Join Mario as he ushers in a new era of video games, defying gravity across all the planets in the galaxy. When some creature escapes into space with Princess Peach, Mario gives chase, exploring bizarre planets all across the galaxy. Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore the many planets. For Mario to succeed, gamers will press buttons, swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers and even use the Wii Remote to point at and drag things on-screen.

Features:

  • Characters: Mario, Peach and enemies new and old
  • How to progress through the game: Players run, jump and battle enemies as they explore all the planets in the galaxy
  • Controls: Since this game makes full use of all the features of the Wii Remote, players have to do all kinds of things to succeed: pressing buttons, swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer
  • Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Since he's in space, Mario can perform mind-bending jumps unlike anything he's done before. He'll also have a wealth of new moves that are all based around tilting, pointing and shaking the Wii Remote
  • Shake, tilt and point!: Mario takes advantage of all the unique aspects of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller, unleashing new moves as players shake the controller and even point at and drag items with the pointer
  • Mario essentially defined the 3-D platforming genre with Super Mario 64, and this game proves once again that he is King. Players perform mind-bending, low-gravity jumps across wild alien terrain as they experience platforming for a new generation.

Everything a Platformer Should be

"This game was incredible! In the past, whenever Nintendo launched a new console one was left with a controller that made no sense until the Mario game came out. With the Wii, the controller instantly makes sense when it is first held, but the genius of motion control is really at work in this game. This is quite simply what games should feel like and a perfect experience for gamers/non-gamers adult and child a..." Read Full Review »

beautiful game just beautiful!!!!

"There are so many great things about this game that make it special. It is a must have for your Christmas shopping experience for your children. You can play as Luigi (which is why I bought the game just for him), as well as Mario. It is a takeoff of where Mario 64 left off. I've been waiting 11 years for this game and let me say it was worth it!! And thats about the only thing bad about it, the time it took to ..." Read Full Review »
