I'm pretty sure everyone has played Super Mario or at least heard of it right?? You know, the Japanese created Italian plumber who looks Mexican, speaks English and doesn't actually do any plumbing at all.
If you still have no clue heres a little introduction!
The original Super Mario Bros. game was a sequel from Mario Bros that was first created in the 1980s and was such a big hit that it was released in almost every console. There are games even to this day which includes Mario such as: Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, the Super Mario Galaxy series, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64, Mario Tennis and many more!!
Now that we know a general idea of Mario, New Super Mario Bros Wii was released by Nintendo ( The original developers) in 2009. Since its release the game has pretty much gained wide popularity with many players and official game review sites.
The game story line follows the original Super Mario Bros where Mario is on a chase to rescue his ( still unconfirmed) lover Princess Peach who is kidnapped by the giant turtle/dinosaur/something villain Bowser. The game play includes the old nostalgic Mario controls and also includes some extra moves; spinning, ducking and shaking the Wii remote to pick up items which makes it even more enjoyable as it allows players not to grow bored from almost three decades of the same controls and game play! There are also quite a few new power ups and perks that helps you in different stages of the game, for example a penguin power up to help you through an ice stage which stops you from sliding off edges constantly, and trust me that will start bugging you!!! The game is 2D but of course has smoother and highly improved graphics, which is something cool, but don't worry it wont distract you from the game. One of the coolest thing I found was the multiplayer option where you can play with up to 4 players on the same screen. I found that pretty neat because as a kid I always wanted to play Mario with my brother and friends.
Now of course no matter how good a game there will always be room for improvement and downsides. In this game sometimes due to a few of the controls you might get mixed up while playing or forget that you have that move! This can be pretty sad when your almost about to beat a boss and you die forgetting you could of used that to save your life! The other downside is the multiplayer, I know I said that for me it was one of the cool things about the game but yeah it is included as one the of negatives. Playing with co-op is great but there are certain little things that gets in the way, for example when you jump on another player, the guy on the bottom will just fall... and if you haven't guessed already, thats a bummer for the guy on the bottom when you get jumped on in mid air over a gap. There are also little things such as picking/throwing other players or sucking them in and and spitting them out when you ride on the Yoshi dinos. Now if you still don't understand me when I play this game with my brother we spend half the time trying to kill each other. That starts to make the game too long and boring as u get sick of the same stage.
Overall, New Super Mario Bros Wii is a very good game. The controls and game play is good and fun, graphics are good, and violence if you don't like it: is minimal. The game does give you a challenge at times but isn't too hard. So unless u totally suck at 2D jumping games or you just hate plumbers, I would highly recommend this game ( If you had a Wii).
My ratings for this game : 8.5/10
