Plot

00:00 41:20

Mario and his friends are celebrating Princess

Peach's birthday when a huge cake arrives.
Suddenly, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. pop-out
and throw the cake on top of Peach, capturing her.
They carry Peach to their airship fortress, while
Mario, Luigi, and two other Toads pursue. The
other Toads from the castle use a cannon to blast
the Propeller Suits and Penguin Suits for Mario
and the others.

After they defeat all the Koopalings, Kamek, and

Bowser Jr. throught each world, the team gets to
Bowser's Castle. When they 9nd Bowser, one of
them jumps on a button and sends him falling
down to the lava below. Mario, Luigi, and the Toads
see Princess Peach in the cage, but she turns out
to be Kamek disguised as Princess Peach. Kamek
then Zies out of the cage and casts a magical spell
that makes Bowser come back exponentially larger
than his normal size, giving chase. The four run
away from Bowser in an ancient-looking castle,
until they get to a large, orange button below
Princess Peach. One of them pushes the button
and Bowser falls into the lava below him-- again
and is defeated. Peach is then released from the
cage.

Fire Mario running from Bowser.

Mario and Peach walk out of Bowser's castle and

spot Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad coming
down in hot air balloons. Luigi walks out of his
balloon and lets Mario and Peach in, but the
balloon goes up without Luigi, so the Toads o^er
him a ride in their balloon. After the credits, Larry
and Bowser Jr. watch as the Koopalings are all
trying to push regular-sized Bowser back up. They
succeed, but by causing a huge thud, and
Bowser's castle falls on them as the scene cuts to
black.

Primary Gameplay

The gameplay is primarily similar to that of the

original DS game, with several key changes,
including that of multiplayer gameplay.

Multiplayer

Up to four players can play a level together as the

four characters: Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and/or
Blue Toad. Player 1 can ONLY play as Mario. That’s
true of ANY game mode. If players die in the game,
they are suspended from gameplay until another
player pops the bubble that their fellow character
is suspended in. If the player shakes the Wii
remote, the bubble will move closer to another
player. If all the players are in a bubble at the same
time, they will lose the level and return to the map
screen. Players can pick up other players (by
holding the 1 button and shaking the Wii remote)
and throw them (by letting go of the 1 button), a
technique that can be implemented both
cooperatively and competitively. If two or more
players ground-pound at the same time, all of the
on-screen enemies will die (except for bosses).

Power-Ups

Three additional power-ups have been added to

the Mario Brothers' arsenal. The Ice Flower,
originally from Super Mario Galaxy, allows
characters to freeze enemies as does the new
Penguin Suit which not only freezes enemies but
allows you to slide on your belly. The Propeller Suit
allows the player to Zy up. Yoshi has also been
added into the game and generally serve the same
purpose as they did in Super Mario World, except
they cannot go with the player to next level.

Super Guide

A Super Guide, which allows players to skip

sections of the game they aren't able to beat, has
been added to the game to make it easier.
Activating the Super Guide will show an NPC
playing as Luigi showing the player how to beat
the level with the option of trying again or skipping
the level. Coins or points collected by Luigi will not
be collected by the player. The Super Guide can be
used only after the player has died eight or more
times. However, the Super Guide cannot be used
at Bowser's Castle.

Controls

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is played with the Wii

remote held horizontally. The right and left arrows
control whether the player moves left or right. The
down arrow makes the character crouch. The up
arrow does not do anything. If you press 2, your
character will jump. If you press the down arrow
while your character is jumping, your character will
perform a ground pound. If you hold 1 while
walking, the player will run. If you consecutively
jump three times while running, your character will
perform a front Zip, which makes the player go
slightly higher than a normal jump. In a multiplayer
game, pressing the A button makes your character
go into a bubble. This can be useful if your
character is in a bad situation.

The game can also be played with the Wii Remote

held vertically with the Nunchuk connected to it.
The Nunchuk is used for movement. Pressing A
will cause your character to jump. If you press 2 in
a multiplayer game, your character will go into a
bubble.

Toad Houses

There are a total of three variants of the Toad

Houses in this game:

Red: Minigame called Power-Up Panels is

played to win items.
Green: Minigame called 1-Up Blast is played to
win 1-Ups.
Yellow: A Starman is given to the player.

Warp Cannons

In some worlds, a Warp Cannon is available

somewhere on the map. The Warp Cannon's
purpose is for the player to enter the Warp Cannon
and let the Warp Cannon shoot the player to a later
world. This allows the player to complete the game
faster. To get access to a Warp Cannon, the player
must 9nd a secret exit in a level nearby on the
world map to reveal a hidden path leading to the
Warp Cannon. Here are all the Warp Cannon and
the levels with their respective secret exits:

Warp Cannons #1 and #2 shoot the player to

World 5. The secret exits are located in World
1-3 and World 2-6.
Warp Cannons #3 and #4 shoot the player to
World 6. The secret exits are located in World
3-Ghost House and World 4-Tower.
Warp Cannon #5 leads to World 8. The secret
exit lies in World 6-6.

Also, because the player's character is shot to

World 5, the worlds in between are still
inaccessible unless the player 9nishes Worlds 1, 2,
3, and 4.

When reaching a secret Red Flagpole, Mario will

exclaim: "Wahoo! This way!"

Release

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was 9rst released in

Australia on November 12, 2009. The game was
then released in North America on November 15,
2009, Europe on November 20, 2009, and in Japan
on December 3, 2009. It was later released to
other countries in 2010.

Reception

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the 2nd most

bought game in 2009, with the 9rst being Call
of Duty: Modern Warfare. It was also one of
the most anticipated games of 2009.

Beta & Unused Elements

Princess Peach was, at one point in

development, supposed to be playable in New
Super Mario Bros. Wii. If one uses a cheat
device and sets a particular player I.D to "04",
you can play as "Princess Peach." Meant to be
an easy mode, you spawn as Fire Mario with a
Starman riding Yoshi in every level. This can
be proved as this character I.D is the only
invalid I.D that does not crash the game upon
loading the world map and when receiving a
1UP, that said text is pink.
