Flying Squirrel Ovation, or Superstar Road-9, is the final level of Superstar Road in New Super Luigi U, as well as the final level in the game. It is unlocked when Luigi collects every previously obtainable Star Coin in Superstar Road. This is the only level which set in a completely different background, tileset and music from its New Super Mario Bros. U counterpart; in this case, Follow That Shell!.
In the Wii U version of the game, this is the only level in which Nabbit is not playable in the single-player mode after entering the level while holding 
(
on the Wii Remote). Instead, the player becomes a Mii with Luigi's outfit, making this the only level where Miis are playable. This is because Nabbit cannot use the Flying Squirrel Suit, which the level is designed around. In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, while Nabbit can be played in this level by selecting him through the menu, it is incredibly difficult to complete this level as him. However, it is possible, by using multiple Ground Pound cancel twirls to air stall.[citation needed]
Layout[edit]
At first, Luigi starts out on a large platform of Brick Blocks with four ? Blocks on above, all containing Super Acorns. Once all of them are collected, the Brick Blocks start to fall away, leaving floating platforms underneath, which soon fall away as well. Luigi must then fly down through the level, avoiding Waddlewings and collecting masses of coins which appear. Then, Luigi comes to a Warp Pipe that leads to the Goal Pole as well as a cardboard cutout of Luigi.
Star Coins[edit]

The second Star Coin is found floating between a row of Waddlewings and circles of coins. |

The third Star Coin is located behind a cloud, and falls down once Luigi gets near it. |
Luigi sightings[edit]
- A giant 8-bit Luigi is visible in the background before the exit Warp Pipe. After the Warp Pipe, there is a cardboard cutout of Luigi riding on Yoshi, with a hole where Luigi's face is for the characters to stick their faces through. This is the only level in the game with two Luigi sightings.
