New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a platform game for the Wii that is the sequel to the Nintendo DS game New Super Mario Bros. The game was first shown during Nintendo’s E3 2009 conference and was released in Australia on November 12, 2009, North America on November 15, 2009, Europe on November 20, 2009, Japan on December 3, 2009, and South Korea on August 7, 2010.

Details and Instructions

Despite the fact that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a 2D platform game, some of the characters and items are 3D polygonal renderings on 2D backgrounds, creating a 2.5D effect (also seen in New Super Mario Bros) that visually replicates 3D computer graphics.

Players can take on the roles of Mario, Luigi, or two Toad characters: one blue and one yellow (with the first player always as Mario).

The controls are identical to those seen in New Super Mario Bros., with the addition of the ability to spin in mid-air by shaking the Wii Remote, as well as the ability to pick up, carry, and throw other players. People can play up to four players at once in multiplayer mode. If a player character loses a life but has at least one life left in reserve, he will reappear encased in a bubble and can only play again if another player frees him by hitting the bubble or a fire/ice ball (the player can shake the Wii Remote to move his bubble closer to an active player, but cannot free himself).

Gameplay

If one player enters a pipe, climbs a vine, or grabs the flagpole before the end of the stage, the other players will warp to the same position after a short time, or have a limited amount of time to grab the pole before the course ends. Mario (Player 1) is in charge of navigation on the globe map.

There is an alternate exit leading to a red flag pole in a few levels, in addition to the standard goal and flag post. Reaching this goal will reveal a new path on the map, leading to new overworld stages and, on rare occasions, a warp cannon (which will blast the player off to a later world). There is no online multiplayer in this game. Losing a life in single player mode returns the player to the map screen.

Story

New items have been added to the Mario series, including the Propeller Mushroom, which allows players to fly; the Ice Flower, which allows players to freeze enemies with snowballs; and the Penguin Suit, which, in addition to the Ice Flower’s ability, allows players to slide along the ground and across water as well as have bets. Yoshis, which occur in some levels and can swallow foes and flutter in the air, can also be ridden. A map screen is used to access all levels, and adversaries frequently prowl it. If the player comes across one while wandering the map, a “mini-boss” fight will begin; if the player wins, they will receive three additional Super Mushrooms. Toad Houses are also available, where players can earn extra lives and goods to equip on the map screen.

Hard mode

All enemies walk faster; all of the elevator-style lifts are about sixty percent of their original size, while Fire-Bars appear in all possible locations. Mario and Luigi gain no special powers in hard mode, and they receive no extra points when they defeat an enemy. The story remains the same, as each of the first seven castles contains a mushroom retainer that needs rescuing, while the eighth castle has Princess Toadstool. Earlier levels in hard mode are the same as their harder clones.

The previous levels in hard mode are the same as their harder counterparts; For example, 1-3, is easyer version of 5-3 in a normal game, same as it at the hard mode.

Game modes

Up to four players can play together at the same time in this game. The Nunchuk is a controller that is used to move around the game.

The game is the first on the Wii to include Shigeru Miyamoto’s “Super Guide,” a new system designed by the Mario designer. If a player dies eight times in a row in any level during single player mode, a green “!” Block appears, allowing a computer-controlled Luigi to show them a safe path through the level. The player can take control of the game at any point by interrupting the guide. After Luigi completes the level, the player has the choice to replay it or skip it entirely. Luigi, on the other hand, will not reveal the locations of any Star Coins or secret exits.

Development

Wii (at the time, the game’s name was uncertain), a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo chose red as the case color instead of the typical white to emphasize the game’s originality.

The Wii’s hardware allowed him to display a large number of adversaries and items on the screen at once, as well as a camera that dynamically adapts to the players’ actions, ensuring that they are always aware of their character’s position.

Audio

The music for New Super Mario Bros. Wii was created by Shiho Fujii and Ryo Nagamatsu. There were additional compositions provided by sound director Kenta Nagata. Charles Martinet returned to voice Mario and Luigi, along with Samantha Kelly as the Toads and Princess Peach, Kenny James as Bowser.

