[Wii] New Super Mario Bros Wii

No online multiplayer is a disappointment, but the game is still pretty fun. If you can get some local multiplayer going with some buddies, the game becomes more difficult since you can bounce off of your friends' heads or pretty much screw them over. Hey, I thought it was difficult with 2 players, so I couldn't imagine 4 people going through some of these levels.

The sickest part of this game is the fact that you can spend your star coins on movies in the castle at world 1 and while some help out with how to obtain certain star coins in a level, there are movies that are pretty much skill videos in the game showing what kind of stuff can be pulled off in certain levels. If any of you get this game, I encourage you to at least get the skill video from World 1-3.

Overall, if you have a Wii you need to at least give this game a try. It's definitely a lot of fun.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

After beating the game, it will let you save anywhere so you can get the star coins. I just completed the game 100% with my bro today and I believe this is the best side-scrolling Mario game I've played since the Super Mario World series on SNES. The game lures you into a false sense of security by letting you pass the first couple of worlds with ease, then ups the difficulty a little in the next worlds, and then gets very evil in the last few worlds. Some of the music is a letdown, but the rest is good stuff especially in the castle levels and boss battles.

The hint videos remind me of speed demos on various games in the sense that they're awesome, but they're sickening. There's nothing worse than completing a tough level, then going back to the castle and seeing a "Super Skills" video of that same level you just completed and how easy it can be completed.

How ya doing, buddy?
