I might have put you towards the wrong level, I was going off of memory.
I just remember that as being on of the last levels I did on worlds 7 and that was before I got to 7-6.

edit: I just turned the game on and now I know the level you were looking for was the first castle and that hidden exit on the right side wall that you pretty much have to find on accident because I don't see anyone looking there on purpose.

I'm not even sure where that yellow pipe i described to you even taks you anymore or what level that was. so where does it go?

Once more, do any of you know how to get to the Warp Cannon in World 5? I don't know even know the level to find it on.

I'm not 100% sure, but the path to get to it is between 5-4 and the ghost house.
so my guess is that there is a secret exit in the Ghost House.

look for a hidden path in the maze of doors.

It's what BNM said.  There's a door you can see with no pathway to reach it.  You get to it by going to the corridor to the right, then going back to the left, through an invisible wall.  This door is near the end of the maze of doors, not too hard to find, I don't believe.

ok. I just got every star coin in the game, I have accessed all the cannons and all the levels(that I know of) and I only have to saved the last toadstool in world 9 and I believe that I'll have everything, yet I'm still missing 4 videos.

Is there something else that I might have missed?

Nevermind 100% Cleared.
Forgot to take the secret exit on that level where the sandy wind blows you around. Level 2-4 or something. After that, the missing 4 videos showed up, but not until after a message from the game saying that I have completed everything there is in the game.

Nice BnM. I unlocked world 9 last night with my girlfriends hinderance help in getting the last star coins in world 8, then beating the game. Next up after that is doing the Toad missions.

I hate those videos...

Is this game like, sold out or something? I've been to my indie game store and my local Costco and they didn't have it, and Amazon and Family Video both seem to be a bust if I'm to mail this for my younger cousin's Birthday on the 21st. Will I have to give him my personal copy? That's sorta what I ended doing with my DS way back when that first came out.

I'm had the same problem last night trying to mail order it.  My wife is going to try some stores today.

Every time I go anywhere I seem to find it. I only went to one place so far that was sold out when I was actively looking for it. But I thought it would be difficult to sell out, I assumed Nintendo would put so much out there that it would be impossible to lose stock of it all.

Interestingly enough this game is making me want to go back and play the DS version more. I never beat that one but playing the Wii one seems to have motivated me to continue on the DS game.

Don't. The DS version is extremely underwhelming in comparison to NSMBWii, and it was developed by the same team. They really hit their stride in 2-D Mario design.

Yes, according to same gamestop clerk i overheard today. He told this customer in front of me "They didn't make enough copies" or something.

Interestingly enough this game is making me want to go back and play the DS version more. I never beat that one but playing the Wii one seems to have motivated me to continue on the DS game.

It made me do the same but i can't play the DS version for more than a few mins. Just something about it that sucks and doesn't feel like a mario game to me..

GameStop sells out of everything anyone wants.  Then they say you should have preordered it, then cite similar titles, ask if you want to preorder them, and people say yes.

If something is sold out at GameStop, it doesn't mean much.  Other places, yeah, it means something.

I forgot to mention the part where the guy pre-ordered like 3 games after being scared by the Mario Bros situation. We basically had the same point.. i just can't tell which was more dickish

So.. i just played and beat 9-3 and i'm pissed that those homing bulletbills weren't in more levels! those things are freaking awesome and my jaw literally dropped when i saw the giant ones...

I think that's what makes elements like that special. You experience them in only one or a few levels which makes them memorable.

I don't think that's the case. When I got my copy a few weeks ago, they had a big stack of copies and I think most GameStops are like that. Besides, this used to be traditional with Nintendo first party games, they would frequently sell out at Christmas time because of the demand. With the game selling over 900K copies in 4 days in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised to see the game get huge numbers here too.

In my experience, with popular titles, I've never been able to get it from GameStop within a few days of release unless I'm there immediately when the store opens/when the shipment comes in.  Then, I go to the closest store that sells games, and they'll have several in stock.

When this has happened, GS has used it as a way to try to push preorders on me, saying they often have sell-outs, but if they've sold out and all the other stores haven't, then it's clearly manufactured.

That said, in this particular case, it seems NSMBWii is sold out at other places according to other posters.  Since this is the case, it could be a genuine supply-could-not-reach-demand issue, rather than a manufactured GS one.  I'd still check somewhere else, first, because I don't trust GS over things like this anymore.

Yeah, I generally believe GameStop intentionally means to not have copies on hand. They want to impress upon their regulars the importance of pre-ordering. *shrug* I admit that I will preorder obscure third party titles to ensure that GameStop supports them.

Anyways, my Mom said there's dozens of copies at the Target near their house, so I'll pick one up this weekend.

That happened to me with Conduit. Guy told me I should have pre-ordered it. I told him I don't pre-order games as a matter of principal. I then went to the next GameStop in a much larger city and bought a copy there. Not all GameStops are created equal I would argue.

This, this and this again. Yes, with regard to overall structure and basic mechanics, it's a familiar game, but the creative juices poured into the individual levels are like none other.

This weekend, I'm going to try and convince two friends to play through it with me. Looking forward to seeing how different the experience is.

I'm not even going to bother linking to it, but let me warn everyone do not watch the new episode of Zero Punctuation.  It is complete garbage.  Yahtzee hasn't been good for quite some time, but this episode represents a new low.

Are we talking a rip on NSMBWii or are we talking spoiler alerts as well?

Disappointing because he seemed to be a bit partial to Wii games.
