《New 超級瑪利歐兄弟 U 豪華版》（New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe）是任天堂於2019年1月在Switch平台推出的2D橫向卷軸平台動作遊戲，是2012年Wii U平台遊戲《New Super Mario Bros. U》與其追加內容《New Super Luigi U》的合輯強化版本。延續「New」系列的經典玩法，結合豐富的關卡設計與多角色操作，讓玩家在重現傳統瑪利歐風格的同時，也享受到更具挑戰性的冒險。

在劇情方面，沿用系列一貫的設定。故事開始，瑪利歐、路易吉、碧姬公主與奇諾比奧們正在碧姬公主城堡享用午餐，卻突然遭到庫巴與庫巴七人眾襲擊。庫巴用巨大的機械手將他們全數從城堡拋飛至遙遠的地區，然後佔據碧姬公主的城堡。玩家必須操控瑪利歐與他的夥伴們，從遠方展開冒險，橫跨多個主題世界，一路對抗庫巴軍團，最終奪回被佔領的城堡、拯救碧姬公主。雖然劇情並不複雜，卻具備濃厚的經典感與懷舊風味，是熟悉又歡樂的旅程。

操作方面，延續「New」系列的簡易直覺控制，無論是跳躍、踩敵、滑行還是蓄力奔跑都相當流暢，適合各年齡層玩家上手。Switch版本最大的改進之一是角色選擇的多樣化與難度平衡。可以選擇瑪利歐、路易吉、藍色與黃色奇諾比奧，也新增兩名特殊角色：奇諾比珂（Toadette）與納比特（Nabbit）。其中奇諾比珂在取得皇冠道具後可變身為「碧姬公主奇諾比珂（Peachette）」，擁有二段跳與緩降等能力，非常適合初學者使用；納比特則無法被敵人攻擊，是最適合年幼玩家的角色之一，讓全家同樂成為可能。

遊戲內容包含原版《New Super Mario Bros. U》的全數關卡，共八大主題世界，從草原、沙漠、海洋、冰原到雲端與熔岩火山，每個世界各具風格與挑戰性。每個主世界中都有多條分支路線、隱藏關卡與秘密出口，鼓勵玩家反覆探索。而《New Super Luigi U》的內容也完整收錄，該模式中關卡設計更緊湊、時間限制更嚴苛、操作角色為跳躍動作更滑溜的路易吉，為資深玩家提供高難度挑戰。此外，還包括多種輔助與額外模式，例如時間挑戰、幣收集、敵人連打等，增加重玩價值與技巧提升的空間。最多可四人同時遊玩。

在市場評價方面，整體獲得良好的回響。評論普遍肯定遊戲關卡設計的精緻與多樣性，遊戲性經典耐玩，操作回饋細膩，尤其是《New Super Luigi U》的加入讓內容量豐富許多，對於從未玩過Wii U原作的玩家來說更是極具價值。不過也有部分意見指出遊戲本質上仍是過去作品的重製版本，在創新與突破上略顯保守，尤其與《超級瑪利歐 奧德賽》或《超級瑪利歐兄弟 驚奇》這些新作相比，其玩法結構較為傳統。

總結來說，這是穩紮穩打的2D平台遊戲代表作，將經典元素與輕度創新融合，提供豐富的關卡數量與角色選擇。無論是單人體驗還是與親友同樂，它都能提供充滿歡笑與挑戰的遊戲時光。對於從未接觸Wii U版本的玩家而言，是值得補完的系列入門或回歸作品。

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a side-scrolling 2D platformer developed by Nintendo and released for the Nintendo Switch in January 2019. It is an enhanced compilation of the 2012 Wii U title New Super Mario Bros. U along with its DLC expansion New Super Luigi U. The game continues the classic gameplay of the “New” series, combining rich level design with multi-character functionality, allowing players to relive the traditional Mario experience while taking on new and more challenging adventures.

In terms of story, the game sticks closely to the familiar formula of the series. The narrative begins with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and the Toads enjoying lunch at Peach’s Castle when they are suddenly ambushed by Bowser and the Koopalings. Using a massive mechanical arm, Bowser flings the entire group far away from the castle and seizes control of it. Players must take control of Mario and his companions to begin a journey across various themed worlds, battling Bowser's forces along the way and ultimately reclaiming the castle to rescue Princess Peach. While the story is straightforward, it carries a strong sense of nostalgia and classic charm, making for a cheerful and familiar adventure.

Gameplay-wise, the game retains the intuitive and accessible controls of the “New” series. Jumping, stomping enemies, sliding, and sprinting all feel smooth and responsive, making it easy for players of all ages to pick up and play. One of the biggest improvements in the Switch version is the expanded character selection and more balanced difficulty. Players can choose from Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, Yellow Toad, and two new characters: Toadette and Nabbit. Toadette, when equipped with a special crown power-up, transforms into Peachette, gaining abilities like double jumping and gentle gliding, which are especially helpful for beginners. Nabbit, on the other hand, cannot be harmed by enemies, making him ideal for younger or less experienced players. These features open the game up to a broader audience and support enjoyable family-friendly multiplayer sessions.

The game includes all of the levels from the original New Super Mario Bros. U, spread across eight distinct themed worlds—ranging from grassy plains, deserts, oceans, and icy tundras to cloudscapes and lava-filled mountains—each with its own unique style and level of difficulty. Every world contains branching paths, secret exits, and hidden levels that encourage exploration and replayability. The New Super Luigi U expansion is also fully included, offering more compact, time-restricted levels with slipperier controls via Luigi, providing a greater challenge for experienced players.

Additionally, the game offers a variety of extra and assist modes such as time trials, coin collection, and enemy gauntlets, adding further replay value and skill development. It supports up to four players locally for cooperative gameplay, making it an excellent party or family title.

From a critical perspective, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe received generally favorable reviews. Critics praised its polished level design, wide variety of stages, and timeless gameplay mechanics. The inclusion of New Super Luigi U was particularly appreciated, significantly expanding the overall content and offering excellent value, especially for those who never played the original Wii U version. However, some criticism was directed at the game’s lack of innovation. Compared to newer titles like Super Mario Odyssey or Super Mario Bros. Wonder, it was seen as more traditional and conservative in terms of mechanics and presentation.

In summary, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a solid and dependable representative of 2D Mario platformers. It merges classic elements with modest new features, providing a generous number of levels and diverse character options. Whether played solo or with friends and family, the game offers a delightful mix of challenge and charm. For those who missed out on the Wii U original, this is a worthy entry point—or a great return—to the beloved series.
