New Super Mario Bros. Wii
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a 2009 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. A follow-up to New Super Mario Bros., it was first released in Australia, North America, and Europe in November 2009, followed by Japan a month later. It was released on the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2016, though only in Europe, Australia and Japan. A port in high definition resolution for the Nvidia Shield TV was released only in China in December 2017. Like other side-scrolling Super Mario games, the player controls Mario as he travels eight worlds and fights Bowser's army to save Princess Peach. New Super Mario Bros. Wii was the first Super Mario game to feature simultaneous cooperative multiplayer gameplay; up to four people can play in cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, taking control of Mario as well as Luigi and two Toads, Yellow Toad and Blue Toad. The game also introduced "Super Guide", which allows the player to watch a computer-controlled character complete a level.

Where New Super Mario Bros. Wii sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where New Super Mario Bros. Wii lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 73ahead of 26% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 57ahead of 94% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
