The '''Wii Remote Plus''' is an upgraded version of the Wii Remote, which includes the {{wp|Wii MotionPlus}} attachment's system incorporated in the controller. The Wii Remote Plus was shown in the Nintendo's conference of September 2010, and is available in white, black, pink, cyan, and red colors. It was released in Europe on November 5, 2010 and in Japan on November 11, 2010.

''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' for the [[Wii U]] was the only game of the ''Super Mario'' franchise to ever use the Wii MotionPlus.

{{br}}

The '''Nunchuk''' is the main attachment to the Wii Remote. Upon buying a Wii, one Wii Remote and one Nunchuk are included. It consists of two buttons ({{button|wii|C}} and {{button|wii|Z}}) along with an analog stick ({{button|wii|Stick}}). Like the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk also includes motion sensors. It is named as such because of the similarity in appearance to {{wp|nunchaku}} when being used together with the Wii Remote.

===Classic Controller===

[[File:wiiclassic.jpg|thumb|The Classic Controller, used for playing classic [[Nintendo]] games on the Wii]]

The '''Classic Controller''' is an extension or accessory for the Wii Remote. Besides the two analog sticks, the button layout resembles that of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]'s controller. The Classic Controller must be used to play SNES and N64 Virtual Console games such as ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Some Wii games, such as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' are compatible as well.

Just as the [[Nintendo GameCube]] was codenamed Dolphin and the Wii was codenamed Revolution, the Classic Controller was codenamed '''Shell'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Gibson, Ellie|date=September 19, 2005|url=www.eurogamer.net/i-jimmerrick-revcon|title=Jim Merrick Takes Control|publisher=Eurogamer|language=en|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

|[[File:Classic Controller Wii PRO.jpg|200px]]<br>[[File:Black Controller Pro.jpg|200px]]

The '''Classic Controller Pro''' is an enhanced version of the Classic Controller, listed on Nintendo's Japanese website on February 26, 2009. This revision features the {{button|wii|ZL}} and {{button|wii|ZR}} buttons as full-fledged shoulder buttons, like the {{button|gcn|L}} and {{button|gcn|R}} buttons on the Nintendo GameCube controller, as well as added controller grips. However, the {{button|wii|L}} and {{button|wii|R}} buttons are no longer pressure-sensitive, unlike with the original Classic Controller. The controller is also slightly bigger than its old revision. The Classic Controller Pro was released in Japan on August 1, 2009 in both black and white colors. It was subsequently released in Europe and North America in November 2009<ref>{{cite|author=Siliconera Staff|date=October 20, 2009|url=www.siliconera.com/black-wii-bundle-classic-controller-pro-dated-for-europe|title=Black Wii Bundle, Classic Controller Pro Dated For Europe|publisher=Siliconera|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> and April 2010<ref>{{cite|author=Davies, Chris|date=January 25, 2010|url=www.slashgear.com/wii-classic-controller-pro-hits-us-from-april-2010-2571200|title=Wii Classic Controller Pro Hits US From April 2010|publisher=SlashGear|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> respectively (though only in black in Europe).

===Wii Balance Board===

[[File:BalanceBoard.jpg|thumb|left|The Wii Balance Board]]

The '''Wii Balance Board''' is a controller for the Wii that is used for various games, most prominently in ''[[miiwiki:Wii Fit|Wii Fit]]''. The Balance Board, unlike the Nunchuk or Classic Controller, acts as a separate controller and does not need to be connected to the Wii Remote. The Board is capable of measuring the weight, balance, and movement of the player that is using it. The only ''Super Mario'' game that ever used the Wii Balance Board was ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. A [[Costume Mario|costume]] of a Wii Balance Board appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.

The '''Wii Wheel''' is an accessory for the Wii that resembles a car steering wheel and is designed for ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. One Wii Wheel is packaged with ''Mario Kart Wii'', but more can be bought separately. The Wii Wheel is used to assist in holding the remote and may help players control the game more easily. The Wii Wheel does not connect to the Wii or Remote in any way and is used to only hold the Remote. Because of this, if only the Wii Remote is held sideways (without the Wheel) on ''Mario Kart Wii'', it still shows that a wheel is being used.

