Sure the Koopas and Goombas seem to look the same, but there is a certain familiarity that is almost reassuring. The colors of the strange looking worlds seem to really explode with bright hues. For one thing, I felt that Mario moved with a more fluid pacing, running more like a real person might run. The graphics on the DS are a step up from the original Nintendo's (for good reason) and I appreciated the subtle improvements. You can also hear much of the iconic audio from the original Super Mario Bros. While the game is new, it pays close attention to past Mario games such as the original Super Mario Bros, and improves on it while still maintaining the classic feel.įor example, while the animations still have that super simplistic look, the animations themselves are super smooth and more detailed compared to older games. Improved but still a classicįans of the original series will greatly appreciate the Wii remake. The hub for the different levels is very similar to games of the past, and anyone who has ever played a Super Mario game should find themselves operating it easily enough. This helps make use of the remote’s technology, and makes the game a little less like a standard Mario game and a bit more like it’s own Wii game. You’ll also need to shake the remote to help get objects or to perform a spin jump. The wii remote also offers some new aspects to gameplay, including using the tilt feature of the remote for certain platforms. Coin Battle is particularly fun, with players racing to collect more coins than other players before the time is up. The game also includes a Free-for-All mode and a Coin-Battle mode with others. It’s a fun new twist either way, and definitely worth trying out. Multiple people make some parts of the level easier, but can also make some parts harder. Multiplayer is optional, but when you select it you and up to three other players can tackle a level together.
