The existence of Category:New Super Luigi U moves is questionable. Remember, New Super Luigi U is a DLC campaign for New Super Mario Bros. U. It uses close to the exact same physics. That means every move from New Super Mario Bros. U is in New Super Luigi U, in the same way every boss battle from New Super Mario Bros. U is in New Super Luigi U, and every song from New Super Mario Bros. U is in New Super Luigi U. The only new move in New Super Luigi U is Luigi's scuttle. That one entry can be moved to the higher level of Category:New Super Luigi U without any fuss.

Also remember that Category:New Super Luigi U bosses, Category:New Super Luigi U worlds, and Category:New Super Luigi U species do not exist, seemingly for similar reasons as this proposal saying Category:New Super Luigi U moves shouldn't exist. They're 100% borrowed from the base New Super Mario Bros. U. Adding one entry shouldn't save the category.

Why do categories like Category:New Super Luigi U enemies and Category:New Super Luigi U objects exist? Well, New Super Luigi U has completely different courses, and the contents of those courses are not 1-1 with their orginal counterparts. Some enemies and objects got left out from the DLC, and therefore having separate categories for those makes sense because they are not the corresponding New Super Mario Bros U. category with one added entry. NIntendo made choices as to which enemies got to stay and which enemies got to go, so New Super Luigi U actually removes sixteen enemies from New Super Mario Bros. U and adds four enemies. The moves of New Super Luigi U were not chosen with intent. They are all in the game because they are all in the game it is DLC for. Therefore, there is no value in having a category for the moves.

I would also like to point out there's nothing stopping Category:New Super Mario Bros. U moves from being both a subcategory of Category:New Super Mario Bros. U and Category:New Super Luigi U, so if we really want to have a list of moves reachable from Category:New Super Luigi U, we can do so. without needing this category to exist.

This proposal will delete Category:New Super Luigi U moves and Category:New Super Luigi U items. What will happen to Scuttle's categorization is not strictly enforced by this proposal, but it will likely end up in Category:New Super Luigi U instead. It will additionally bar the creation of Category:New Super Luigi U music, Category:New Super Luigi U forms, Category:New Super Luigi U bosses, Category:New Super Luigi U worlds, and Category:New Super Luigi U species, as per the proposal's reasoning against the existence of those categories.

EDIT: Prior to 03:20, November 13, 2026 (UTC), this proposal did not affect Category:New Super Luigi U items. It does now.

EDIT: The concept of a Category:New Super Luigi U characters is slightly thornier, due to how New Super Luigi U removes one character from the game and makes no other changes. This isn't as easy to represent as moving Scuttle into the main category for accurately representing the true contents of Category:New Super Luigi U moves. Both due to this and due to how late this is being added to the proposal (22:14, November 13, 2026 (UTC)), the creation of Category:New Super Luigi U characters is unaffected by this proposal.

Proposer: Salmancer (talk)
Deadline: November 26, 2026, 23:59 (UTC)

Support: Delete Luigi U moves categories and restrict listed categories

1. Salmancer (talk) The Year of Luigi ended over a decade ago, L-man. Your caompaign only gets to have the categories it merits.
2. The L Master (talk) Per proposal.
3. SolemnStormcloud (talk) Per proposal.
4. Camwoodstock (talk) If these two categories are literally identical, we don't see why not, especially considering how close-knit both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U are already meant to be. It's kinda in the name. ;P
5. New Super Ba U (talk) Get rid of the redundant stuff.
6. Wilben (talk) Per all.
7. Wandering Plumber (talk) New Super Luigi U is barely even a separate game. It simply doesn't merit receiving something like this.

Comments (New Super Luigi U redundant categories)

So, about Category:New Super Luigi U items... it's actually a near-copy of Category:New Super Mario Bros. U items, only missing Magic Wand and Star Coin—both of which appear in New Super Luigi U. Unless there's something in the game you noticed that no one contributing to Category:New Super Luigi U items did, I think that category should be deleted, too. — SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:57, November 12, 2026 (UTC)

Huh. Well. I've edited the proposal to include deleting it. (Also, Magic Wand should not be in the category at all. The category should be a match for New Super Mario Bros. U#Items, and Magic Wands are not in that section because the player cannot collect them.) Salmancer (talk) 03:20, November 13, 2026 (UTC)
