About New Super Mario Bros. Wii

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a side-view platform game released on November 12, 2009, for the Wii, and it is also available on the Wii U. It is part of the Super Mario series and the wider Mario franchise, and it is published by Nintendo with development handled by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development. The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB and PEGI 3.

The game follows a side-scrolling, adventure-style structure with action and comedy themes. Players can run through the game alone or join others in multiplayer and co-operative modes, which support up to four players at once. Its side-view perspective keeps the focus on moving through each level.

The game is noted for bringing in its own new elements, including a Propeller Mushroom and a Penguin Suit power-up that change the player character into propeller and penguin forms. These additions sit alongside a set of new levels, items, and enemies that are included in the package.
