Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of Luigi in his very first starring role in a platform adventure, set within the world of New Super Luigi U. With Mario nowhere to be found, you must navigate over 80 brand-new, fast-paced courses where every level challenges you with a strict 100-second timer and Luigi's distinct physics, featuring high jumps and unique slides. Enjoy high replayability as you master each demanding course alone or with up to five players, including the invincible newcomer Nabbit. Whether playing via the downloadable expansion or the standalone physical release, share your triumphs with the community and help Luigi finally save Princess Peach's captured castle!

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is an action-packed 2.5D side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo. When Bowser Jr. and his minions crash Princess Peach's birthday celebration and kidnap her inside a giant Airship, Mario, Luigi, and their Toad companions embark on a daring rescue mission across numerous creative worlds. Building upon classic platforming roots, the game introduces exciting power-ups like the Propeller Mushroom and Penguin Suit alongside simultaneous multiplayer support for up to four players. Players can experience cooperative teamwork or competitive play as they navigate challenging new levels, defeat iconic enemies, and journey to save the princess.
