New Super Mario Bros. Wii

The gameplay is similar to previous Mario games, with players jumping, dashing, and grabbing power-ups like the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower. New power-ups have been added, such as the Propeller Hat, Ice Flower, and Penguin Suit, which provide new abilities for players. Yoshi returns as well, allowing players to ride him and eat enemies and berries in levels.

The Wii Remote's tilting feature is used in creative ways throughout the game. Players can use it to activate certain parts of levels, such as jumping onto specific platforms or aiming a light on a boat. Shaking the Wii Remote while wearing the Propeller Hat causes the player to fly straight up, and shaking it near objects picks them up or throws them.

The game features a "Super Guide" mode, which allows players to progress through the game even if they're struggling with difficult levels. When a player dies eight times in total in a level, Luigi will take over and play through the level, showing them how to complete it.
