Talk:New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Powers Section
It's nice to have a power-up section, but I don't think we should say "Fire Mario" considering you can play as Luigi and Toad as well. "Fire Flower", "Penguin Suit" and the likes should do it. - 16:05, 2 June 2009 (EDT)


 * Suits? could it be a SMB3 Remake??? Mrsdaisyluigi seems a bit wierd.
 * No. A remake would stay true to the original. This game doesn't resemble SMB3 at all, just because it has some suits in it. - 17:19, 2 June 2009 (EDT)
 * How is it nescius?

Wait, you can be in a penguin suit? Can you hyperlink me a video from youtube that shows you. --Superjump4 12:36, 2 August 2009 (EDT)Superjump4

Koopalings
i found a screenshot online which could mean the koopalings could fainally return. http://i43.tinypic.com/rqvfxz.jpg

Morton? Sweet, so, seeing Morton... Then there'll probably be Larry, Iggy, etc... But, will they still have Bowser Jr.?
 * Magik I hope so.

The Koopalings are back!!!??? I. Am. Freaking. Sold. User:Majora999

Here is a video that shows the fight against Morton (better detail than in the other video):

After being defeated, he jumps away just like Bowser Jr. in NSMB. --Grandy02 15:54, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Why in the world did they add two Toads as players 3 & 4 instead of Wario and Waluigi? Skeppio 14:30, 12 June 2009 (GMT +10)
 * Because all characters have the same gameplay, so their bodies have the same shape. Wario is too big and Waluigi is too curvy to fit into the regular pattern. - 11:28, 12 June 2009 (EDT)

Wario fitted in fine in Super Mario 64 DS with only minor gameplay differences and Waluigi is thin and would weigh about the same as Mario & Luigi anyway. Besides, Mario and Luigi have always played slightly differently. Why the laziness now? Also, as a side note, Toads have a much greater body shape difference to Mario& Luigi than Wario & Waluigi do. Skeppio 22:30, 28 July 2009 (GMT +10)
 * Is this from photobucket/Imageshack? 18:17, 21 September 2009 (EDT)

Hey, I just had an idea, you know how Luigi jumps higher and has worse traction than Mario, well what if the two Toads have similar concepts, like in SMB2.

Larry Koopa Video
This video features Mario and Luigi fighting Larry Koopa:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLXIhpZeNco

--Grandy02 09:36, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
 * That's good additionial confirmation. The battle seems to have the same structure as the Bowser Jr. battles in NSMB. - 10:37, 17 June 2009 (EDT)


 * It reminds moar to SMB3 because Larry (and other possible Koopalings) carries a magic rod... :o

A better quality of the video, not just showing the fight, but the whole level:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIoeGeHl1mg

It looks like as if Larry has a blue shell now. Well, Morton's shell doesn't seem to be gray anymore, either. --Grandy02 09:55, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

Maybe Koopalings can switch shells if they're tired of the old shell's color. User:Lemmy Koopa Fan

I hope bowser jr. is in this game also. And isn't Mortan's nickname Bigmouth? --Superjump4 19:51, 31 July 2009 (EDT)Superjump4

Bigmouth was Morton's name in the old cartoon series.--fawfulfury65 22:40, 31 July 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Which Holiday?
Which 2009 Holiday Is Going To come Out? Please Reply!!!!!Elmopedia89 20:30, 18 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Please direct all conversation not relating to the improvement of this article to the forum. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]
 * "Holiday" is the American term for the Christmas holidays. - 07:39, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

Toads
A while ago I heard that the blue and yellow toads names were changed to Yvan (pronounced Ivan) and wolley (pronounced wally). I think we should change the names in the article but I'm not sure if these names are fake or not.--Fawfulfury65 09:01, 20 June 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65
 * Sounds quite random. Only add names when you find a proper source for them. - 09:05, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

If I remember, I think I saw that on IGN when the people were guessing the names for the Toads, unless you found some source that offically gave the Toads a name. -RedFire Mario
 * Those names were made up by IGN. Not official. --Grandy02 09:58, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

Yea. That was the IGN thing I was talking about. Those names are false Fawfulfury. -RedFire Mario

Spin jump
It says that Mario's spin jump returns in the article but I don't know where that info came from. I need more proof.--Fawfulfury65 19:58, 22 June 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65
 * Check out gameplay videos like this one and you can clearly see and hear players do spin jumps. They look a bit similar to the Star Spins in Galaxy. - 09:52, 23 June 2009 (EDT)

Yes in the videos it shows Mario doing a spin jump to counter-attack an attack from a cloud enemy.

Release Date
I found from my nearest gamestop store that NSMBwii and SMG 2's release dates. Are they offical? NSMBWii is for 11/2/09 and SMG 2 is for 1/1/10. So can we put it up?


 * We should wait for a confirmation of that. - 18:47, 12 July 2009 (EDT)
 * 1/1/10 looks generic, hennes not. Lysdexia 05:52, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Mariodsi:I heard on a youtube video some Nintendo staff told me Bowser is in the game.


