Plattformstiteln #New Super Mario Bros. U får ett nytt spelläge i form av Nabbit, avslöjar #Nintendo. Nabbit är både en figur och namnet på ett spelsätt, där figuren Nabbit ibland stjäl saker av Toad på spelets världskarta. Om spelarna kan få tillbaka sakerna belönas de med en P-vinge som ger Mario möjligheten att flyga igenom en hel bana.

Den så kallade P-vingen är en välkänd Super Mario-powerup som tidigare setts till i exempelvis NES-titeln #Super Mario Bros. 3. Nedan ser du ett kort filmklipp från det nya spelläget.

Ett pressmeddelande från Nintendo innehåller fler information om vilka nyheter du kan vänta dig i det kommande Wii U-spelet.

  • Challenge Mode: Challenge Mode tasks players with completing specific objectives, such as clearing a course without touching a single coin or touching the ground. There are four single-player Challenge categories: Time Attack, Coin Collection, 1-Up Rally and Special (miscellaneous challenges). Boost Mode Challenges require two players, with one player using the Wii U GamePad controller and the other using a Wii Remote controller. Once players complete a Challenge, the game saves a replay of the action so players can show off their accomplishments.

  • Coin Battle: Up to five players can play together and compete to see who can collect the most coins. One player will use the Wii U GamePad controller while the other four players use the Wii Remote controller. The player using the Wii U GamePad controller in Boost Mode can place Boost Blocks to help grab hard-to-reach coins. Players can also use the GamePad to edit and customize the coin layout in courses found only in Coin Battle. The coin layout can then be saved and played by the players using Wii Remote controllers.

  • World Map: New Super Mario Bros. U is the first side-scrolling Mario game since 1991’s Super Mario World that features a seamless World Map with named worlds and courses. The map contains many secret exits, which might change the map and cause shortcuts to appear. The worlds are interconnected, so people can play through the game in a nonlinear fashion.

New Super Mario Bros. U släpps den 30 november, samtidigt som Wii U får svensk premiär.
