'''''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''''' is a sidescrolling [[wikipedia:2.5D|2.5D]] [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] platformer for the [[Wii]], and the tenth game in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. The game was released in Oceania on November 12, in North America on November 15, and Europe on November 20, 2009; this is the first main series game to be released first in the Oceanian regions and the first and currently only ''Mario'' platformer to be originally released outside Japan or America. It is a follow-up to ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', released in 2006 for the [[Nintendo DS]]. In addition to the single-player experience, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' also features a multiplayer mode for up to four players. This is the first ''Super Mario'' game to feature a co-op and vs. modes at the same time since ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' It features more [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii#Items|items]], new [[level]]s and more [[List of enemies|enemies]] than the DS predecessor. It is also the first title to support Nintendo's new [[Super Guide]] mode.<ref name="kotaku-superguide">[http://kotaku.com/5374432/kind-code-demo-shows-new-super-mario-bros-on-auto+pilot Super Guide information at Kotaku.com]</ref> The game introduces two new power-ups, the [[Propeller Mushroom]] and the [[Penguin Suit]], which turn characters into their [[Propeller Mario|propeller]] and [[Penguin Mario|penguin]] forms respectively.

''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is the first 2D platformer ''Super Mario'' title to hit a home console since ''[[Super Mario World]]'' for the [[SNES]] (released 19 years prior). To date, the game has sold over twenty-seven million copies worldwide, making it the fourth best-selling Wii game overall and the second best-selling ''Mario'' game on the system, after ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/wii.html IR Information : Sales Data - Top Selling Software Sales Units - Wii Software (nintendo.co.jp)]</ref> ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' received a follow-up on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and later, a sequel on the [[Wii U]], ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

[[File:NSMBW Prologue.png|thumb|upright=1.1|left|[[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] jumping out of the cake.]]

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] are celebrating Princess Peach's birthday, when a huge [[cake]] slides in. Immediately, [[Bowser Jr.]] (who masterminded the plot to infiltrate via the birthday cake<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/smnj/story/index.html nintendo.co.jp - ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' character page] (Click on the blue circle with the arrow to reach the Koopaling page and click on the pictures to see the short bio of each of the Koopalings). [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/960544-new-super-mario-bros-wii/52367637 Translation] (Retrieved November 13, 2011)</ref>) and the [[Koopalings]] pop out and throw the cake on top of Peach and the Toads, trapping her inside and leaving the Toads stunned. From there, the villains load her onto their [[Airship]] while Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad follow closely. The Toads from the castle soon use a cannon to blast away presents containing Propeller Mushrooms and Penguin Suits so Mario and the others can obtain them, but they explode in the air and spread the items in nine worlds.<ref>[http://www.true-gaming.net/tgupload/images2/mario3.jpg Famitsu's Scans]</ref>

Throughout the chase, Mario and co. battle the Koopalings in their fortresses, followed by in their towers. Afterward, Bowser Jr. flies in the airship with Peach stuck in it, though during two occasions, the Airship leaves without Bowser Jr., allowing the Mario Bros. and Toads to chase after him. When the gang defeats Bowser Jr. for the final time, [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] appears and takes Peach away, taking her to [[Bowser's Castle]].

 

When Mario and the gang finally get to the final castle, they find [[Bowser]]. One of them has to jump on a ! Switch behind Bowser to defeat him, sending him falling into the lava below. After, Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad celebrate their victory, they see the fake Princess Peach crying in a cage. However, she turns out to be Magikoopa in a pink version of his robe. Magikoopa then powers Bowser up, making him [[Super Bowser|giant]]. After Bowser has been powered up, the four can do nothing but flee from the giant boss. Soon they find a dead end with a huge ! Switch. They push it, and the giant Bowser falls through the floor in final defeat as the real princess is released from her cage. As they venture out, they see Luigi, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad arrive in their hot air balloons. Luigi lets Mario and Peach into his balloon and is accidentally left behind. Yellow Toad and Blue Toad then offer Luigi a ride in their balloon. As they sail off, Peach asks Mario if she told him about the [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Secret World]]. If the player beats the level again, Peach will ask Mario to tell her about his adventure again.

