Brilliant!
Graphics
~~~~~~~~
Ahhh, I just adore these graphics. The water suspended in mid-air is brilliant I could just stare at it all day...except then I'd need glasses. The graphics are surprisingly good for a Wii game and the characters look amazing. Not that I usually care about graphics that much, but this is lovely.
Sound
~~~~~
Nothing special with the sound effects, although I sometimes make sounds like them in Sync with them. The music is nice and memorable. What else to say here? Oh! One of the things I didn't like was that every so often Rosaleen would talk for a few words then stop. Nintendo should have just stuck with the word-dialogue.
Game play
~~~~~~~~~
Ok some people had a problem with the motion controls, but I just say, "Get over it." It takes a while to get used to spinning around but after a hour or two you'll be pro. The only problem with moving around is planet hopping which is sometimes frustrating at time. The game is a bit easy at the start, but fear not. It gets harder later on. Bosses are generally fun but easy. The game is pretty linear, but it's not that bad. You can 'beat the game', but then you've still got tons of stars left to acquire which will be a joy exploring all the far-fetched worlds.
Story
~~~~~
Same old, some old. Peach gets captured, Bowser acts cocky and gets owned old by Mario.
Overall this game is a superb masterpiece which any Mario fan would love!
