New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Synopsis:

The game follows the traditional storyline of Princess Peach getting kidnapped by Bowser and his children, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. When Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad are celebrating Princess Peach's birthday in her castle, a large cake rolls in. Immediately, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings pop out and throw the cake on top of Peach, trapping her. The cake is loaded onto Bowser's airship and it takes off, with Mario, Luigi, and the two Toads giving chase. The Toads in the castle then grant them access to the new items, Propeller Mushrooms and Penguin Suits, via a cannon.
After traveling over many worlds fighting the Koopalings, Bowser Jr., and Kamek the Magikoopa, the Mario Bros. and the Toads finally make it to Bowser's fiery lair and quickly defeat him. Afterwards, however, they discover that "Princess Peach" was actually Kamek in a pink dress and yellow wig. He flies over the lava on his broomstick and casts a spell on it. Seconds later, a gigantic Bowser bursts out of the lava, knocking Kamek into the fiery lava below. Bowser then chases Mario and the others through his castle, destroying everything on his path with his fire and strength. At the end of the long pursuit, the heroes find the real Peach trapped in a cage next to a large switch. The player must push the switch and Bowser will fall through the floor in defeat as Peach is released from the cage. She kisses all of the characters that made it to the platform, and then she and Mario walk outside of the castle. They are then greeted by Luigi and the Toads in hot-air balloons, and Luigi offers them his balloon. Unfortunately for him, Princess Peach and Mario leave him behind, forcing him to go with the Toads for the rest of the trip.
The credits are then shown as a mini-game in which the credits can be smashed by the playable characters to get the most coins. After the credits, Larry Koopa is seen limping towards Bowser's fortress, with Bowser Jr. telling him to help him and his siblings flip Bowser the right way. They succeed, but the impact of Bowser's weight causes his unstable castle to fall on top of him, the Koopalings, and Bowser Jr.


This game has the feel of playing the original Super Mario Bros.With a few new thing added such as two new playable characters that sway away from Mario and Luigi as they are both Toads but,come in two different colors yellow and blue.Three new power ups Ice Flowers which,allow you to throw ice balls that freeze enemies frozen enemies can be smashed and picked up and thrown.Propeller Mushroom which will have you shaking your wii-mote to fly.Lastly there is the Penguin Suit that allows you to throw ice like the Ice Flower, slide on your stomach,swim faster and you also do not slide on slippery ice surfaces.In this Mario game you can also ride different colored Yoshis like in Super Mario World.If secrets are your thing there's a gigantic amount of secrets from hidden blocks,pipes and newly added secret walls that you can walk through.There also new gamemodes such as Coin Battle where you try to beat your opponent by collecting the most coins and Free for All where you compete against others for the most kills of enemies,coins and largest score.Throughout the entire game you have to hold the wii-mote sideways which gives you the feeling of the NES.


The graphics on this game leaves you wishing that the Wii was an HD console,but I have to admit throughout me playing this game I've never experienced any framerate lag or frameskipping.At some points of time you will start to see pixels which can make you feel like your playing the orginal 8-bit Mario.

Controls:

I have to say the controls to this game are very easy to master other then shaking the wii-mote for tasks like picking shells and toads up and spinning.1 and 2 are used for Running and Jumping just like A and B were for the NES and the D-Pad is too.




New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a great fame for everyone that loves all the Mario Series.The only thing I can complain about is the graphics and how you need to shake the wii-mote for spinning and picking things up,but all around this is a great game for all Mario Lovers.Since,I love Mario and this is such a good game I give this an 8 out of ten.
