Ranger X said:So I just finished NSMB Wii.
This game did something I never ever thought would be possible: It made me revise my Mario games ranking. SMB3 (that was first place) and Mario World (that was second place by a hair) are now second and third. Yup, without hesitation I'm saying it: NSMB Wii is the best 2D Mario game I've ever fucking played.

I'm no caring about the star coins until I beat Bowser ...
BTW, this game has my favorite credits roll ever...
"Stage 4"? I assume you're talking about World 4 and not level 1-4, and I would say yes, the game gets better, and definitely harder, after that.Kimosabae said:How much better would most of you say the game get after stage 4? Honestly, the game is cool, but it feels a bit numbing. It's likely due to the difficulty.
I was wowed at every turn by almost every stage after World 4. It was a noticeable step up, I felt, from the first four worlds, not that they didn't have their moments either.Kimosabae said:How much better would most of you say the game get after stage 4?

No. Just wait till you get up to that stage with two people. If you can make it to the end without someone being sacrificed, you are great players. :lolSilver_DNA said:Also, am I alone in thinking 8-1 was really hard?

Ranger X said:Completing this game with 2 players or more must be EVIL.
:lol
I plan on doing it sometimes.
Cygnus X-1 said:Pro: everything, mostly the fact that the game is quite difficult and very difficult if you play with other people.
Contra: too many 1-up. Way too many.
And the most hilarious thing ever. Just wait until one person grabs the flag at the end of the level and the second person can't make it in time, freezes in mid-air as they jump to the flag, and falls straight down a bottomless pit when it tallies your score at the end. :lolSagitario said:Oh... it's EVIL... and so freaking fun too...

Actually the people in the videos are the Super Mario Club, Nintendo's playtest group. It was mentioned in Iwata Asks how they spent hours trying to get those runs, too.savor100 said:I was watching some of those skills/hints videos from the programmers and man they are crazy good at this game.
Proven said:I honestly have the most hilarious times working together. Since most people aren't that great at Mario games, the accidental kills end up being funnier than the ones done on purpose.

god damn! These things are so informative and fun. Wish there was a lengthy Iwata Asks for every video game ever made :lolupandaway said:
Try to get a Penguin Suit early on. With the suit you don't have any slide animation on ice and it's like the Snake Block is not slippery.effingvic said:Cant get past that castle in world 3. I hate that stupid rolling brick thing, argh. I remember it really pissed me off in NSMB for the DS too.
That's an important point of the game design. At first, we had it so you could see your progress as you went. But when you display how many coins you've got and a wide gap opens up, someone who's behind might give up. When you hide the count, however, you don't know whether you're winning or losing, so your heart is racing right up until you see the results.
I would have figured that what you quoted would have been obvious anyway.The_Technomancer said:*shakes head slowly* The level of thought that goes into this stuff....wow...just wow
Lone_Prodigy said:I always like the ending of Coin Battle (the stages with flagpoles). You have to decide whether to hit it as fast as possible so that your opponents don't get the bonus coins, or whether to aim for the top of it and get the most coins. So many times we've finished a stage where the guy with the propeller suit is flying down the invisible wall aiming for the top, and he's just an instant too late.
This link just right out kills my iPhone. And I have a 3GS. It just dies each time :/upandaway said:
Well, your only options are wiimote (with an optional shell if you want it, I suppose) or nunchuck and wiimote.Drastic said:New to wii and thinking about picking this up.
Looks like it's best with a controller grip/shell, such as the boss classic grip?
I'd get the classic controller, but not really interested in the tethering.
What's the best option here?
Yea, collecting the star coins is proving to be a bitch for me too. Andeffingvic said:Man, collecting these star coins are a lot harder than I thought. Holy shit at how some of these are hidden too.
Are there any secret levels aside from World 9? I always thought there would be world 1-7 or 1-8, but it seems like the castles replaced them or something.
The Lamonster said:So...what are the chances Nintendo will give us a sequel?
Has there been any word or indication it might happen?
There is one hard to find at first in World 7.effingvic said:Man, collecting these star coins are a lot harder than I thought. Holy shit at how some of these are hidden too.

Oh, and yeah the entire end was awesome as well. I think it's my favorite Mario 2D platformer though. The entire time I was playing it I kept thinking how much this is what I wanted when I was a kid.ConradCervantes said:Finally got around to finishing this. Holy hell, the end was awesome. In my rankings, this falls into second place after SMB3, but falling just shy of the king, Super Mario World.
