History VideoGame / NewSuperMarioBrosWii

''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' is a 2009 {{Platformer}} VideoGame for the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, and the sequel to ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'' on the DS and the second overall ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' game. It's the second ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' VideoGame for the Wii, the first being ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. Unlike ''Galaxy'', it is a side-scrolling ''Mario'' game, and plays like its predecessor, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', while having a mixture of 3D and 2D graphics. It's the first Mario game since ''VideoGame/MarioBros'' to let multiple people play cooperatively at the same time [[{{Griefer}} (for a certain definition of "cooperatively")]], with this game being the first to allow up to four players at once in side-scrolling levels, and the first 2D Mario platformer for consoles since ''World''. ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'' for the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS allowed competitive play in a set of competitive-only levels, but did not allow players to take on the levels of the main game together.

** Classic Spikes show up for the first time since their debut in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''. While variants have been shown in other games, such as Clubbas in the ''Paper Mario'' games, Tolstar in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'', and most notably the Snow Spikes in the [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros previous game]], this is the first time the originals reappear.

It starts out at Princess Peach's birthday party, which features an unusually large cake. It turns out that TheCakeIsALie, and the seven Koopalings plus Bowser Junior jump out of it. They kidnap Peach [[ExcusePlot (again),]] taking her into an airship. They fly across the Mushroom Kingdom, with Mario, Luigi, and two Toads taking chase.

%% * KillItWithFire: The Fire Flower, unchanged from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros.''
%% * KillItWithIce: The Ice Flower and the Penguin Suit -- notable in that there are some enemies resistant to fireballs which get easily taken out with this, and vice versa.

* MythologyGag: As with the DS game, there is a homage to World 1-1 from the first ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' and a Bowser battle that can be defeated simply by breaking the bridge and dropping Bowser in the lava (or down a pit ala ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''), replacing the axe with a button.

* RemixedLevel: A few of the exclusive Coin Battle courses are remixed levels from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' updated for the CoOpMultiplayer.

%% * CoOpMultiplayer: With teamwork, you can do lots of things that would otherwise be impossible to do alone (without a specific power-up, anyways). Without teamwork, see VideoGameCrueltyPotential.

%%* InvisibleBlock: Which are often blocks that don't exist until the player hits the location.

%% * RemixedLevel: A few of the exclusive Coin Battle courses from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros''.

%% * SmashToBlack: Happens in TheStinger. [[spoiler:Doesn't stop you from ''hear''ing the castle land on Bowser.]]

%% * TeethClenchedTeamwork: The multiplayer has a knack for varying between this and EnemyMine.
%% * ThoseTwoGuys: Blue Toad and Gold Toad don't even have names.
%% * ThrowABarrelAtIt: The barrels here work almost the same way as in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''.
