Release date is Januaary 11!

Deluxe version:
In addition to simply looking better, there are a number of changes and improvements from the original New Super Mario and Luigi U games.

One of the biggest differences is in the character roster. Total, there are five total playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Nabbit, Toad, and Toadette. The Toad you can play as is "Yellow Toad" from the original games, and Blue Toad appears to have been removed and replaced with Toadette.

Toadette is an interesting addition, as she can transform into a character called Peachette by picking up a Super Crown in the game's levels. This gives her Peach-like abilities, such as floating. She's a great character for new players to pick up due to how hard it is for her to fall off the stage. The game also includes a Hints gallery if you find it difficult to make progress, a Super Guide that will finish levels for you, and reference videos for beating levels.

For those who find the game too easy, however, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe includes three new modes: Boost Rush, Challenges, and Coin Battle that offer more complex challenges.

Finally, Luigi fans can rejoice, as all the DLC content from New Super Luigi U is also available for free, on launch.

My understanding is the Deluxe refers to the fact that they've bundled the Luigi game mode. Not new levels, just new game mode (I think you have to go through it quicker). I don't think there's a standard version. Nintendo is terrible at naming games.

There is only one version of the game. It's got "Deluxe" in the title because it's a port of the 2012 Wii U game which also includes the "New Super Luigi U" DLC as well as a few other minor tweaks and additions.

The Standard Edition didn't include the Luigi U content, and it came out early in the Wii U's run. The only version available on the Switch is the Deluxe edition.

Honestly, we haven't been able to find any differences yet. Granted, we are only a few worlds into the game and we haven't played the original version in a few years now, but it all looks the same to me, and my children haven't mentioned any differences either. We have the original game for the Wii U and I do kind of wish that we hadn't wasted the money to buy it for the Switch.

Bumpy · Answer

The standard edition was released for the WiiU. It later had DLC released for it. The game was remastered for the Switch and released for the system with the DLC as part of it.

Krisco813 · Answer

There is no such thing as a standard edition it's simply deluxe edition for the switch due to all the content previously before this one put into one giant game.

BrianS · Answer

This version of the game is called Deluxe because it allows you to play as two new characters and is packaged with New Super Luigi U, a harder version of the game.

The Switch version is the deluxe version. There’s no “standard” version on Switch.

Smooth · Answer

There’s only one version fir the switch. Not sure why there was two listings. Deluxe refers to additions made for the switch, but there’s only one switch version.

Dang69 · Answer

There is no standard edition. This is a re-release of a WiiU game so they just slapped a Deluxe on it because it includes a Luigi mode.

John · Answer

Digital version is downloaded and stored in the console memory, where a standard edition is an actual game card that you insert into the console.
