    Que el ataque giratorio se haga con el sensor de movimiento es lo más estúpido que haya visto en toda la vida. No sé quién es el hijo de la re mil mierd4 al que se le ocurrió pero es un maldit0 retrasad0 mental. SOLO por el movimiento de presionar el botón a veces se mueve y te arruina la partida, no entiendo por qué CARAJOS NO REDUJERON LA SENSIBILIDAD NECESARIA PARA ACTIVARLO.

    No sé a cuál japonés se le ocurrió que debería ser obligatorio usar el control de movimiento para girar, pero no tiene idea de jugar videojuegos, es un infinito asco tener qur usar eso, además porquebse activa solo con un movimiento muy ligero, eso provoca muchos suicidios. Una mierda de desición que arruina un buen juego.

    This game is terrible. My brother and I tried for hours to play together and it was sheer torture. This game is a relentlessly unforgiving and punishing hell. There isn't real strategy or enjoyment, just the same "dodge this, jump that" redundant garbage. Don't buy this game unless you love to torture yourself and desire an ulcer.

    Possibly the worst game ever played. To say the controls are sluggish would be the understatement of the year. It isn't that the game itself is hard in design, it is on par with other fun 2D mario games, however the developers went way over the top with handicapping the player with slow, laggy movements. You might as well be trying to play this game with mittens on.

    The game is unoriginal and way too difficult, and not difficult as in challenging, but rather difficult as in cheap. Really easy to die and when you do die you usually lose a lot of progress, and playing the game with other people is borderline impossible thanks to the bizarre decision on the part of the developers to make characters wildly bounce off each other.

Also, the music is absolutely awful, every song has this one horrendous sound effect used constantly. The gameplay is decent enough when it isn't frustrating but those moments are few and far between. I would recommend taking a pass on this one.… Expand

    This is the worst Mario game to have ever been created since Super Mario 3. Do yourself a favor and get Mario Party 8 instead of this if you want a REAL Mario game.

    I would not recommend this game to long time Mario fans. If you play Mario 3 and Super Mario World a lot, I doubt you would like this. In SMB3 and World, Mario is very quick, light, and agile. In this game he is very slow and clunky, and he can't even turn around properly. The stages are pretty bland and it was like they used this new, slower Mario as a way of justifying that.

I'm not saying the game shouldn't be set relative to its own mechanics but in SMB3 and World, you had to be quick. The fast-pacedness was what kept the games fun and NSMBW took that away from the Mario series.… Expand

    First we got the disappointement of Super Mario Galaxy, and now this, the worst Mario game ever, it might be original with the new powers and stuff, but it is all the same, I regret in playing and buying this game.

    Honestly, there is nothing new here. It's just cashing in on the nostalgia of people who enjoyed the good ol days of super mario bros and super mario world. This type of repackaging with a fresh coat of paint would usually warrant a 5/10 because they're emulating a game that was pretty damn good. The problem is that they did change something, they managed to make the controls unresponsive and ****

    The game is really bad, does not worth de price, cant believe nintendo is make horrible games like this, further using one of the most acclaimed gaming franchises. Controls are bad, does not have support wii classic control, and the graphics, oh my... the graphics are horrible, another frustrated nintendo fan. wii is a total failure, wii u will be worse

    El juego puede ser demasiado divertido para algunas personas pero dando mi opinión es malo y aburrido, pues demuestra ser saltos y saltos con muy poco que sobresalir.

    It is Bowser and here it comes: Bwa, mwa, mu ha ha ha ha, Marioooooooo!

    Player: pleaaseeeee not agaiiiin!

    4 out of 10, the eternal short story reuse is getting annoying. What is the point of having the same story? Just call it a platform game.

    Ok, I see maybe it looks more complete even with this reuse and justifies the higher price.
    Ok it is Nintendo.

    I can't even review this game. Not because it's terrible, it's just so dull. It works perfectly fine and if you love Super Mario Bros. 3 and want what amounts to a remake, here you go. But it's just not my thing (I was always more of a Super Mario World fan).

    Oh, and the multiplayer is more antagonistic than MarioKart.

    Gameplay is unfair.
    Sometime you have to make leap of faith. Sometime you can't tell if it's a wall you can bounce to or It's in background. Physics are counterintuitive（Worse than NES mario）... AVGN level of bad

    Enjoying Mario in the genre that saw him born is always a great pleasure, even if you are not a fan of the platform titles. Nintendo returns to its specialty: to offer hours and hours of fun by giving us games with their own personality and a shellproof gameplay.

    That sense of cohesiveness isn't always present in New Super Mario Bros. and it makes for an uneven experience that's difficult to score.

    New Super Mario Bros. Wii is an excellent game with friends, and I had a great deal of challenging fun with the solo mode. But if you’re looking for a new Mario adventure that’s tailored to creating the maximum amount of fun for just one person, you’ll have to wait for next year’s Super Mario Galaxy 2.
