'''Hint Movies''' are special short-length video clips that give [[player]]s hints and tricks in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. After using a [[Toad House]] for the first time, players are invited to visit [[Princess Peach's Castle]] and watch Hint Movies. Hint Movies can be watched at any time by visiting the castle and hitting the large Block found inside. All Hint Movies can be unlocked by satisfying a certain objective in the level they are associated with, however the player must pay [[Star Coins]] that they've collected in order to fully unlock them. There may be more than one video associated with a level. There are 65 Hint movies in total. | |||
