Added DiffLines:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Every course has a time limit of 100 seconds. Some courses would be cutting close or are even impossible to clear in just 100 seconds unless you speed run every course. Anticipating the difficulty with the timer, the developers made the timer run 35% slower in comparison to the previous titles in the ''New'' franchise.

''New Super Luigi U'' is a PlatformGame in the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series, originally released as {{DLC}} for ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU''.

* NoFairCheating: Averted. In single-player mode, holding ZL ([=GamePad=]/Pro Controller) or B (Wii Remote) when entering courses will let you play as Nabbit, who is immune to all enemy attacks. You can make actual progress with him and the game will not fault you for it. The only real penalty is that the inability to use powerups may prevent you from collecting some Star Coins with him.

* TheGhost: Mario. The only references he gets here is his cap inexplicably taking his place in the opening cutscene, the Miiverse letter recipient being changed from Bowser to Mario, and [[spoiler:the "M" blocks that show up in every course after beating the game, which changes the physics to that of Mario when you hit them (i.e. lower jump, better traction)]]. This effectively marks this game as the only [[Advertising/TheYearOfLuigi Year of Luigi]] game in which Mario doesn't actually appear (he's the other main character in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'', and shows up towards the end of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' as a DistressedDude). The ''NSMBU Deluxe'' version averts this by allowing the player to play as Mario within the ''NSLU'' courses.

* GameMod: About as close as official content is going to get. The world map and music is the same, each level uses the mechanics that were in place in the original level but with a totally new design, the levels tend to be short, but the length varies, they tend to be hard, but the difficulty varies, the bosses are the same but sometimes their arenas are changed... this isn't a bad thing though, as the new levels are well-designed and find new ways to implement existing features.
