This game is great in 2-D and even better in 3-D. Let the adventure unflod.
The gameplay is like new super mario bros and the original game. You can play as Mario,Peach,Bowser and the forth character is Luigi. Thats good for the people who wanted to play as him in the old games. The battles are like more of the jumping and hitting not like an RPG kind of battle. You have more control with this battle system than the old one.They really streched the paper fact alot in this game. Mario has the ability to flip the world on its side so you can see what couldn't be seen in 2-D and you can acces new ledges to get to new places. You also have these pixils sorta like little fairies. They give you new abilites that will be extremly helpful as you play the game. There is one pixil that will always be by mario side Tippy. If you flip the remote to a pointer a sorta flashlight appears on the screen. You can use it to identify enemies and make stairs,ledges and doors appear. Also when you hit enemies you will get points and if you get enough you will level up just like in a RPG and if you shake the controler you will do stylish move and get even more points. You can hold items that can attack or heal your heart points.
The graphics are really nice to the series. The graphics look beautiful in 2-D and 3-D. The 2-D graphics are really a tribute to old mario games. The sound is great and the music is like any mario game.
To finish this review all wii owners sould owe it to themselves to get this game. It is a great platformer and RPG game. You can treat it as a RPG,platformer or just as a adventure. This game sould get a award for it great gameplay.