 

The first prototype was made when Nintendo was trying to discover the best position to put the Wii Remote. Since Nintendo could not decide where the {{button|wii|B}} button would be used, there was nothing on the back. For the second prototype, Nintendo examined real go-kart wheels, and the company discovered that they are usually more square than round. The third prototype was the basis for the final Wii Wheel. This prototype had a window for using the Wii Menu and a hole for the {{button|wii|B}} button. The fourth prototype had a {{button|wii|B}} button in the Wii Wheel itself, so a child’s finger could reach. Finally, the fifth prototype had a two-tone color scheme. A pure white color scheme was eventually decided on to match the Wii Zapper and the Wii Balance Board. Kenichiro Ashida made two Wii Wheels to show at the "Iwata Asks" interview on ''Mario Kart Wii''.

 

 

 

The [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Controller|Nintendo GameCube Controller]] can also be used for certain games such as ''Mario Kart Wii'' and Virtual Console games, and as an alternative to the Wii Classic Controller (and the Pro version).

 

An '''SD card''' is a standardized memory card format supported by the Wii, which can be used to store WiiWare and Virtual Console games, some games and channels' photos, and to keep backups of certain games' save files. Far from all games allow the internal memory's save files to be moved to SD cards, and ones that do not support it include ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and all GameCube games. Among ''Super Mario'' games that do support taking backups of save files, the files are typically small and around one block (128 KB), with a handful of Mario games at two blocks (256 KB) such as ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.

 

At launch, the Wii only supported the initial industry standard that had a cap at 2 GB. The Wii System Menu 4.0 update in March 2009 added support for SDHC cards up to 32 GB, but it did not have retroactive effect for games released before then. The 4.0 update also added a designated SD card game menu that could launch WiiWare and Virtual Console games directly from the SD card, including from write-protected SD cards.

 

By inserting the Wii's SD card into a PC that has an SD card reader, JPEG images can be added to the SD card which can then be inserted back into the Wii to make them able to view in Photo Channel.

 

The Wii retained the GameCube's use of blocks as a non-standard data measurement unit, but the Wii's blocks are 128 KB, while those on GameCube were merely 8 KB. At full capacity, a 32 GB SC card would be converted internally by the Wii as 262,144 blocks.

 

Below is a list of the file sizes of Wii channels and [[WiiWare]] games that can be copied in their entirety to an SD card normally in the Data Management settings.

The Wii Message Board, powered by [[nwiki:WiiConnect24|WiiConnect24]], was a messaging system that users could use to send messages to other Wii users prior to its discontinuation. The user could either register a different Wii Friend Code separate from the games that use Friend Code exchange or send a friend request to someone that uses a third-party e-mail service, such as {{wp|Outlook.com|Hotmail}} or {{wp|Gmail}}. The service was discontinued on June 27, 2013.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20130414035826/http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/tiQImp7Oi97LiEyVqwDqL-eDnX6u9qjk|title=Shutdown of Wii Channels|date=April 12, 2013|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' use this feature separately from WiiConnect24.

 

 

 

 

[[File:Wii Discchannel.png|thumb|left|The Disc Channel in the original Wii model, when no disc is inserted]]

The Disc Channel is the channel in which game discs are loaded and played. It is the first channel on the menu and cannot be moved. It displays a preview icon of the game currently inside the disc slot and plays a unique jingle when selected; if a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game is in the slot, it does not have a preview and only displays the Nintendo GameCube logo and plays the default GameCube startup jingle when selected. When a disc is loading, as seen in the picture, the Nintendo GameCube and Wii discs are shown spinning, and whichever disc type that was inserted will lower into an opening denoting a disc reader.

[[File:Wii Miichannel.png|thumb|left|The Mii Channel]]

[[File:MiiChannel2.jpg|thumb|The Mii Plaza inside the Mii Channel, with various [[Mii]]s]]

[[Mii]]s are customized characters that can be used in various Wii games, including games such as ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and the ''Mario & Sonic'' games. A maximum of 100 Miis can be created and saved in the Mii Channel in the Mii Plaza. By using WiiConnect24, friends' Miis can be displayed in the Mii Parade; a parade of various Miis saved on friends' Mii Channels. Miis can also be stored in [[#Wii Remote|Wii Remotes]], with a maximum capacity of 10. These Miis can then be transported to a different Wii by using the Wii Remote on a different Wii and then loading the Miis from the controller. The option to transfer Miis to a supporting [[Nintendo 3DS]] system can be unlocked by pressing {{button|wii|A}}, {{button|wii|B}}, {{button|wii|1}}, and {{button|wii|2}} in that order.<ref>{{cite|url=www.gameyum.com/wii-gaming/120532-how-to-copy-your-miis-from-your-nintendo-wii-to-your-3ds|title=How to Transfer Miis to 3DS (or Transfer Miis from the Wii to the 3DS)|publisher=GameYum|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

 

