New Super Mario Bros Wii is a famous Mario game for the Wii, and has been created in Australia on November 12; in the USA on November 15, and Europe on November 20 of the year 2009.
It is the sequel-part to New Super Mario Bros.
, a 2006 game released for the Nintendo DS.
Additionally to the single-player experience, the game also features a multiplayer mode for up to six players.
It features more items, new levels and more enemies than the DS predecessor.
It is also the first game to support Nintendo's new Super Guide mode.
Shaking the Wii remote activates the spin jump, seen in Super Mario World.
Players can over objects such as frozen enemies and barrels by hiting 1 (or B with Wii Remote and Nunchuck) and shaking the Wii Remote near the object.
It is possible to ride on Yoshi as well.
Yoshi can swallow lots of different objects in the game including hammers thrown by Hammer Bros.
(but not the Hammer Bros.
themselves), fireballs shot by a player with a Fire Flower or by a Fire Bro.
, and alsoiceballs shot by a player wielding an Ice Flower or Penguin Suit or by an Ice Bro.
Yoshi can then split these objects out.
Yoshi can also over other players in his mouth for a short period of time and use his Flutter Jump, an ability of his first introduced in SuperMario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
Yoshi also has the ability to swallow apples throughout the work.
When Yoshi eats an apple, a count appears to see how many of apples Yoshi has swallowed.
If Yoshi eats six apples, the player gets a reward such as a 1-up or power-up item.
Yoshi cannot use his tongue to help characters get power-ups, unlike in SuperMario World, because Yoshi keeps the power-up in his mouth.
Nevertheless, if the players reach the finish of the level while riding on their Yoshis, they must leave their mounts behind.
Therefore, there are only positive levels in which players can ride Yoshis.
According to Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto had been struggling to add multiplayer in a Mario game for a long time.
He further explained that Miyamoto tried to experiment with multiplayer aspects at the start of most of his Mario projects.
This could be seen in beta screenshots of games such as Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros.
On the map screen, pressing 1 (or B with the Nunchuk) allows the player to go to a screen where items from Toad houses and extra items can be used (like in Super Mario Bros.
3).
Dissimilar to the New Super Mario Bros.
and Super Mario World, the player cannot activate items during levels.
Pressing - (minus) on the map allows the player to go to any historicallyin the past visited world.
