Super Mario World U for Nintendo Switch

He-ey, another remake for Nintendo Switch that day? I - TheRandomBlock (talk) 16:20, October 11, 2020 (UTC) - will call this day the Remake Sunday :)
Super Mario World U for Nintendo Switch is a Nintendo Switch remaster of Cosmic Koopa Company's Super Mario World U. Like the original, it is like the New Super Mario Bros. games and like the Super Mario Bros. games. It features many items, power-ups, levels, enemies, and bosses. The game does introduce a new Earthquake power-up, acquired by Mario and friends by the Earth Rock. It marks the debut of Lucario in a Mario game.
==Plot==
===Mario Plot===
The same as in the original Super Mario World U.
===Lucario Plot===
Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, is out in a very deserted location, walking until noticing a letter from the Mushroom Kingdom. The letter says:
Dear "Newcomer",I'm planning an item festival in my castle.Mario and Luigi will proudly welcome you, too.Hope you can come!From,Peach
Meanwhile, in the Mushroom Kingdom, at an item festival in Peach's Castle, Bowser and the Koopa Troop attack and capture Princess Peach. Just until Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad are about to chase after Bowser, Lucario teleports with his Aura and uses Aura Sphere at a part of the Koopa Troop. Mario then kicks Lucario by a sweep kick, but Lucario quickly gets up. After a while Mario's crew and Lucario chase after the Koopa Troop. Kamek appears right in front of them and casts a magic spell on them sending the four far, far from the Mushroom Kingdom in the same time as Lucario teleports to the same place using Aura. The Koopalings and the other minions of Bowser set out and face the Aura Pokémon.
After the long adventure to Bowser's Castle, Lucario finds Peach alongside Mario's crew but they don't find Bowser anywhere except a ! Switch in which they hit breaking the floor and sending the brothers and the Toads into an underground area, as Lucario teleports there using Aura. After going through the lava trenches, Lucario thinks that he is lost, but he finally reaches Bowser and battles him, after hitting the ! Switch and having Bowser fall into the lava pit. Lucario falls into an engine room-like course. After traversing the engine room, as well as the castle corridors, he ends up on the top of the castle, just looking up, until a thunderstruck appears out of nowhere. Bowser appears inside his Koopa Clown Car where the final battle begins. The Aura Pokémon defeats Bowser and saves Princess Peach and goes to celebrate back into the Mushroom Kingdom.
==Gameplay==
Playing the game is just like any ordinary sidescrolling Mario game. It contains elements from the New Super Mario Bros. series and also reuses elements from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.
The game takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom as usual. Instead of the game having three Star Coins it now has four of them in a level. Also Boost Mode is in the game so a fifth player (or third in the Lucario Plot's case) can join in and use the Joy-Con tablet to put colored blocks out to help the players. The game has the usual 8 main worlds plus a special world and features 5 secret worlds which can be unlocked by finding the secret exits in certain levels.
The Hammer Suit appears as well as power-ups from New Super Mario Bros. Wii like the Ice Flower and the Penguin Suit. Also the new power-up in the game called the Earth Rock can turn players into an Earthquake form. This allows them to jump onto the ground causing quakes which can defeat any enemies that are on the ground on-screen and make Coins fall that are on-screen. Yoshies can be ridden and Baby Yoshies can be carried. Baby Yoshies have the same abilites they had in New Super Mario Bros. U.
There is also a Hard Mode which allows players to play the levels with a shorter time limit and if the player gets hit they lose a life instantly. A few other differences is that Lucario's Aura has only its stronger variant, and some enemies and objects move faster.
===Lucario===
One major addition in the remake is adding a fifth character, Lucario, the Aura Pokémon himself. He is seen to be very fast - faster than Yellow Toad. His Aura has two variants:  and . The red one is stronger, while blue Aura has average strength. Lucario cannot use Power-Ups, because he has a Pokémon-esque health bar with 60 points. Bowser Jr.'s and Koopalings' attacks deal 6 points, while Bowser's 10 points. In Blue-Candy Sky-Airship, where others have to use Balloon Baby Yoshies to attack Jr.... Don't worry, Lucario. We'll write about attacks. Using B will make Lucario fire Aura, using X will make Lucario use Aura Sphere, and using Y will make him use Force Palm using his Aura. Also, he has 2 additional normal attacks: pressing ZL will make him use a kneeling Hapkido-style kick, while pressing ZR will make him stomp twice, emitting blasts of Aura each stomp. For beating Bowser Jr. in Blue-Candy Sky-Airship, Lucario should use the ZR button attack! (And what I should have to say... This tip is for new beginner Lucario Plot players).
Lucario cannot ride Yoshies, instead he rides Frogadier. Frogadier is the same as a Yoshi, but it can leap higher than usual. Also, Frogadier is slightly faster than an Yoshi, and can walk on water while pressing ZL or ZR buttons. Special attacks can be executed while on a Frogadier. Additionally, Frogadier is the same speed as Lucario when swimming.
===Mega Lucario Speedruns===
Another addition is Mega Lucario Speedruns. The speedruns are exclusive for the Lucario Plot and occur in those levels (marked with Lucario's icon from SSBU):
*Grassy Plains-7
*Sandstorm Desert-6
*Sparkling Seaside-2
*Leafy-Green Forest-3
*Glacier Valley-1
*Blue-Candy Sky-6
*Canyon Cliffs-5
*Bowser's Domain-Fortress 2
During the speedruns, Lucario has to beat the level before a Mega Lucario. Lucario can use the advantage of Frogadiers and super boosts which consume a certain amount of Aura. Coins and power-ups collected by Lucario add Aura count by 10. The Aura counter can wager maximum 100 Aura, and when that happens, pressing X will make Lucario do a 10-second ultra boost. If Lucario will get first to the Goal Gate, he will get an 1-Up. But when Mega Lucario will get first to the Goal Gate, Lucario loses 50 coins, however the level is cleared unless the speedrun being won or lost.
==Other changes==
