The Pros:Design harkens back to the timeless Mario scrollers while incorporating newer content from the later 3D Mario games - huge nostalgia factor. Brings back some great original tunes, remixes others, includes great new music too. Real multi-player - multiple characters on the screen at the same time, play competitively or cooperatively.
The Cons:Limited character selection - Mario, Luigi or two different Toads. Cannot utilize the classic controller to play. Players get in the way of each other. while this can play an important roll in competitiveness, it can be rather annoying when in tight spaces, trying to help each other.

#new_super_mario_bros_wii I love this Game, not only is it nostalgic, but it keeps to much of the original styles of game play. Introducing 4 players is a great addition. (in part, this too should have given Nintendo a good reason to Call it Super Mario 4)
One Nagging item bothers me about this game though... Will all the time and energy they put into making this game they decided NOT to name the other 'toads' we'll call them, or got lazy and didn't want to bother introducing a new character.
Why not have a Female Toad? What ever, they screwed up there... but it has no side effects on the game play.
if you are thinking of getting this game cuase it seems like the older style game, don't hesitate... its what you think it is and more.
have fun!
