* CutsceneIncompetence: ZigZagged. When Bowser Jr. attacks with the giant claw after his fights, the characters simply get out of the way instead of just standing there. But in the opening cutscene, they just watched in alarm as it moved Peach to the side and beat them senseless.

In 2019, ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', an UpdatedRerelease for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, was released. It bundles the original game and ''New Super Luigi U'' and adds Toadette as a playable character, giving her a new form called "Peachette", who plays similarly to Peach. It also removes the "Boost mode" from the game, due to the Nintendo Switch lacking a second screen like the Wii U.

* ArtifactTitle: The port to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch retains the ''[[SuperTitle64Advance U]]'' in the name, despite the game no longer being on the UsefulNotes/WiiU.

The plot is pretty barebones as per usual for the sub-series, but offers an interesting twist on the typical formula; rather than just kidnap Peach, Bowser has decided to straight up invade her castle and take over, and for good measure, literally throws Mario, Luigi and the Yellow and Blue Toads out several miles away. Our heroes must once again traverse across the lands to get back to Peach’s Castle and liberate it from Bowser.
