super powerful form: the Superstar form. This forms act like a fusion of the Super Star, the Inferno Flower and the P-Wing, with the water running and wall scaling capabilities of the Mini Mushroom and a strength boost that's close to that of the Mega Mushroom. Additionally, it increases acceleraton and speed, raises jump height, grants protection from not only lava, but also poisonous water, volcanic ash and dark matter, lasts a long period of time and can be maintained for even longer by collecting coins. However, like any other form, it is affected by crushing and bottomless pits.
The other major addition is Princess Daisy and Toadette as playable characters, complete with their own traits and power-up abilities. Exclusive to these two characters is the Super Crown power-up, which turns the former into the mighty Bowsy and the latter into the agile Peachette.
==Trivia==
*The first two words in the game's title are deliberate wordplay, as the game exists to reinvigorate the New Super Mario Bros. sub-series (while honoring Mario's history).
*Monkeys and Roosters are the most prominent of the Zodi Kingdom citizens because the following two years (as of this game's release) are the years of the Monkey and the Rooster, respectively; 2016 and 2017. This also explains the Monkey and Rooster forms.
*Boom Boom, compared to his previous New Super Mario Bros. appearance, has far less Tower Boss appearances - only 2; one by himself in the World 1 Tower, and the other alongside Pom Pom in the Bowser World Tower.
*This is the first New Super Mario Bros. game where regular Magikoopas are present, and Kamek has been promoted to a Castle Boss, with a brand new enhanced form (named Ghastly Kamek) to boot.
*The Super Star World's boss, Linarosa, is a direct callback to Nega Rosalina, the secret final boss of Super Mario Super Land.
*Bowser seems a lot more powerful and intelligent than he is in any other 2D Mario platforming game, possessing a larger moveset and even going as far as to combine the game's feature power-ups (the Super Egg and the Tailed Fruit) to make himself a stronger form.
*This game marks the first time in the New Super Mario Bros. series that the classic Super Mario Bros. Bowser arena is used with a fake Bowser.
*Wario and Waluigi were included as playable characters in response to fans who would've preferred them in previous New Super Mario Bros. games in place of the Yellow and Blue Toads. In addition, Princess Peach's inclusion as a playable character is the realization of a scrapped concept from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
*Galoombas in this game completely take the place of Goombas, just like in Super Mario World.
*This game has bigger enemy variety than any other Mario game, 2D or 3D.
*Newly Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was created in response to New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and the former was released only three months and a day after the latter.
*Princess Daisy's Bowsy form is a direct parody of the once-popular Bowsette, a fan-made Bowser/Princess Peach hybrid inspired by the Super Crown power-up.
