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

Wacky new powerups View larger. 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 FeaturesNew 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.