 * The game will follow the traditional storyline of Princess Peach getting kidnapped by Bowser. Doesn't that confirms Princess Peach and Bowser are in the game? Javier12345 19:35, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
 * Miyamoto confirmed it in an interview. - 08:17, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Release date November
Play-Asia states it to be released this November here, possibly meaning the holiday could be Thanksgiving. Edit: Amazon says it will be released December 31, 2009 for Canada. --MechaWave 20:42, 7 August 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, So did GamersPro.～～Mario240

The Toads' Names
IGN reveals the Toads' have actual names. Wolley is Yellow Toad, and Yvan is Blue Toad. --MechaWave 14:36, 9 August 2009 (EDT)

wrong, those are the fans opinions on what the names should be, read the entire thing

Some More Enemies To Add
I just watched a video of nsmb wii at e3 and in the mountain stage there are tiny goombas, they jump around randomly and get knocked of the screen when mario touches them


 * Give us a link to the video by typing link title inserting the page's title and a title for the link like video.

Toad's appearance
A trivia says "This is Toad's first playable appearance in a Mario platformer since Super Mario Bros. 2. " I don't think it's correct because SMB2 had Toad the character, but these two are just generic Toads. - 13:44, 30 August 2009 (EDT)

Box-Art?
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/detail.gsp?image=http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/11/13/00/02/02/1113000202915_500X500.jpg&product_id=12509589&iIndex=1&isVariant=false&corpCard=false&type=-9223372036854775808

Could this be the box art?


 * Shouldn't it say "NTSC" on the box somewhere? All PAL games have "PAL" on the front of the cover next to the Nintendo logo. - 15:50, 18 September 2009 (EDT)


 * It's official boxart, and no, that applies to PAL games only.


 * Are you sure?,Nintendo hasn't say any about that,And the ESBR Logo are a little short...We need More Proof.--MATEOELBACAN 19:31, 21 September 2009 (EDT)


 * I sent them a mail, so, let's wait and see how they respond. -- Skawo93

On the other hand, it's pretty unlikely that Wal Mart mocks up their own fake box art. - 13:55, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Hmm..I think that we must wait for their respond (It could be Placeholder),before that we must keep the logo..,and in a part of the link it says "isVariant=false". --MATEOELBACAN 16:10, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Nintendo responds:

"To tell you the truth, I don't know if that's the official box art for the game. However, as you may already know, the game is due to be released sometime before the end of 2009. No doubt, the official art will be revealed before then." (And then usual copy-paste stuff)

So, yeah, it doesn't confirm or deny anything...skawo93

Yeah! Those people that answer E-mails at Nintendo can't help that much because they don't have that information yet. I think the cover is real, because of the new artwork of Luigi and the good background. I think we can keep the Box art on the article, but not yet at the top. If the cover art turns out to be fake we can always replace it. I also want to say that the logo of New Super Mario Bros. Wii is made by me to look almost exactly the same as the original logo. I made this logo to act as a stand-in until the game will be released. If somebody finds an official version of the logo (with a bit of quality), please replace the logo.

Well,keep the logo and leave that boxart in the section Box-Art and we shold wait for more information--MATEOELBACAN 20:54, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

A higher res boxart has been released. Image:3badc537.jpg

Okay, but how do you know if it's the official one? Skawo93 13:15, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

The boxart is on Nintendo.com so it is 100% official!
 * It could be temporary boxart used for promotional reasons. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

I think it isn't temporary. And if a newer updated box appears, we can reupload it.

I also agree and have evidence. If you go to this link, you'll see that the boxes for games like SMG2 and Metroid: Other M have TEMP (temporary) on the lower-right corner, but this game's box does not.

Well,this is the official Box Art but maybe Nintendo could change it some later..--MATEOELBACAN 21:35, 2 October 2009 (EDT)

Highly unlikely. But, when I visited the EU Nintendo site, the New Super Mario Bros. Wii cover was still unknown. So European cover is unknown for now.  Now something different. The North American cover of New Super Mario Bros. Wii seems to be based on the Japanese cover of New Super Mario Bros. for DS and not the American. Most of the Japanese DS game cases are black, but the Japanese game cases of NSMB were yellow instead. This was not the case with the other versions of NSMB. In North America and Australia the case was still black and in Europe still transparent. Will the New Super Mario Bros. Wii case be red instead of white? And if so, will it only count for the Japan or also for the other regions? No information about this jet.

Yoshi's Sounds
I found a video and in the first 3 seconds, you hear the SMW noise when Mario gets on the yellow Yoshi.
 * It's true but how does this help the article? - 07:06, 1 October 2009 (EDT)
 * You're right, it's probably just a placeholder.

Demo Play
Hey, on GameFAQs there's a topic called something like "Dang, this game won't play itself." It explains what demo play actually turned out to be in the link. Seems sort of useful.
