New Super Mario Bros. U

New Super Mario Bros. U is an upcoming side-scrolling platform game for the Wii U. It will be the fourteenth title in the main Super Mario series and the ninth installment in the Super Mario Bros. series. The game was fully revealed by Reggie Fils-Aime at E3 2012. The game slightly resembles Super Mario World, as it features Baby Yoshis, diagonal pipes and similar mountains in the background. The game introduces the Flying Squirrel power-up, acquired by Mario and his friends by an acorn-shaped Mushroom.
