Probably the biggest adventure on the Wii so far.
The graphics of the game are everything I’d of expected from a Mario title, the bright colours of the landscapes are there ready to blind you like every Nintendo title does oh so well. The appearance and set out of the game works fantastically as you set out on a quest trying to retain the “Pure Hearts” back from the evil that is Count Bleck, but be warned don’t expect absolute crispness that’s not what has been aimed to achieve same goes for previous titles in the genre. The gameplay of SPM is tremendous as it makes use of the Wii-remote well as you flip it sideways and use it like an old school NES pad which is comfortable especially for such a lengthy game. Sound wise it’s all the typical Nintendo sounds and theme tunes which unless you’ve always been a fan, you may find it a little bit irritating but it ties in with the style of the game really quite well. I find SPM to be a good step up from it’s predecessor’s albeit it’s not as long but I found that was due to the turn based battle system being dropped as fights and boss fights can be achieved much quicker than usual. I would recommend SPM to any Wii owners looking for a lengthy adventure with Mario, Peach and Bowser……
…… Oh and Luigi.
