Overview
Announced during E3 2009, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a platforming game set in the Mushroom Kingdom. Visually, the title draws many similarities to the 2006 DS title New Super Mario Bros. with similar character models, backdrops, and scores. The story goes that Mario and Luigi are at Peach's castle during a celebration, a suspicious looking cake comes in for the cake sliding. It gets thrown into the room, right on top of the Princess, and wanders out of the room with the princess trapped inside. The Koopalings kidnap her, leaving Mario, Luigi, Yvan and Wolley to save her.
Like in New Super Mario Bros., players have an extended move-set that includes the wall kick and ground pound. They can also physically interact with other players such as jumping on their heads or carrying and throwing them around. As well as this, Yoshis, who are able to eat enemies and other players, feature in the game. Early hands-on impressions report the inclusion of a number of Koopa Kids, who have not appeared in a true Mario title since Super Mario World.
The Super Guide is a new feature designed to help less-skilled players bypass sections of the game that are presenting them with a great deal of difficulty. Players that die eight times on a single stage will be given the option to activate the Super Guide by hitting a special block that spawns at the beginning of the level. By hitting this block, the player's character Mario is replaced with a computer-controlled Luigi, who will proceed through the stage via a prerecorded playthrough by a Nintendo developer. The Super Guide remains in effect only for the stage it was activated on, and the player can take control of Luigi to attempt completing the stage at any time.

Gameplay
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is played as a 2D platformer, but features graphics in a 3D engine (see 2.5D) The game can be played cooperatively, with up to four players joining the game on-the-fly. The E3 2009 trailer features, in addition to Mario and Luigi, a pair of Toads, named Yvan and Wolley. If a player dies during a cooperative game, he or she will be resurrected and return to the screen floating around in a bubble, which others can burst to bring the player back into play. At the end of levels, players are scored and ranked depending on a number of factors, including lives remaining.Like in New Super Mario Bros., players have an extended move-set that includes the wall kick and ground pound.

Power-Ups
Visible in the E3 trailer are a number of new power-ups. Characters can wear what appears to be a propeller suit, which allows them to launch up into the air before spinning back to the ground. Also present is a penguin suit, which, while worn, allows the character to shoot ice balls. These freeze enemies, which can in turn be used as platforms. The fire flower also makes a reappearance.Super Guide
