Great game :) hopefully I'll be 100% done tonight :) All I need to do at this point is find how to access 7-6 (I have a good idea where it is...) and get the 3 star coins and finish the matching stage in the special world and I'll be done :) Overall it was a great game and I can't wait for xmas time to play it with a bunch of people

I'm a little confused as to whether to pick this up.

Alot of reviews say that the game is really fun others, where as others say that the single player is the only decent part and the multiplayer is just ****.

I only want to play multi so whats your guys opinions.

NEVER TRUST AN IGN REVIEW lol honestly I know that sounds harsh and biased but at least read some other reviews first. I was an avid IGN fan for years but over the last year or two their reviews have completely shat the bed. I'm talking half page reviews that don't even talk about gameplay, to cut and pasted reviews from the console section for pc ports etc. etc. etc.

Although their txt review of New Super Mario Bros didn't seen too bad, I havn't played it yet so dunno if I agree with it...

Ya, I watched that review yesterday. The reviewer seemed kinda schizophrenic. He was saying how disappointing and how great the game was at the same time... Pick one. :p

I was a bit disappointed that all you get for collecting all the star coins (even from World 9), is a stupid message that says congratulation you finished everything in the game....sounds like they could have done a bit better...

But anyhow I've really really enjoyed the game :)

+1 for this game being awesome. I picked it up the day it came out and I havent stopped playing it. The multiplayer is hilarious but it can be very challenging at times. This is definitely the hardest Mario I have ever played.

+1, people seem to think the multiplayer was meant to make things easier, but in reality it makes everything harder (except collecting star coins) and that's the fun part.

The Wii: No Achievements, No Fun. :p

Kidding. I love the game. Brings back a lot of memories.

And this is why Mario has kept his relevance whereas Sonic is seen as a joke...

People want the old-skool gameplay! I personally WILL be getting this, as the DS version rocked!

Not necessarily true. Super Mario 64 and Galaxy were really fun. I think Sonic has lost relevance because the newer 3D Sonic (Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast was good IMO) games suck. :p

I'm still on World 1 because I've just not had time for much gaming lately, and when I do it's usually MW2.

Last night however I managed to play 2 levels and I saved my game. Went to play more today and it didn't take me to where I left off?! wtf (N)

I've replayed these levels like 5 times now cause I've always had to switch it off in a rush for whatever reason :laugh: :angry:

All I can say is thankfully Nintendo was smart enough to let players bubble themselves.

+1 many lives saved doing that lol

I preordered this and picked my copy up on the 12th Nov. It's a blast and I love playing it. Played multi player a few times and it's good as long as you're all capable of playing the game at a similar level. One person can really spoil it for the rest if they have no idea how to use the controls.

Highly recommended!

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