[[File:PhotoChannel.jpg|thumb|The Photo Channel]]

The Photo Channel allows the user to save, view, and apply various effects to photos and videos from either an {{wp|SD card}} or the Wii Message Board. Effects include doodling, stamping, and altering brightness settings. Photos can also be turned into sliding puzzles. When the game ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' is beaten, the player is given the choice whether or not to send the winning photo to the Message Board. There are several other games that behave like this such as ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

{{main-wiki|NWiki|Wii Shop Channel|NintendoWiki}}

The Wii Shop Channel was a virtual shopping network where users could purchase and download [[WiiWare]] and [[Virtual Console]] games in exchange for the required amount of Wii Points. The Virtual Console allowed players to download games that were originally released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], and [[Nintendo 64]], and play them on their Wii console. They could also buy special games called [[WiiWare]] which can be purchased only on the Wii Shop Channel itself. Rather than using money to directly buy the games, a credit currency called [[nwiki:Wii Points|Wii Points]] is used. Wii Points can be earned by either purchasing them with a credit card or redeeming a Wii Point Card. Other free-of-charge channels, such as the Nintendo Channel and Internet Channel, were also available for download at the Wii Shop Channel.

When downloading a game or channel from the Wii Shop Channel, one would be asked to verify their purchase (if Wii Points are needed), after which they will be presented with the download screen. The download screen consisted of an 8-bit [[Mario]] character continuously running across the bottom of the screen and collecting [[coin]]s as they moved towards him. The progress of the download was indicated by three [[Brick Block]]s floating above 8-bit Mario's head, which he will jump up and hit as he runs across the screen. Every time the download progresses 33%, a Brick Block would have turned into an [[Empty Block]]. The final Brick Block represents the point at which the download has reached 99%. When 8-bit Mario reaches this block, he would jump and hit it multiple times and continue to do so until the download was complete.

 

Sometimes, [[Fire Mario]] would have appeared instead of regular Mario. When this happens, one could have made Fire Mario shoot fireballs while the download was in progress by pressing the {{button|wii|A}} button. Occasionally, 8-bit [[Luigi]] appears in place of 8-bit Mario, or both 8-bit Mario and 8-bit Luigi would swim across the screen instead of running across it. There is a total of six different animations one may have experienced while downloading software from the Wii Shop Channel, some of which appear more often than others.  

 

The Wii Shop Channel service was discontinued on January 30, 2019, though the ability to add Wii Points was discontinued on March 26, 2018. Between these times, users would have still been able to browse and download purchased software.<ref>{{cite|author=Romano, Sal|date=September 29, 2017|url=www.gematsu.com/2017/09/wii-shop-channel-end-service-january-31-2019|title=Wii Shop Channel to end service on January 31, 2019|publisher=Gematsu|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref>

The [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] have a similar online shop called the [[Nintendo eShop]]. The [[Nintendo DSi]] also had an online shop (simply called the Nintendo DSi Shop), but that shop was also discontinued.

===Forecast Channel===

[[File:ForecastChannel.jpg|thumb|The Forecast Channel]]

The Forecast Channel was added on December 19, 2006, about one month after the console itself was released. The channel preview displayed the local weather of where the user is located. Some games, including ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', have an option that allowed the game to draw information from the Forecast Channel and use that weather as the weather conditions in the game.

Virtual Console channels are downloadable games that can be purchased from the Wii Shop Channel at varying prices. These various channels allow users to play classic [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], and [[Nintendo 64]] games such as ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The Virtual Console also supports selected games from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and the TurboGrafx-16 systems. Although some games can be played using the Wii Remote, others require the use of either a [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller or a Classic Controller.

[[File:Wii Nintendochannel.png|thumb|left|The Nintendo Channel]]

The Nintendo Channel was released in November 2007 in Japan and May 7, 2008 in America. The Nintendo Channel allows players to view video features and information on upcoming games, including those in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. After downloading, the demos will remain in the DS's memory until the system is switched off. Users could also recommend games that they have played for more than an hour by filling out a brief survey that asks which demographic it is best suited for. Other features include Nintendo DS and Wii demonstration videos, with gameplay videos of newly released Virtual Console and future WiiWare titles. If a game sparks the player's interest, they will be quickly directed to one of several popular purchasing sites via the Internet Channel. The Nintendo Channel was removed along with WiiConnect24.

