wow i havent read this thread in awhile.. i'm not about to read 5 pages.

I have been taking my time with the game(cause my girl friend isnt always around to play) and gotten all coins up to the start of world 5. I am having a strange mix of fun and frustration. Frustration only due to how my girl friend plays. Trying to explain swiming every water level drives me nuts. Then she gets the Penguin suite which makes swimming easy, but then she feels she has to relearn things again. Then she takes off the suit and forgets she has to keep tapping 22222 to swim. Oh boy.

Besides that we laugh and have a good time together. At one point we are completely surrounded by Boos and im franticly explaining how to deal with them, and she bubbles away leaving me to fend for myself. Funny stuff.

The look and layout of the 4th world has really won me over. And the anchor level in the 4th world? Wow man! I can't wait to play with more people, seems near impossible.

sounds like a horrible sex life. Poor Cater...


I played the game for the first time yesterday (though i've had it since last week ) with my girlfriend and it was so much fun. we both felt like lil kids playing it, and it was great how excited she got cuz she never really gets that amped up when we play other games together. When she saw yoshi for the first time she was so surprised and she had the cutest reaction.

I can't wait to play this game with 4 people. I might have a chance to this week, so i'm pretty excited.

Mentioning your girls reaction to Yoshi reminded me of one thing I do like allot when I play with my girl friend. Her reaction to Toad. When he's tiny she goes "oh its so cute" and loves being picked up and jumping off of marios head for extra height. Her reaction to the characters allows me to enjoy the game more for some reason.

Hooray! Somebody else recognizes Toad's adorableness. How I wish I could use Toad in single player... and I'm always player 1 in multiplayer!

I still haven't seen any standard codes for this game.  I really do need to go looking at this point.  I'd definitely be Bucken-Berry all the time.  Or Blue Toad.  Or Rasp.  Whatever he ends up being named.

Every one in my house has been playing the game. We beat it sometime last week and now we're going back for all of the star coins. This weekend I bought two more remotes and last night we had 4 players. This is the only Wii game I have that brings people out to play- it's great!

Wow, something is seriously wrong with your Wii game collection -- that's like the whole purpose of the Wii.

I play the most with my girlfriend and sometimes my housemates will play something with me, but everyone wants to play Mario- even their girlfriends. I have a lot of multiplayer games, but most of my friends and roomies don't play a lot of games. My game collection is awesome!

[EasyCure]

as awesome as your mustache? I think not!

it's weird cuz now i can actually picture fleece AND his gf playing this game and know my imagination is accurate.

creepy...

I don't think I  laughed so hard at a game before. I think my game collection is great, my mustache is on another level completely

So Steve Tilley from doesn't consider NSMBWii a real Mario game, but gave good reviews to Modern Warfare 2 (which is getting some good buzz on the forums here) and Assassins Creed 2.

Screw IGNorant, Steve Tilley is my new trolling bitch now.

Seems like a real mario game to me, what was his reason?

[Peachylala]

It was in a little blurb for Zelda: Spirit tracks. He said that Zelda fans had a tough year without a console Zelda (what) and has the balls to say NSMBWii isn't a real Mario game. I do not know if he reviewed the game or not, but if NSMBWii's reviews are any indication from the gaming media, he's in the same boat as IGNorance.

My bet is the game isn't running at 50fps, it's not brown/grey/dark, and no online.

Progress report: Up to the end of World 5, the Forest. Having an absolute blast with this game. Looking forward to Iggy's Castle and the subsequent boss encounter.

Just started world 4 myself

[Stratos]

I'm stuck in World 3. It may seem odd, but I seem to lose my will to play this game without another person there. As frustrating as it can be to be killed all the time, I love the multiplayer craziness so much that I only want to play with other people.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I've finished worlds 1, 2, 3 & 5, just starting world 4 right now, but I'm wondering, how exactly do you unlock videos?
Is there something special you have to do or is it completely random?

[that Baby guy]

Progressively, they unlock as you near completion in some sort of set order for specific things that's incredibly difficult to determine.  Completion means all secret exits, mushroom houses, and cannons visited, while having every last Star Coin.

[Peachylala]

I beat the game (not fully), but am now starting over with the Nunchuck controls. Super Mario Galaxy's 2-D stages were great practice, NSMBWii tests the skills.

Anyone have current sale figures.

lol I was thinking the exact same thing. Poor, poor Cater...

Thanks, I was wondering because I have World 1 & 2 complete with everything (coins & cannons. is there more?) and I'm still missing a few videos for those worlds. I'm only missing 1 coin in world 3 & 4 and only a cannon in world 3 yet I'm missing about 5-6 videos between those 2 worlds and I'm missing 6 coins on World 5.
I have about 43 videos missing total.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I got 3 star coins in the first stage.

Not that I know of, even VGChartz doesn't have anything yet. You might have to wait for the November NPD numbers.

New Super Mario World!  Projects are beginning to come into place to create a New Super Mario World, a remake of SMW, but using NSMBWii's engine.  While this isn't really of merit for people who play games with single player, playing in multiplayer would provide quite a few new experiences.  I'm eagerly anticipating it, to say the least!
