New Super Mario Bros. U

Side-scrolling platformer where Mario runs, jumps, and power-ups his way across the Mushroom Kingdom to reclaim Peach's castle from Bowser. The Flying Squirrel suit—grabbed from Super Acorns—lets you glide and cling to walls, adding vertical options to familiar left-to-right levels. Boost Mode uses the GamePad: a second player taps the screen to drop platforms mid-jump, turning solo runs into cooperative chaos or making tricky sections more forgiving. Challenge modes test specific skills outside the main campaign. Expect familiar 2D Mario structure—world map, secret exits, coin hunts—with updated visuals that layer 3D models over flat movement. Works if you want classic platforming with one new traversal trick and optional touch-screen help.
