Finally, Mario for the Wii has finally been released. This The storyline starts off very quickly. As you approach Princess Peach’s castle, Bowser shows up and takes her, as well as her castle, off into space. Like every other Mario game, it’s up to you to save her.
The graphics in this game are stunning. Due to the lighting, everything seems shiny and rubbery. The graphics are also very smooth and of course cartoonish. I never played Super Mario Sunshine, but I think it’s safe to say that this is the best looking Mario game yet. The music is great. Not only are there new songs in the soundtrack, but a lot of old tunes have been rehashed and integrated into the game.
The gameplay is some of the most unique gameplay that has been seen in a while. You shoot from planet to planet, and the some of the planets are only a few seconds walking distance to get around. Since the gravity of these planets keeps you from falling off, you can get disoriented traveling around. You will sometimes be running sideways or even upside down trying to solve puzzles. The physics engine of the game is extremely well designed with planet gravity as well as the pulling and pushing of Mario through certain worlds. The controls are extremely simple and easy to pick up. They really use the Wiimote well. As for difficulty, the game hasn’t been too bad yet. There was one level that really started to grind on my nerves, but so far, the levels have been pretty moderate. Nintendo really is pushing more towards the casual gamer group.
The characters of this game are extremely cute. Aside from Mario, there are also the Toads and the Lumas (star creatures). For some reason, I just really enjoy the Lumas.
I’m kind of curious as to why Peach speaks perfectly good English, but when Bowser speaks, it is completely unintelligible.
