USA May 15, 2006
Nintendo DS
New Super Mario Bros. is the tenth installment in the Super Mario series. It starts out when Bowser Jr. kidnaps Peach during a strange accident. Luigi is playable in this game as well. Luigi was not playable since Super Mario World. This is the first game since Super Mario World that features the classic 2D playstyle of the Super Mario Bros. games, substantially building upon it to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game called Mario vs. Luigi, and a minigame mode for up to four players. It introduced various enemies and obstacles to the franchise alongside new power-ups: the Mega Mushroom, Mini Mushroom, and Blue Shell. It was released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS. It spiraled an indirect follow-up, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and, later, a direct sequel, New Super Mario Bros. 2, alongside another indirect follow-up, New Super Mario Bros. U.

Wii
Being the indirect follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released on November 12, 2009, in Australia. This installment includes four players simultaneously controlling their characters, a feature Shigeru Miyamoto had wanted for years. This game also returns the Koopalings, absent since Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, in their first 3D models. In the story, Bowser and his minions kidnap Peach by using cake as a disguise. Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad travel to eight worlds to save the princess. This game also reintroduces rideable Yoshis, although they can be ridden in only a few levels. The Penguin Suit and the Propeller Mushroom are new power-ups in this game. This game also includes the Super Guide, a demo video for those who are struggling in a particular level.

Nintendo 3DS
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is another side-scroller in the series released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the third game in the New Super Mario Bros. line and a direct sequel to New Super Mario Bros. The game features an extremely large number of coins, which are the game's main focus, with the primary goal being to collect one million. The game also notably is very similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, reusing various things from it, while also featuring several elements from Super Mario Bros. 3, such as Raccoon Mario. A new power-up called the Gold Flower appears and turns Mario into Gold Mario.
New Super Mario Bros. U

Wii U
New Super Mario Bros. U is a side-scroller released for the Wii U alongside the console's launch. The game features some elements from Super Mario World, such as an interconnected world map, Baby Yoshis, Sumo Bros., and Bony Beetles, and minor references such as diagonal pipes making a return. The game plays very similarly to New Super Mario Bros. Wii with its four-player mode—however, a player with a Wii U GamePad can create platforms in what Nintendo refers to as "Boost Mode." Additionally, the game also features single-player Challenges. It is the first Super Mario game to be released in high-definition. The game also introduces the Super Acorn power-up, with which Mario can become Flying Squirrel Mario.

Players can choose between four different styles based on Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U for their levels, each adapting certain mechanics and power-ups exclusive to the original games. Level creations could be submitted to the internet so players could share their levels worldwide. Super Mario Maker was released on time for the series' 30th anniversary.

It was released first on iOS in December 2016, and it was released for Android in March 2017. The game is free-to-start, with optional in-app content to purchase at a one-time fee.

2011
Wii U
New Super Mario Bros. Mii was an "experience" tech demo shown at E3 2011 for the Wii U. It is based on New Super Mario Bros. Wii and contains new levels, as well as the option for players to use their Miis. This demo was meant to demonstrate the "Off-TV Play" capability of the Wii U, allowing the player to continue playing a game on the Wii U GamePad without having to use a television screen. Players were able to play for up to ten minutes before the game would automatically reset. While the game was only exhibited to show gameplay experience using the controller of the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is "based on" New Super Mario Bros. Mii. Essentially, that means that New Super Mario Bros. Mii became New Super Mario Bros. U.
