If you get mad at someone you can pick them up and throw them at a piranha plant. You can hit a block and take every mushroom, for instance. It takes some getting used to, and the running commentary of grievances from the other players is one of the biggest draws of the game. You can jump on each other's heads to grab hard-to-reach coins and items. At any point you can hit the A button and enter a floating bubble, allowing more talented players to finish a tricky section before bringing you back into play. As long as someone has lives left, play continues, and when someone does die they float back on the screen until someone pops their bubble and brings them back into active participation.

You'll be looking for the three big coins, you'll be able to find multiple exits in some stages, you'll be asked to collect eight strategically placed red coins before the time runs out. You'll find spinning platforms, tricky jumps, and a myriad of secondary challenges in each level. Are you already angry?Īll this may sound like incremental improvements, but each new gameplay tweak is used to great effect in the levels themselves.
The new flower also gives you the ability to freeze baddies, and the blocks of ice that result from your ice blasts can be used as stepping stones, picked up and thrown, or simply walked past. The penguin suit gives you the ability to freeze enemies and to slide along levels on your belly. The propeller suit allows you to fly to great heights and then gently return to Earth. The additions to the core gameplay are slight, but add an extra layer of complexity to the proceedings. In some sections you'll be asked to tilt to the Wiimote left or right to move a platform or to control a spotlight, but the gimmick is never overused.
Giving the Wiimote a quick shake will also cause your character to do a spin-jump, which flings projectiles to both sides of your character if you have a fire or ice flower. The one addition to the controls is the ability to pick up players and items by holding a button and shaking the Wiimote, and this is much less annoying than it sounds. This is classic Mario in every sense of the word you'll find enemies and situations from almost all the past games, and since you can play the game with two buttons, anyone can pick up a a controller and participate.
