Super Mario Bros Wii Review

A few months back, I described my thoughts on Mario Kart for the Wii Virtual Console. Now, I had recently gotten the newest installment in the Mario games library and it’s called Super Mario Bros Wii. Now, if you liked the first 2 Mario games, you will love this one. It takes all the things that made those games iconic and rolls it into something brand new. This game is not only fun and challenging, but great to play with someone else. If you are breaking your balls at a certain level and need help, have a good friend play along with you, because like they say, more people on the job help get the job done faster.

Now,we all know the story of the Mario Bros, so I will not go into much detail with that, but I will say that like Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World, Mario and Luigi are up against the deadly Koopa Kids, and as any traditional Mario game, they are stomping on Goombas and sending Koopa shells in the other direction to get coins. And trust me, you will need 2 players in this game. Some of these levels are so erratic, you are going to need help from another hand, especially during the final levels of each world. The worlds of this game are also unique from one another. There are polar worlds, desert worlds, grassland worlds, and even some worlds you may remember from previous Mario games.

Also like other Mario games, you get new suits. Similar to Raccoon Suits and Frog Suits, you get Helicopter Suits, Penguin Suits, and even a suit that allows you to throw ice, similar to the art of the fireflowers. And it’s just so much fun to use these suits to trick your enemies and guide them in the right direction. The control and over look of the game is flawless. The 2-D nature makes the game stand out in a good way from other games like Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, and some of the 3-D effects seen in the game really make it seem like a traditional 3-D movie. It’s also fun to use Yoshis to kill enemies and find special warps that lead you from one world to the other.

Overall, Super Mario Bros. Wii is a fantastic game. If you love Mario games, this is a must have. As you play the game, you will flash back to playing the other games in your youth, and you will have fun going from one world to another. I have also observed that it’s even more fun to play with a friend. If you have been looking for a Mario game that carries all the fun of the originals and rolls it into a whole new game, I strongly recommend it, because once you start playing, it’s impossible to stop. You will absolutely love it.
