[Wii] New Super Mario Bros Wii

I've had this game since last week, living in Australia and all. Beaten Worlds 1-6 with all the star coins found and I've beaten the other Worlds, but not found all the coins.

First thing, online multiplayer would not work in this game, unless it was in some gimped form, but definitely not the main game. There's just too much stuff going on, especially in the later levels. With the way the game is designed, all the tricky jumps and avoiding enemies, it would be impossible if there was even the slightest lag.

The game is a blast though, especially in the multiplayer. The level design is great, like truly great. Much more inventive and fun than the DS version. The game has a lot of challenge not only in the levels themselves, but with the collection of the hidden star coins in each level (which are pretty important for one aspect later in the game). There's also a lot of replay value, not only in collecting the star coins, but there are a ton of secret exits and levels to discover.

I heard Miyamoto say this game is sort of a mix between Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, but there's definitely a lot of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 and Yoshi's Island thrown in there for good measure. Definitely one of the best games on the Wii and if you can get 3 people to join it's one of the best multiplayer experiences in years.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd have to disagree, respectively of course. The game is an incredible Single Player game that becomes a different monster when played with others. The game is best experienced in multiplayer, but the single player isn't "lacking" in the slightest.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
