Luigi Takes the Spotlight in New Super Luigi U
Released in 2013, New Super Luigi U is a downloadable expansion pack for New Super Mario Bros. U that puts Luigi front and center as the playable character. With over 80 new courses, unique physics, and the addition of Nabbit as a playable character, New Super Luigi U offers a challenging and rewarding experience for platformer fans.
Luigi’s Unique Abilities
One of the key features that sets New Super Luigi U apart from its predecessor is Luigi’s unique abilities. Luigi has always been known for his higher jump and floaty physics, and these traits are amplified in New Super Luigi U. Luigi can jump higher and float in the air for longer periods of time than Mario, which opens up new possibilities for platforming and exploration.
In addition, Luigi has a new move in New Super Luigi U called the “Luigi Slide.” This move allows Luigi to slide under obstacles and through narrow passages, adding another layer of depth to the gameplay.
Challenging and Rewarding Levels
The levels in New Super Luigi U are designed to be more challenging than those in New Super Mario Bros. U. The courses are shorter and more linear, with a greater emphasis on precision platforming. There are also more hidden areas and secrets to discover, rewarding players who take the time to explore.
Despite the increased difficulty, the levels in New Super Luigi U are also incredibly rewarding to master. Each course is designed to be completed in under 100 seconds, and there are bonus challenges for completing courses with a certain number of lives remaining or without taking any damage. This level of replayability ensures that players will get plenty of enjoyment out of New Super Luigi U.
Nabbit Joins the Fun
Another new addition to New Super Luigi U is Nabbit, who joins Mario, Luigi, and Toad as a playable character. Nabbit is unique in that he is invincible to enemies and obstacles. This makes him a great choice for players who are struggling with the game’s more challenging levels.
However, Nabbit is not without his drawbacks. He cannot use power-ups, and he cannot collect Star Coins. This means that players who want to complete the game 100% will need to use the other characters.
Miiverse Integration
New Super Luigi U also integrates with the Miiverse social network. Players can share their triumphs and challenges with the community, and they can even download and play levels created by other users. This adds an extra layer of replayability to the game and helps to create a sense of community among players.
Overall
New Super Luigi U is an excellent expansion pack that offers a challenging and rewarding experience for platformer fans. Luigi’s unique abilities, the challenging levels, and the addition of Nabbit make this game a must-play for anyone who enjoyed New Super Mario Bros. U.
