Super Mario World U

Super Mario World U is a 2012 remake of the incredibly popular 1990 SNES title. It will be exclusively for the Wii U (hence the name) and features new 3D graphics. Akin to the original, SMWU plays very similarly, but with added features; including the omission of Reznor (he makes a cameo in the ending credits sequence, however), more power-ups, and the ability to play as not only Mario or Luigi, but also Princess Peach, Toad, and Daisy.

However, they instead have deep gashes for eyes and vampiric teeth and wings, making him similar to a gargoyle. Unlike Fuzzies (who seldom appear in other games, to begin with), they appear in almost every world except World 1 and the final one.
 * Prickly Piranha Plant
 * Pink Boo
 * Clawdaddy
 * Octoomba
 * Chain-Koopa: They are just Koopa Troopa enemies with chain-chomp heads being held over. Can only be defeated with a power-up.

Forms

 * Super Mushroom
 * Fire Flower
 * Bee Mushroom
 * Boo Mushroom
 * Mini Mushroom
 * Starman
 * Cape Feather
 * Ice Flower
 * P-Balloon
 * Spring Mushroom
 * Propeller Mushroom
 * Penguin Suit
 * Rainbow Star
 * Red Star
 * Metal Mushroom
 * Sword Mushroom ^: The character will handle an enormous sword while being dressed like a samurai. This power-up can be used to slash at enemies and/or other obstacles. When hitting a certain block, the icon is a tiny sword.
 * Goomba Mushroom ^: All this powerup really does is transform the character into a generic Goomba. While useless against most enemies, any type of opposing Goomba will see you as one of them (meaning you can't get hit, either). When hitting a certain block, the icon is a Goomba plush doll.
 * Clear Mushroom ^: The character turns invisible for at least two minutes in-game. Walking in lava, touching enemies, and being squished will not affect the played character. When hitting a certain block, the icon is a red washcloth (that just came out of nowhere, folks)
 * Boomerang Mushroom ^: The character brandishes a purple boomerang and can throw the weapon at any direction of the player's choice. Effective when hitting switches, checkpoints, and enemies. When hitting a certain block, the icon is a smaller version of this exact boomerang.
 * Chain Chomp Star ^: Works almost completely like a regular Starman (and to some extent, a Mega Mushroom), except for one difference: a Chain Chomp comes from out of nowhere as you ride it! The player is a force to be reckoned with as he/she can use the played character to eliminate all obstacles and enemies whilst riding the Chain Chomp. Depending on how much you hit, you will earn a certain amount of 1-Ups. When hitting a certain block, the icon is a flashing Chomp that bounces around the screen.