[[File:BCastle.png|200px|thumb|Bowser, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings watch as the castle collapses.]]

After the credits, [[Larry Koopa]] is seen limping toward [[Bowser's Castle]]. As he collapses, Bowser Jr. walks up to him and shows him the rest of the Koopalings trying to push Bowser, who is back to normal, right side up. They finally succeed, with a huge thud, causing the castle to fall on top of them.

[[File:NSMBW Multiplayer.png|thumb|left|World 2-1 being played by four players.]]

The gameplay of the game is mostly based off of its DS predecessor. The story mode of the game can be played in either single-player mode or multiplayer cooperative mode. Players can be freely added and removed in between levels on the [[World Map]]. The camera pans as players move and it zooms in and out depending on their distance to one another. However, there is a limit, and players who are far behind lose a life.  

After clearing [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-3]] for the first time, a Toad runs up and tells the heroes that Bowser Jr. ordered his minions to stuff Toads they capture into [[? Block]]s. If the level was cleared in single-player mode, a [[Goomba]] then appears and carries the Toad to a ? Block in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]], where the player must carry him to the goal. Toads can only be rescued in single-player mode.

When a player loses a life in multiplayer, they reappear inside a bubble. The player inside the bubble can shake the Wii Remote to bring themselves closer to the other players that are currently not in a bubble. Bubbles can only burst when a player not in a bubble comes in contact with the bubble or throws a fireball, iceball, shell, or frozen enemy at the bubble. A player can place themselves in a bubble purposefully without losing a life by pressing the {{button|wii|A}} button on the Wii Remote or the {{button|wii|C}} button on the Nunchuk if it is connected. The player inside the bubble cannot be harmed by anything and retains their previous form. However, if everyone has lost all their lives, or if someone loses a life and everyone else is in a bubble, then all players have to restart the level from the beginning or the midpoint flag if the players touched it on a prior attempt. The players in bubbles return to their [[Small Mario|normal form]], but do not lose any lives.  

When one player grabs the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]] at the end of the level, the timer stops and the other players would have three seconds to grab the flagpole before the level ends. If they do not make it in time, the level still ends; however, there is no penalty to the players left behind other than the lost opportunity for points or a 1-Up by grabbing the flagpole.

[[File:NSMBW Wiimotecontrol.png|thumb|left|The light on the boat's direction being changed by tilting the Wii Remote.]]

Players play the game by holding the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] sideways or by using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination. If a player tilts the Wii Remote, certain actions can be performed such as changing the direction of a light or tilting special platforms when they have been activated. Players can activate these by standing on them; the color and the symbol of the character on the platform determines who is controlling them.  

Shaking the Wii remote activates the spin jump, as seen in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Players can carry objects such as frozen enemies and barrels by {{button|wii|1}} ({{button|wii|B}} with Nunchuk) and shaking the Wii Remote near the object.  

It is possible to ride on [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] as well. In addition to his usual ability to devour enemies, he can retain many different objects in the game in his mouth including [[hammer]]s, fireballs, iceballs, shells, Toads, power-ups, and other players. Yoshi can also use his [[Flutter Jump]], a move first introduced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Similar to ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi can eat five apples in a course to produce an egg with a power-up or 1-Up. Yoshi cannot be harmed by sharp objects and enemies such as [[Spiny|Spinies]] and [[Piranha Plant]]s as long as he lands on them. Yoshi(s) brought to the end of the course must be abandoned, and therefore there are only certain levels in which players can ride Yoshis.

[[File:7-2nsmbwii.png|thumb|Mario can swim in these moving, floating [[bubble]]s.]]

[[Enemy Course]]s return from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as well as [[Toad House]]s; items obtained are stored in an inventory that can be accessed with the {{button|wii|1}} button ({{button|wii|B}} button with the Nunchuk) on the map screen. Unlike ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario World'', there is no spare item box, so players cannot activate items during levels. Pressing {{button|wii|-}} on the map allows the player to go to any previously visited world.

