Been playing it about 2 hours now, am at the end of World 2, and its...brilliant
Its the true sequel to SMB 3, its got the same map layouts, Toad houses, hammer bros., airship, castles with the Koopa Kids, the new suits are fun, you play it with the Wii remote held like a NES pad, sideways with one button to run, one to jump, and thats it, the Wii controls arent used a lot and its all the better for it. The graphics are fine, the music is what you'd expect, but its just a barrell of fun, havent tried multiplayer yet but will give it a bash later, I bought this instead of Assasins Creed 2, glad i did 0 -

Been playing this the last few hours. Really good fun. Loving it
As Krudler said, its like SMB3. World 1-1 and 1-2 seem like they were taken out of SMB and brought to wii graphics.
One bit of advice though: when rescuing a toad, don't put it in yoshi's mouth and then get hit. DAMN YOSHI RAN OFF INTO A PIT!! :mad:0 -

Love this game, the addition of the propeller hat over the leaf/tail racoon suit thing in SMB3, the penguin suit is interesting but a little hard to keep. The ice flower is the best thing ever for the tough levels because it can actually kill those skeleton turtles in the castle/fortress I've already gotten three warp cannons (World 1 -> World 5, World 2 -> 5 and World 3 -> 6) and am playing through for all those special big coins to get the full experience which means I'm going back and playing through the missed worlds but it's so worth it.
It's a long overdue proper expansion to the series of games I loved as a kid for the NES!
Co-op play is also mega, but can be very frustrating as you land on top of each other and disrupt jump patterns which is annoying on the tricky levels. A little tip that helps is to press A to "bubble" yourself if you're falling to doom because the other player landed on you. Then shake the wiimote like a mad thing so you catch up with them before they die and they release you - took two worlds to figure that one out >_<0 -

I heard that they were actually the developers showing their skills off.
It's just hardcore Super Mario.

I was really disappointed in the DS new super mario bros game which was very by the numbers and uninspired but the Wii one really is excellent with very varied level design. Superb stuff altogether.

It's more Mario 3 although there's elements of SMW in there too.
I'm amazed at how every level constantly surprises with something different.
Oh by the way, the review in the evening herald today of the game was by yours truly

A fantastic game. I've got as far as world 4. They got the difficulty balance just right. Harder than SMB3 but easier than Lost levels. As far as I'm concerned this is the first true console sequel to Super Mario World.
Now please create NSMBW 2 Nintendo. I'd love to see a 2-D Zelda and Metroid for the Wii.
I think the New Metroid Other M will have sections in 2-D.??
Em the 2-D Zelda games have traditionally sucked btw
You don't really want to see anymore videos.0 -

really enjoyed playing on my own the other night however the multiplayer is frustrating as hell when playing with my little lad.
the split second pause when another player dies really starting to p*** me off esp when he's on continue no 25 by world 1-5!!! be easier just to watch him freak out at the screen himself than me getting annoyed. bless him 0 -

Remind him to press "A" if he's about to die to enter protective bubble.:)0 -

Definitely worth buying for Christmas, it's a brilliant game..but I found it a bit tough or maybe I'm a tad rusty on my platformers. I ended up relying on co-op to get some of the coins on World 9 especially (a bonus world after completing the game to collect more Star Coins, no level checkpoints either) 0
