'''''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''''' is a side-scrolling {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|platform]] | '''''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''''' is a side-scrolling {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on January 11, 2019; it is the last ''Super Mario'' game to be released during the {{wp|Heisei era}} of Japan, coming out three and a half months before the abdication of emperor {{wp|Akihito}}. It is a [[Reissue#Ports|port]] of the 2012 [[Wii U]] launch title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It contains both the base game and the ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' DLC. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] (both generically named Toad in this game), and [[Nabbit]] all return as playable characters from the original Wii U title while this game introduces a new playable character, [[Toadette]], who makes her playable debut in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games and replaces Blue Toad in the story. She has a unique form known as [[Peachette]], which she obtains after grabbing a new item called the [[Super Crown]]. The Peachette form grants her abilities similar but not identical to those of the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]]. | ||

**The [[Super Crown]] is added as a new power-up exclusively for Toadette. Toadette becomes Peachette after touching the Super Crown, which allows her to float and double jump, similar to the [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]] (but with a more versatile aerial movement), and avoid falling into fatal objects. However, unlike the Flying Squirrel form, she cannot cling on to walls and she will not descend significantly when turning.
