New Super Mario Bros - Nintendo Wii

New Super Mario Bros. Wii, like all the previous releases in the Super Mario Bros. franchise is a side-scrolling platforming game where players collect coins as they attempt to make their way through progressively more difficult game levels using their ability to time jumps over obstacles and avoid a slew of enemies. But although the game contain several well-deserved nods to previous games in the series in the form of iconic characters like Mario, Luigi and two Toads, as well as familiar enemies, Sound effects and levels, it is not simply another trip down Mario Bros. Memory lane. Taking advantage of the flexibility and power of the Wii and Wii Remote, New Super Mario Bros. Wii manages to preserve the retro experience that fans love about the series, while adding new game features. Notable additions among these include, expansive play levels and new powerups and characters, but by far the most important, and in fact game-defining new feature is simultaneous multiplayer.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii offers a combination of cooperation and competition; you and your friend can pick each other up to save each other from danger or toss each other into it

Supports 2-4 players in multiplayer mode

Mario, Luigi and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game; you can even ride different Yoshi characters and use their tongues to swallow enemies, or fellow players

In some areas, you can use the motion abilities of the Wii Remote controller; reach the seesaw and tilt it to help your character reach a higher platform, and then tilt it incorrectly just to mess it up for other players

New items include the propeller suit, which will shoot you high into the sky with just a shake of the Wii Remote and Mario’s new ability to transform into Penguin Mario

At the end of each stage during the simultaneous multiplayer mode, you are ranked based on your score, the coins collected and the number of enemies defeated
