Mushroom Kingdom U[1] (マリオUワールド, Mario U World) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Stage layout
This stage possesses several different layouts; it switches between them when Kamek appears and casts a spell.
Acorn Plains: the starting version, set in a grassland. Features a large main platforms with three smaller soft platforms above.
Rock-Candy Mines: set in the mountains, it features a single rock platform balanced on the tip of a spire; the platform balances like a lever.
Meringue Clouds: set above pink clouds, features two walled platforms separated by a pit, with floating platforms above the pit and the right platform.
Slide Lift Tower: set in the inside of a tower, features two solid blocks which move along a rectangular rail. In their movement the blocks rub onto each other, and are able to push fighters and items.
Several other elements and hazards can appear on the stage, independently of the current stage variation:
- a giant beanstalk which sprouts from the background and grow branches and leaves, which players can use as platforms. The beanstalk disappears after some time.
- droplets of water which fall from the sky, soon followed by a giant icicle that freezes any player who touches it while it is falling. After striking the ground, icicles serve as platforms which can be damaged and destroyed by attacks.
- water geysers which spout upwards, acting as extra platforms. Players who touch them will be lifted up. Some of these geysers carry damaging Big Urchins on top of them.
- various sets of Stretch Blocks, small blocks which act as solid platforms can autonomously stretch horizontally.
- several Tower-themed soft platforms which traverse the stage horizontally.
Nabbit shows up periodically when the stage transforms. He chases after players and tries to catch them in his bag; once he traps a player he attempts to blast off smoke towards the upper blast line, much like the Beetle and Boss Galaga items. Nabbit is treated as a fighter, and therefore is vulnerable to attacks, grabs, and items - he even takes knockback proportional to damage - and can be defeated by being launched beyond the blast lines.
Ω Form
The Omega version is only set in the Acorn Plains portion of the stage. Star KOs can occur.
Tournament Legality
Mushroom Kingdom U is banned from tournaments due to its several disruptive hazards such as icicles, Big Urchins, and Nabbit.
Origin
This stage a combination of several stages from New Super Mario Bros. U. The main stage variations are based on its first world, Acorn Plains, its sixth world, Rock-Candy Mines, its seventh world, Meringue Clouds, and the various tower levels, particularly the Slide Lift Tower.
Water geysers, with or without Big Urchins on top, are common in the world Sparkling Waters, while falling icicles which can be used as platforms appear in Frosted Glacier. The beanstalk originates from the Sparkling Waters hidden level: Skyward Stalk.
Kamek is a high-ranking member of Bowser's army and one of the main antagonists in the Yoshi series, a Magikoopa who, in the recent New Super Mario Bros. games, appears at the beginning of boss battles to transform the arena.
Nabbit first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U. He is a rabbit thief who steals items from Toad Houses: players then can chase him across levels to retrieve the stolen items, being rewarded with a P-Acorn upon capture. Nabbit also appears to take the prize in enemy courses if players do not retrieve it in time.
Trivia
- Despite Olimar's Final Smash freezing the stage when it is used, Icicles will continue to fall.