Up to five stars can appear on a player's profile. The first appears after the player has beaten [[Bowser]] for the first time (using any method), the second appears when all levels in the first eight worlds (excepting Warp Cannons/Pipes and Toad Houses) have been beaten, the third appears if all Star Coins from Worlds 1 to 8 are obtained, the fourth appears when all Star Coins in World 9 have been obtained, and the fifth appears once the player has beaten every level (including Warp Cannons, etc.) and has collected every Star Coin. The stars shine if the [[Super Guide]] block did not appear at all during the game, even if it is not used when it appears.

[[File:Nsmbw_superguide.png|thumb|upright=1.1|right|The Super Guide mode of World 6-3 in action.]]

 

Debuting in this game, the Super Guide provides players assistance to clear levels. When the player has failed to pass a level at least eight times in single player, a green box appears at the start of the level or at the checkpoint. When the player hits the green box, the level restarts in autopilot mode: a computer-controlled [[Luigi]] plays the level on his own. The Super Guide shows the player how to beat the level, but does not use shortcuts, take damage or reveal secrets. While the Super Guide is running, the player can press the {{button|wii|+}} button on the Wii Remote at any time to take control back; the game starts exactly where the Super Guide left off. Once the player has taken control back, they cannot turn it back on in the middle of the level. Even when the Super Guide assistance is used, the level is still considered complete, though it is now marked red, and any stars on the profile do not shine. If the player takes over, they continue to play as Luigi, rather than Mario. Losing a life as Luigi allows the player to control Mario again, without losing a life.  

[[File:Free-for-all_NSMBW.png|thumb|upright=1.1|]]

'''Free-for-all''' is a multiplayer-only mode that is selectable from the game's main menu. Every course from the main game is selectable in this mode, although the worlds have to be beaten once in the main game in order to play them in Free-for-all. This mode is very similar to the main game, but there are no [[Midway Flag]]s, and on the end of a level, the amount of points each character got is seen. However, unlike [[Coin Battle]], the character does not say a "happy" phrase after winning, and the amount of times each player won is also not seen. Additionally, if all of the players manage to get to the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], the level is marked on the level selection menu with a gold frame, and the words "TEAM FINISH!" will be seen for about a second. If not all players manage to reach the flagpole, it will be marked with a silver frame and the word "CLEAR!" will be seen instead.

[[File:Worldselectnsmbwii.png|thumb|upright=1.4|The world selection map with all worlds unlocked]]

The game has nine worlds with a world map similar to ''New Super Mario Bros.'' There still are [[Toad House]]s, [[tower]]s, [[castle]]s, [[Warp Cannon]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s (in World 2), [[Beanstalk]]s (in World 7) and horizontal "platform" Pipes (in World 6). Enemies also patrol the map screen. If the enemies come in contact with them, they must play an [[Enemy Course]]. Players must collect eight [[Toad balloon]]s to make a chest with a Toad trapped in it appear. If Toad is saved, three Super Mushrooms are rewarded. Each Enemy Course is different on each world. The layout of the worlds (left-right and up-down) alternates between the worlds, with the odd-numbered worlds, Worlds 1, 3, 5, and 7 all going in a horizontal left-to-right direction, and the even-numbered worlds, Worlds 2, 4, 6, and 8 all going in a vertical down-to-up direction.

There are 77 courses in the main game. Kidnapped [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s are sometimes hidden in previously beaten levels in single-player mode. If the Toad is carried to the level exit without being damaged, Mario is rewarded with three 1-Ups. However, only one 1-Up is rewarded to Mario if the Toad took damage before reaching the goal. Additionally, when Toad is saved, The "Course Clear" theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' is played instead of the normal one, fireworks go off, and a [[Toad House]] opens at the starting point of the world. The type of house that appears depends on the last digit in the level timer when Toad and/or Mario touches the flagpole. If the Toad is damaged twice, it is defeated, and Mario cannot bring it to the goal anymore.

Captured Toads only appear in the following levels:

Other than the game's main campaign, which can be played with up to four players, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' offers special multiplayer challenges. Those challenges have some levels taken from the campaign, and some newly created levels. There is a '''Free for All''' mode and a '''Coin Battle''' mode. Free for All mode has players competing for a high score, while Coin Battle mode has them competing for the most collected coins in the level.
