As we mentioned in an earlier post, the selling point for us with the Nintendo Wii Red console bundle was the fact that we also got the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game with the purchase. Being a fan of the original 3 Super Mario Bros. games from the old NES, having new worlds for Mario to conquer and more intrigued us.
The feel of the game was very familiar, especially by holding the Wii remote sideways – giving it a feel of the old system. And, we are visited by some of the original “bad guys” which try to stand in our way like the goombas and troopa koopas. But, we had a new arsenal to fight them off. We have the fire power of old, but there have been several additions for Mario and friends to take advantage of such as Propeller Mario, which helps Mario to fly via shaking the Wii remote. And the opposite of the fire power is now prevalent, with Mario now being able to gain the power to throw ice, which freezes the enemies for a time. Penguin Mario gives him the ability to walk on the ice without slipping (which is first seen inWorld 3). Mini Mario is helpful in travelling though some of the small pipes that are seen in later worlds.
One of the highlights of this game is the fact that you can have some help in getting through the worlds. New Super Mario Bros. Wii gives you the opportunity to work with up to three of your friends, with the multi-player option. The multi-player option can prove to be difficult (especially for me and members of my family). But, the one good thing about having more players is the world does not end when your lives are up. Yoshi returns in this game, although in brief fashion. But, he does prove helpful, as Mario can ride him through certain worlds and pick up the enemies with Yoshi’s tongue.
All in all, this game is exactly what old school Nintendo lovers needs for their Wii console. This game gives us the opportunity to relive some of our childhood, by battling Bowser and his kids. We have had a great time playing this game for hours on end.
