New Super Mario Bros. U / Challenges and Nabbit
New Super Mario Bros. U Challenges and Nabbit: extra modes and P-Acorn rewards
Choose an activity by the skill or reward you want.
Edition covered
Original Wii U campaign. Toadette, Peachette and playable Nabbit belong to other editions or New Super Luigi U; they are not playable choices in this base campaign.
Challenges isolate one platforming skill
Short objectives can test time, coins, extra-life chains or special conditions without a full story course.
| Mode | Objective | Practice value |
|---|---|---|
| Time Attack challenge | Meet a time target | Fast movement |
| Coin challenge | Meet collection conditions | Route precision |
| 1-Up challenge | Build a life chain | Enemy-bounce timing |
| Boost Rush | Finish as scrolling accelerates | Control at speed |
| Coin Battle | Beat rivals’ coin totals | Competitive collection |
Boost Rush changes scroll speed
Collecting coins pushes the pace higher. Clean movement is useful, but a careless coin route can make the next obstacle harder.
| Step | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spot the icon | Find his active map course | Start the correct chase |
| Plan the route | Favor forward progress | The thief keeps moving |
| Close the gap | Avoid unnecessary detours | Reach him before the end |
| Collect reward | Store the P-Acorn | Use it on a difficult flight route |
Coin Battle changes the objective
The highest coin total matters, so a route that merely reaches the flag first may not win the contest.
Nabbit chases reward quick interception
Catch the thief before he escapes the course. The P-Acorn reward is consumed as a special flight aid in later play.
