Absolutely the best Mario game ever since Super Mario 64.
When I started to play it I was very thrilled with the gameplay and the control is so excellent that you couldn't stop playing it. The moves that Mario does are definitly the same in Super Mario 64 but in this one there is a new move he can do and thats a spinning attack just by shaking the Wii remote. To make him blast off on a jump star or launch star, just simply shake the remote when Mario is in the centre of the star and when I did that, that was my favorite bit in the game.
When you collect the Star bits, you can either run up to collect them or you can point at them so they can come straight towards you. When you collect 50 Star bits you get an extra life, the more 50 Star bits you collect the more lives you get. Also the Star bits are your currency so if you see a hungry Luma around, he will ask you to feed him the amount of Star bits he wants so he can unlock a hidden place for you. You can also fire Star bits at enemies so they will be stunned so you can eliminate them in time.
Another feature is the Mushrooms in the game and they come in a set of different colours:
Green Mushroom- Extra Life
Red/White Star Mushroom- Extra energy bar
Black/Yellow Mushroom- Bee Mario
Metal Mushroom- Spring Mario
White Mushroom- Boo Mario
The invincibility star makes a return so when you get that, Mario will be invincible for a limited time and he will be Rainbow Mario.
There are 2 Flowers in the game that come in a set of colours:
Yellow/ Orange Flower- Flower Power Mario
Blue/White Flower- Ice Mario
Overall for anyone who has a Wii, this game is for you and if you want to play the game for 2 players there is the 2 player Co.p mode. One person playing as Mario and the other with the second pointer with the Remote if you want to make the game easier for you.
I think Nintendo had done a brilliant job making this game, the music score is orchestrated brilliantly and I think everybody should have a copy if it now.
Buy it now.
