-2D Levels
-Single Player Mode and 4 Player Coop (Local only)
-80 courses/levels (some remixed versions from DS game)
-"Demo Play" Feature

Beginning with the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii (due this holiday season), players will be able to pause a game during a particularly difficult level and let the game take over to complete the level. Press a button at any time to resume playing. This will help reduce barriers of entry for new or younger players – without purchasing a strategy guide or resorting to websites that list cheat codes.

In an exclusive interview with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary game designer confirmed this optional feature called "demo play" (tentative name) is something the development team has been working on.

"In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, if a player is experiencing an area of difficulty, this will allow them to clear troubled areas and take over when they're ready" confirmed Miyamoto, through his translator. "And yes, we're looking into this for future games, too" Miyamoto says.

Official PR:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii™: Developers at Nintendo have dreamed of creating a simultaneous multiplayer Super Mario Bros. game for decades. The Wii console finally makes that dream come true for everyone this holiday season. Now players can navigate the side-scrolling worlds alone as before or invite up to three others to join them at the same time on the same level at any point in the game for competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. With the multiplayer mode, the newest installment of the most popular video game franchise is designed to bring yet another type of family entertainment into living rooms and engage groups of friends in fast-paced Super Mario Bros. fun.

Haven't seen the vids yet, but after Little Big Planet being released, this doesn't seem as special as it might have been.

I was hoping for a new Mario Galaxy-style game, but perhaps it's a bit early for that.

LBP lacked platforming. Mario has always had such in abundance!

Well, I thought it looked pretty cool, but no, I'm not super excited. Especially since it looks like it has a huge multiplayer focus. I hope the single-player game is fun.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Looks like it was a DS game and they decided to put it on wii .....

I can't watch the video, can someone answer my question? Does it look like all new levels? I can deal with a NSMB rehash if the levels are all new.

i'll play it if the levels are hard enough. the new super mario bros DS game was way too easy. galaxy was too easy, too -- levels only got fun after you beat it, and by that time i was burned out of the borefest.

I can't tell if the level layout was different, but it looks exactly like one of the DS levels as far as environment and style.
