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.

New Classic Game March 5, 2010

It was exciting to see an "old" game be made "new"! I couldn't wait to play it! It was difficult at first turning the controller sideways, but after the first play, I was hooked! Has subtle differences from the old game (ie-when it's on 2 players, the second player starts where you are not at the beginning like the old one). However, my son's, my husband, and myself (who are big fans of the old Mario Brothers) still enjoyed it none the less.
Great game. March 4, 2010
M. Sullivan
Let me start by saying that I have read most of the reviews that have been posted on this game. I read all the 1 and 2 stars as well and do not agree with most anything witten in most of them. I have read about the sloppy controls, the lack of a save feature, the lack of charactor choices, the crappy graphics, and insane difficulty levels. I have not been a fan of Mario games produced after Super Mario 64 because I did not like the game play, controls and view. I also have not been a big fan of the Wii system as I thought the controls were a pain with regular games. (Excluding interactive ones like baseball and bowling, ect..)
This game has changed all of that. I bought a Wii JUST FOR THIS GAME, as it is the first real Mario game since Super Mario World was introduced with the SNES. I grew up with Mario Bros. games, and they are, to me, the greatest games. I actually got a BRAND NEW NES "Regular Nintendo" for my birthday in 1985. This game combines the best elements of Mario Bros 1, 3, and World for SNES, adds hints of Mario 64 and produces a great level of play.
First I will adress the controls: They are almost identical to classic Mario. The left, right, run and jump are all exactly the same. They do add a few new features like tilting and shaking the remote, but this just adds to the game. By no means are these controls "Difficult," "Sloppy," or "Unpredictable." If you find them so, either change the batteries in your remote, or there is something wrong with your remote or you.
Second: No it does not have the best save feature, but the claims mentioned are highly exaggerated. You can save just fine with it, but not as easily as you could with SNES's World.
Third: Lack of charactor choices?? There are four players and four choices. Mario Bros. typically had 2 and 2. Granted, instead of 2 Toads, they could have picked another charactor from Mario, but really, is it that big of a deal? I will say that the rumors about the programming cut backs bieng the reason for not using daisy are retarded. If that is indeed the reason, then yeah, Nintendo made a bad choice.
Fouth: Too hard?? Insanely difficult?? I played this game for over four hours the first night I owned it and got past level 5. I also had over 60+ lives by the end of the first world. How much easier do you need it? I am by no means a "Gamer." I really dont play them much since the SNES days. There were a few parts that were difficult, but not insanely so.
Over all I think that this game is an excellent production. I do find some faults in it, hence the 4/5 stars. This game is drastically too short and under complicated for those that want to do more than simply beat it. SM World was great because there were so many hidden features and things that you could unlock. Or you could simply play through and beat it. I must have beaten it 1000 times, but I dont think that I ever completed it. This one, what you see is what you get for the most part. In that aspect it is too much like the original. Given the capabilities of the Wii system, I expected a bit more. I still thoughly enjoy this game and am glad that Nintendo has remembered why they were number 1 from 1985 until 2000. (They didnt produce and competitive consols after the N64.) I now enjoy Nintendo products again and will be using the download feature on the Wii to purchase the classic games I grew up with.