===Mario Kart Channel===

[[File:Mario Kart Channel.png|thumb|The Mario Kart Channel]]

The Mario Kart Channel is a channel specifically made to work with ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The channel requires 86 blocks (11.0 MB) to be installed. Once installed from the game, this channel can be used to register friends, race ghosts, race friends or random users, enter tournaments, and get updates from Nintendo or other players. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' also includes Mario Kart Channel as an in-game mode, though it has different features.

==WiiWare channels==

WiiWare was a feature that was launched for the Wii Shop Channel in 2008, which consisted of smaller-sized games that could be downloaded onto the Wii or SD card memory using [[Virtual Console#Wii Points|Wii Point]]s, which would then appear on the Wii Menu as individual channels. Some ''Super Mario'' WiiWare titles included ''[[Dr. Mario Online Rx]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''. Some WiiWare titles used Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, allowing the player to play with other Wii players over the internet. Others included Mii compatibility, allowing players to play the game as their own Mii created in the Mii Channel. Also, some games allowed the player to transfer and use the data from a [[Nintendo DS]] game, such as ''WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase''.

==Virtual Console==

{{main|Virtual Console}}

In addition to being backwards-compatible with [[Nintendo GameCube]] games, the Wii Shop Channel has a section called [[Virtual Console]], which allows the players to download emulated versions of games from the [[Nintendo 64]] era and before to play on the Wii. Many of them were ''Super Mario'' games. Each downloaded game costs between 500 and 1000 [[Virtual Console#Wii Points|Wii Points]]. The games are priced based on the system they were released on, with imported games generally costing an additional 100 points, or 200 points for Nintendo 64 games.  

The Wii Virtual Console is also accessible from the [[Wii U]] inside Wii mode, independently from the Wii U's own Virtual Console.

The Wii Remote (known as the [[Form Baton]] in the game) appears in several microgames in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', as well as an object in the game's story. The Nunchuk (known as the [[Balance Stone]] in the game) appears in [[Orbulon]]'s microgames and story.

In the intro cutscene of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', [[Dr. Crygor]] is playing a Wii game, as the console is seen near the TV.

====''WarioWare Gold''====

====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====

[[File:WWGIT Nintendo Classics Boss.jpg|thumb|The Boss Stage]]

In [[9-Volt]]'s Nintendo Classics level in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the boss that appears in the intermission before the boss microgame wields a Wii Remote as a sword.

===''Super Paper Mario''===

When the player enters [[Francis]]'s room in [[Fort Francis]] and [[flip]]s, they can see a large TV and a Wii with a Wii Remote. [[Tileoid|Tileoids]] in general strongly resemble the loading indicators used commonly for Wii software. Also, when the player fights [[Fracktail]], Fracktail starts downloading information about Mario. While he is doing so, his eyes turn into the circle that appears when the Wii Shop Channel is loading from the Wii Menu.

===''Mario Kart Wii''===

In the cutscene before the file selection screen, Mario and Luigi use Wii Wheels to race and drive in invisible karts. Peach joins them with her own Wii Wheel, and their karts become visible shortly afterwards, with their Wii Wheels becoming their karts wheels.

[[File:Daisy-mss-intro-1.png|thumb|Daisy holding a Wii Remote in the ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' opening cinematic]]

In the opening cinematic of ''Mario Super Sluggers'', [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Luigi]], and [[Mario]] carry Wii Remotes with them as they run towards Mario Stadium. When Daisy brandishes the remote on the mound, it transforms into a baseball bat, and Luigi encounters the same method moments later. When Mario brandishes the remote, it transforms into a baseball.

Although the console itself does not appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', a Yoshi design based off the Wii can be unlocked in World 2-S: [[Perils of the Perplexing Pyramid]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

Starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', [[Wii Fit Trainer]]'s entrance animation has them balancing on a Wii Balance Board before stepping off of it. In addition, the Wii Balance Board appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. The Wii Balance Board also appears as a master [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', teaching the Lightweight Style to other spirits (said style increases move speed and jump height, but decreases offense, defense, and weight). The Wii Balance Board spirit battle is against Wii Fit Trainer on the [[Wii Fit Studio]] stage with the music "Wii Fit Plus Medley" (from ''{{wp|Wii Fit Plus}}'') playing, with all fighters having increased movement speed and being easier to launch after some time.  

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', a Wii Wheel is found hanging on the wall in the [[Mario Bros.' House]].

*Due to the [[Virtual Console]] service and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] backwards compatibility, seven ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' titles are playable on the Wii, more than any other console to date.

*Despite the system being released in Taiwan and Hong Kong and games being localized in Traditional Chinese, the Wii system software was never officially localized in Traditional Chinese; models released in those territories use Japanese as the system software language instead.
