Work with or against friends in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii! But will the new multiplayer action work with or against this classic formula?

Rating:5

Price: $49.99

ESRB Rating: E for Everyone


Whether you are new player who has never beaten a Mario game or a super Mario player, you will be able to enjoy the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game with anyone. While featuring great graphics, music and action along with its wonderful levels and gameplay, the latest Mario game also adds in four person multiplayer.


Super Marios

Playable characters include the brothers Mario and Luigi as well as two Toads. Peach and Wario, unfortunately, are not playable. What is included, however, are two new power ups: the Propeller hat and the Penguin suit.


With four characters, you can enjoy the game with your friends and family. In multiplayer, you can work together to finish the level or take advantage of your fellow players to further your own goals. For example, if you do not think that you can make a particular jump, you can wait until someone else tries it and then jump off their head, sending them plummeting to their death while you land safely.


Super Guides

In the single player mode, if you are faced with a difficult level and find yourself dying a lot, the game will kick in and offer to give you a helping hand. It will actually play the level for you so that you can move on! This is a great feature for newer players who may find the game to be a bit too classic.


There are also Super Guides that you can unlock with the giant coins you find in each level. These are videos of the game's developers showing off their skills — skills that you may gain one day too!


Super Great

If you love the New Super Mario Bros. game on the DS, you already know that you will love this. The game is a perfect mix of classic and new features. It is a great game to enjoy with friends and family.
