New Super Luigi U: Difference between revisions

The title was first released on the [[Nintendo eShop]] on [[Wii U]] for region price as downloadable content for ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; the game must be updated to version 1.3.0 before ''New Super Luigi U'' can be accessed in-game, and requires 731.4 MB of memory to be installed. Once downloaded, the prompt to access the Nintendo eShop to download the expansion is replaced with a prompt to go to the main menu for ''New Super Luigi U''. Support for the Wii U Pro Controller is also included in addition to {{button|wii|Wiimote}} and the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} controls in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. The game was later released at retail as a standalone game for region price, not requiring ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' to play. Both games were later released in a compilation known as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U]]'', initially included exclusively in the Mario & Luigi Wii U Deluxe Set bundle, but later released as a standalone [[Nintendo Selects]] disc at a price cheaper than either game individually (the precise price is dependent on the region). This game was also included in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The DLC was later removed from the Wii U eShop due to its discontinuation on March 27th, 2023, making it no longer possible for players to purchase it. However, players who purchased the DLC before this date can still play it as long as it is on their Wii U device.

*[[Mario]] himself is not seen, but he is referenced in three ways; in the intro, in which his hat is on the table, and in the level [[Broozers and Barrels]], which features a Mario-based snowman at the beginning of the stage. Finally, the Mario emblem appears on the [[Luigi Block]]. This makes ''New Super Luigi U'' the only game so far where Luigi appears, but Mario does not.
