Item

The Poison Mushroom debuted in this game. Its appearance was very similar to the Super Mushroom but with darker colors, much like in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Music

The track "Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels Medley" is one of the default choices in Mushroom Kingdom U. However, despite its title, all the tracks in the medley originated in the prior Super Mario Bros.

Miscellaneous

Luigi’s trademark higher jumping ability and slippery traction debuted in this game, as he functioned like a palette swap of Mario in Super Mario Bros.

Bowser's blue alternate costume in Super Smash Bros. 4 is based on Blue Bowser who appears in World 8-4 in this game.
