New Super Mario Bros. U (ニュー・スーパーマリオブラザーズ・U Nyū Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Yū?) is a side-scrolling platform video game in the Super Mario series developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. It is the fourth title in the New Super Mario Bros. series, and was released as a launch title in North America, Europe, and Australia in November 2012, and in Japan the following month. An additional campaign for the Year of Luigi, New Super Luigi U, was released as downloadable content in 2013. The game was critically well-received and is the Wii U's second best-selling title.
In a change of pace from his usual kidnapping routine, Bowser, along with the Koopalings, decides to invade Princess Peach's castle, using a giant mechanical arm to throw Mario, Luigi and two Toads far away. Mario and company must now travel across this new land and find a way to go to the Princess' castle in order to save Peach again. On the way, they encounter each Koopaling, Kamek, Koopa monsters, Nabbit (a thief), Bowser Jr., and some minor enemies found inside levels. By conquering all of them, they inch closer to Peach. The heroes reach Peach's castle, which has been transformed into an evil reflection of Bowser. By defeating Bowser, the castle returns to normal. As the heroes celebrate, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings attempt to escape, almost leaving Bowser behind. He manages to jump up onto the airship, but his weight causes it to crash, and they are forced to flee on Bowser Jr.'s Koopa Clown Car.
