New Super Mario Bros Wii

[Joel]

There were 4 Yoshies. Green, Red, Yellow and Blue.

Red when eat a koopa shell he can breathe fire. Yellow can stomp the ground and Blue can fly.

Actually:

Any colour Yoshi eating red shell = fire

Any colour Yoshi eating blue shell = fly

Any colour Yoshi eating yellow shell = ground pound

Red Yoshi eating any colour shell = fire

Blue Yoshi eating any colour shell = fly

Yellow Yoshi eating any colour shell = ground pound

Red Yoshi eating any colour shell = fire

Blue Yoshi eating any colour shell = fly

Yellow Yoshi eating any colour shell = ground pound

Ahh yeah, I remember! :) Well, at least you got different colors now, even if they don't mean anything. And I think you can breathe fire somehow... :)

Multiplayer is awesome.. it can make the game way harder too if you're not careful :p

Multiplayer is not so awesome.... It makes the game a lot harder and frustrating to me. Still an awesome looking game!

Yeah I forgot to mention the color shells.

i've got it. It's really good, although i really dislike repeating levels to resuce toad and the lava :crazy:

rescuing toad doesn't really give you anything so don't bother

[Creamy]

rescuing toad doesn't really give you anything so don't bother

Sadly true....I can't see any sense in that either...

It's like they were planning something better but ran out of time

I just realised that rescuing Toads lets a new Toad house at the beginning of the world appear....At leat something! :)

the toad houses are useless though

[Creamy]

True again....you always carry like 20 mushrooms around anyway...

Anyone played it all through yet? I can't seem to get the three star coins in some levels...:(

But the "Endless 1-Ups"-Videos in the Castle rock! :D

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I beat the game today, skipped through World 7 completely thanks to a canon and unlocked World 9 and have not touched it yet (plan on going back to both), but I did "beat" the game.

As far as getting all 3 coins on every level, no way in hell I can ever, ever do it. Some of them are just way to crazy, and a lot of good games coming out soon.

[iamwhoiam]

Is there any way to get to the cannons that are on the map screens, or are those just for decoration? I've passed several that looked like they may be accessible.

Yes there is a way, you have to try and find the secret "doors" or "passages" to be able to get to the cannons. I've beat the game and now i'm in the process of collecting the coins and have so far collected all 3 coins from worlds 1 and 2, but the rest are pretty difficult. After you play for a while it gets kind of easy tho, but finding the coins is always fun, they are always in places you hadn't thought of to look. Great game, brings back memories, i usually pay it with my kids and they are still pretty young to play, but they love Mario they scream and wail every time i complete a level or when Mario dies.

Has anyone had Mario lose his hat? I've done that a couple of times but have no idea how it happens, i get lost in the game just playing and then all of a sudden i pass a level and next thing you know Mario doesn't have a hat.

I just googled it as you had me really curious and although I could not find anything concrete I did find one person who was saying he loses his hat when you have 99 lives. Does that sound right?

And yeah man the game is just amazing in all regards. I love it and it honestly is tied with Uncharted 2 for my GOTY from last year. Only reason it is tied is because they are so vastly different, but damn it felt good to play a game that reminded me of why I got into gaming to begin with.

[Creamy]

How great is the rollercoaster-level? (I think its 8-7) I never had so much fun playing a level! :D

What? Thats possible? :o I'll have to look into that....:)

Can someone tell me why there is an alternative music and fireworks sometimes when I finish a level?

Somehow I never played that rollercoaster level? I guess you do not have to play it to beat the game.

I had no idea to play the levels in World 9 meant going back and getting all the large coins in each world, so I will attempt to do that for a few worlds as now I am interested in seeing some of these levels in World 9.

Do you still have to jump on a flagpole to end the level?

[_neutrino Veteran]

Honestly I do not find this game as fun as I did The DS version Also Multi player is rather poor due to the "Death Lag" caused when a player dies and everything freezes to play the Death animation.

[murkurie]

really, I never seen death lagg. I was playing with 3 other people and we loads of fun, esp. when somebody couldn't make a jump and so we tried to throw him over :p The game is really hard and extremely fun, and multiplayer makes it better,

The "death lag" is the only thing i don't like with the game either.

Mario loses his hat when you get 99 lives. It's Nintendo's way of saying "Hats off to you!"

When you rescue a Toad in a level, you will get the classic level ending music, followed by fireworks for whatever the timer is on the clock. So if the clock is 146 you get 6 fireworks. It's best to get a 9 at the end, that way you get a Starman!

Do you still have to jump on a flagpole to end the level?

Yes, a normal ending has a black flagpole. A secret ending has a red flagpole.

Yeah, you gotta take the secret path from 8-2 to get here. Its really worth it! :D

Cool, did not know that. Is it just pretty or do I actually get something for this?

Also: Since I've beat the game, theres a star on my save file...:) Is there anything else I could achieve?

[Draconian Guppy]

meh so they ran out of ideas so "let's go back to 1991" Not my cup of tea :p
