New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Amazon.com Product Description
Developers at Nintendo have dreamed of creating a simultaneous multiplayer Super Mario Bros. game for decades. The Wii console finally makes that dream come true for everyone with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Supporting 2-4 players in side-scrolling co-op and competitive platforming action, and featuring a mix of fan favorites and new characters, new powerups and various input options via the Wii Remote, it is destined to become an instant classic in one of the most beloved game franchises of all-time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii, like all the previous releases in the Super Mario Bros. franchise is a side-scrolling platforming game where players collect coins as they attempt to make their way through progressively more difficult game levels using their ability to time jumps over obstacles and avoid a slew of enemies. But although the game contain several well-deserved nods to previous games in the series in the form of iconic characters like Mario, Luigi and two Toads, as well as familiar enemies, sound effects and levels, it is not simply another trip down Mario Bros. memory lane. Taking advantage of the flexibility and power of the Wii and Wii Remote, New Super Mario Bros. Wii manages to preserve the retro experience that fans love about the series, while adding new game features. Notable additions among these include, expansive play levels and new powerups and characters, but by far the most important, and in fact game-defining new feature is simultaneous multiplayer. A Franchise First: Simultaneous Multiplayer
Since the very first Super Mario Bros. game took the world by storm in the late 1980s gamers anxious to get into the action have patiently and impatiently waited their turn as the infamous 'player 2.' Those days are no more. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii players can now navigate the side-scrolling worlds alone as before or invite up to three others to join them at the same time, on the same level, at any point in the game for competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun. With the multiplayer mode, the newest installment of the most popular video game franchise is designed to bring yet another type of family entertainment into living rooms and engage groups of friends in fast-paced Super Mario Bros. fun. Controller Choices Via the Wii Remote
In another nod to the series' Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) roots, the Wii Remote controller used with New Super Mario Bros. Wii is held sideways, allowing for easy, classic inputs using the D-pad to direct playable characters, the 1 button to jump and 2 button to spit out projectiles like snowballs and fireballs. In addition, players can access powerups with their choice of either the push of a button, or by shaking the Wii remote, again demonstrating the perfect merging of classic gameplay and modern game design which is New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Key Game Features - New Super Mario Bros. Wii offers a combination of cooperation and competition. Players can pick each other up to save them from danger or toss them into it.
- Supports 2-4 players in multiplayer mode.
- Mario, Luigi and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game. Players can even ride different Yoshi characters and use their tongues to swallow enemies – or their fellow players.
- In some areas, players use the motion abilities of the Wii Remote controller. The first player to reach a seesaw might make it tilt to help his or her character reach a higher platform – and then tilt it incorrectly just to mess with other players.
- New items include the propeller suit, which will shoot players high into the sky with just a shake of the Wii Remote and Mario’s new ability to transform into Penguin Mario.
- At the end of each stage during the simultaneous multiplayer mode, players are ranked based on their score, the coins collected and the number of enemies defeated.

 Problem saving the games....frustrated November 19, 2009

It started ok but then I realized that I was not able to save wherever I wanted. If I die before I beat the castle, I will be brought back to the starting point of the level....The Quick Save just doesn't work effectively at all. This really frustrates me and I decided to stop and sell the game :-(
 Welcome back, Mario Brothers. November 19, 2009

Wow. I just got this game from Amazon and I am extremely pleased with everything! New Super Mario Bros. Wii takes every past Mario classic and combines them together to make the best platformer to date. Mario has access to a ton of new power-ups and also some awesome new moves. I've noticed that Mario moves a lot like he did in Mario 64 which is great. He can do the triple jump, butt-smash, spin jump from Super Mario World, slide down hills, and much much more. Everything about this game is fluid and smooth. The graphics are very crisp and clean, but they obviously don't compare to Super Mario Galaxy. This is no big deal because Nintendo wasn't focusing on making top-notch graphics, but instead classic and challenging gameplay. There are lots of enemies, and many little Nintendo touches that make this game memorable already. The World Map is much like Super Mario Bros. 3, but is slightly reminiscent of Super Mario World, also. Many of the criticisms that I've read don't seem apparent to me when playing this game. Mario moves different, but definitely not like a "tank." NSMBW is far from boring, and each level has so many secrets waiting to be found. Single player is fun all by itself, so if you are worried about not getting this game because you "don't have friends," don't think twice. It's worth it no matter what your situation. If you didn't like Mario games before, this is the perfect game to start with. Again, I am so impressed with what Nintendo has done with this one and I can't say enough to try and convince everyone that this game deserves Game of the Year. Forget all of the lazy reviews - this game is getting underrated scores for things that aren't even necessary. Online multiplayer wouldn't be nearly as fun as local multiplayer, and this is a game that many critics are deciding should have a lower score because of certain things they want coming into the game. Play the game for yourself and decide. Thank you very much, Nintendo, for this instant classic. Welcome back, Mario.
Love it! November 18, 2009

So much fun! I beat Paper Mario in less that 2 days and this is going on our 4th day so it definitely provides hours of fun. And it's great being able to play the game with my husband at the same time. Loves it!
Fun for both of us November 18, 2009

My wife and I have played through worlds one and two, and we are both really enjoying the game. The game is a very good combination of challenge and fun, and we've found ourselves laughing out loud at the fun and intensity of the experience more than once.

I loved the original Nintendo Super Mario Brothers game and was excited to see this coming out for the WII. My six year old loves the WII but he mostly plays games like Melee that I am NOT interested in playing or really even watching. I wanted more games that he and I could play together since he is still at an age where he wants my attention and I know that won't last forever.
We purchased this game last weekend and have been having a blast. You can have up to four players (two toads, Mario, and Luigi) and you can play cooperatively or not as you like. My son picked up the controls readily and is a far greater player than I am but I can hold my own since it is similar to the original and I was an expert at that in my day. We play together as a team and are making our way through the levels with great glee and much laughter. I love the familiarity of this game, it is very reminiscent of the original with some great new ideas, levels, and features. We especially love getting helicopter hats!
Two really great features of the game that I love are:
-when you have lost all your lives you can start from your last save point with 5 lives rather than having to start all the way back at the beginning:)
-you can add or drop players throughout the game so if I have to go make dinner he can drop me out and keep playing without me then later he can add me back in to the level he is playing
I would recommend this game highly, especially if you played on the original Nintendo back in the day.