Kondo wrote the score with the help of a small piano to create appropriate melodies to fit the game’s environments.

Super Mario Land (1989)

Now we’ll look at Mario’s first portable game. Super Mario Land and Tetris were used to promote Nintendo’s new Game Boy handheld system. Land was the essence of the first Super Mario game, condensed into a brief encounter. Mario was also given a submarine and a combat plane. It’s remembered primarily for being the first mobile scrolling platformer in gaming history.

Super Mario 3D Land (2011)

What if 3D Mario was more like a 2D Mario? It’s been a question since the secret levels of Super Mario Sunshine, and Nintendo’s initial response was 3D Land. Nintendo was able to fully utilize the Nintendo 3DS’s 3D capabilities thanks to the isometric perspective, which improved platforming for those that cared to turn up the 3D effect. In a Mario game, the platform in the back would be dragged forward, introducing depth perception. The rest of the game is shockingly simple, making it simple to pick up and understand even for long-time Mario aficionados. It also features the series’ best Bowser fight.

Super Mario Run (2016)

If the concept of a Mario game is “the player controls Mario,” the iPhone game deviates from that notion. In the sense that the game propels Mario forward for you and you must time his jumps, Super Mario Run is comparable to the “endless runner” genre. This is a concession to touch-screen controls, which has been a major roadblock for mobile gaming in the past. The levels also come to an end, however the stages are rather linear due to the limited player engagement. It’s more of a rhythm game than a platformer, in fact. It’s a really polished and wonderfully produced 2D Mario runner for what it is. It hardly qualifies as a Mario game.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 (2012)

Mario’s most recent 3DS game, in contrast to his initial brief appearance, was all about excess and abundance. It’s also the only game that makes collecting coins, a long-standing Mario custom, a central element. Nintendo has struggled to keep coin collecting interesting as Mario games have changed, especially as the additional lives you gain after collecting 99 coins have become increasingly useless. Mario and Luigi must not only rescue the princess (again), but also collect as many coins as possible, all for nought. In New Super Mario Bros. 2, I accumulated over a billion coins, yet all I got was a dreadful new title screen. This game is only ranked this high because, at the very least, it is still a fantastic 2D platformer in the New Super Mario style. Just don’t give a damn about the money.

Super Mario 3D Land (2011)

What if 3D Mario was more like a 2D Mario? It’s been a question since the secret levels of Super Mario Sunshine, and Nintendo’s initial response was 3D Land. Nintendo was able to fully utilize the Nintendo 3DS’s 3D capabilities thanks to the isometric perspective, which improved platforming for those that cared to turn up the 3D effect. In a Mario game, the platform in the back would be dragged forward, introducing depth perception. The rest of the game is shockingly simple, making it simple to pick up and understand even for long-time Mario aficionados. It also features the series’ best Bowser fight.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992)

If Mario Land 1 was a rip-off of Super Mario 1, Mario Land 2 is a rip-off of his acclaimed third game. More crucially, Mario’s universe grew with the addition of his bizarrely greedy new adversary, Wario. It’s also the first time the Mushroom Kingdom has been revisited on the Game Boy. Because the graphics were bigger and bolder, level design was more restricted, resulting in some pretty bizarre levels, such a massive LEGO-style Mario. This was the point at which Nintendo began to look beyond the box when it comes to level design.

New Super Mario Bros. (2006)

Mario’s initial appearance on the Nintendo DS was also a triumphant return to his roots. It’s a stripped-down remake of 2D Mario platforming with flashy new 3D graphics. The game’s strength and weakness are its simplicity. NSMB struggles to distinguish out in this crowd, especially against its generally weaker sequel, despite a new mushroom that turned Mario into the size of the screen. But it’s a nice, easygoing experience, and it’s the first portable Mario game to feel like a full-fledged release. And its look, which is currently used in the latest Super Mario Maker, would forever characterize 2D Mario.
