Finally got around to play New Super Mario Bros for the original Wii.
This is the first 2D Mario platformer I played since Super Mario 3, so that's super exciting.
I enjoyed the game a lot, but there are a couple things keeping it from being great:
- It's too easy. I got 99 lives in no time.
- Getting all the stars usually requires having the helicopter power at certain spots in the level
- Controls are a bit iffy at times. I hate how he jumps against walls, since it usually torpedoes you into an enemy.
- Limit power ups. The tiny mushroom doesn't really add much and you don't really need any of the other items since you can easily get the one you need in that specific level.
- Music isn't as memorable as the older games.
- First ghost house was by far the hardest
