New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the latest platforming game in the Super Mario series and the first Mario side-scrolloing platform game for a console since Super Mario World 2 for the SNES. In this Wii addition of Super Mario Bros., four individual players can play together as Mario, Luigi and two Toads.
Gameplay
The gameplay is primarily similar to that of the original New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, with several key changes, including that of multiplayer gameplay.
Multiplayer
Up to four players can play a level together. If players die in the game, they are suspended from gameplay until another player pops a bubble that their fellow character is suspended in. Players can pick up other players and throw them, a technique that can be implemented both cooperatively and competitively. At the end of each level, players are scored on their performance based on collecting coins, beating enemies and how fast they complete the level.
Power-Ups
Three additional power-ups have been added to the Mario Bros. arsenal. The Ice Flower from Super Mario Galaxy allows characters to freeze enemies as does the new Penguin Suit. The Propeller suit allows Mario and others to preform spinning jumps and fly. Yoshis have also been added into the game and serve generally the same purpose as they did in Super Mario World.
Super Guide
A Super Guide, which allows players to skip sections of the game they can't beat, has been added into the game to make it easier. Activating the super guide will show a computer playing as Luigi how to beat the level with option of trying again. The guide can be used only after the player has died eight times.
