Super Mario Bros is back! And this time he brings along others to help. This game is very fun, but one of the best features is the multiplayer. In most Mario games (or at least the ones I've played) you must be playing on one player mode to progress or get unlockables etc, but in this game, you can play with up to three friends to progress to higher levels.
The game isn't insanely hard, but some levels are harder than others. One thing I don't like is that some levels in higher worlds are easier that those in lower worlds. Another thing I don't like is that if you find a world cannon, you can blast off to two to four worlds ahead. That will allow people who stumble across the secret flag that grants access to the cannon to skip worlds instead of doing the long and tedious process of completing all the levels in a row.
Another con is the bosses. The bosses are not hard enough. I've played the original Super Mario Brothers 3 and its bosses are a lot harder than this. Even the boss whose bolts of energy follow you is not too hard. If you come with a friend or two you can take turns jumping on the boss. Here is what usually happens: Yellow toad jumps on boss. Boss spins in shell, all members dodge. Mario jumps on boss, all members dodge again. Boss makes energy. Luigi chucks Blue toad into energy. Blue toad dies. Blue toad player punches Luigi player, etc. To top this off, the only boss that is hard is Bowser who isn't hard until Magikoopa turns him giant. On random occasions you will battle Bowser Jr., but to get to him, you must do an airship level.
One pro is you have an arsenal of powerups such as: fire flower, ice flower, helicopter hat, micro mushroom, superstar, penguin suit, and (of course) mushroom. All of these can be collected from toad houses and put in your inventory. This is a fun game overall, but I would recomend a game with more koopa troopas in it. This is one of Nintendo's greatest games.
It has great music aka all the classic tunes, and good graphics. This game is worth getting although a little over priced.

Gameplay
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.
