this product was exactly what i was expecting. no complaints here!

Biught this item, but was very confused on how to play it.

Great Mario title that was pretty out there for the time.

I purchased for someone under the age if 10 do I hope they like it

We have missed super Mario and this is a different outlook for him.

Always enjoy playing Mario games - been doing so for a long time.

Super Mario in space and beyond ... A classic game made better.

It's a good game for the family to sit down with. Recommended

Honestly expected slot more from this game, very boring and not lots to do.

i bought this game for my granddaughter and she loved it

Bought this for my friends 6 year old son, he loved it!

MY GRANDSON LOVES IT AND I AM LEARNING TO PLAY IT TOO.

Bought for my son for Christmas. Basic game to help him learn video game.

Classic Mario fashion, my kids love to play together or alone

I don't understand this game, my 5 year likes to play and just fly around but you can only do 1 player and it's not really playing against things - its more of a video.

It is an ok game but no so exciting . The Super Mario title is deceiving and no comparison with the other Super Mario games that I have used.

Nice spin on classic game. It's a good way to introduce a newer, younger generation to the world of Mario Brothers.

Typical Mario game except you run around the world. I get borderline motion sickness from it.

I've played Super Mario since I got my first SNES for my ninth birthday and he's been, more or less, a major part of my experiences playing video games. Whether it was Super Mario World, or Super Mario All-stars or even Super Mario RPG (I am an RPG fanatic), Super Mario was and still is the SNES for me. But I must confess, I never grew up with the N64 or the GameCube so perhaps my credendtials aren't as good as anyone who has played the Mario games I haven't on the GBA or the GameCube. I only ever got to play Super Mario 64 with my reletives. I downloaded Super Mario 64 on Virtual Console and, while it's still fun, it just doesn't hold my attention for long. I doubt I'll ever beat it. All that aside, I hope you would still trust my judgement when I say this is the funnest and greatest 3D platformer I've ever played and it held my attention until I got all 120 stars, unlocked Luigi, and got 100 more as him. This game is beautiful and plays like a dream. I honestly couldn't have imagined having so much fun shaking and pointing the Wii Remote but this game incorperates it in such a way that pointing and shaking go beyond mere novelty and actually make the game even stronger. Collecting star bits with the star cursor and then aiming at enemies while controlling Mario with the Nunchuck is a minor task in multi-tasking that is rewarding and stimulating. Mario himself plays spectacularly with all his classic Super Mario 64 acrobatic moves intact. His punch-punch-kick combo has been replaced with a simple spin-punch attack that feels less redundant and far more suited to attacking in multiple directions. Occasionally, Mario will have to pull off some tricky wall-jumping moves that feel reminiscent of wall-jumping in Mega Man X. The camra always situates itself just right for these segments and never hinders you once. The camra moves itself almost always to just where you need it when you need it. Only a few times are you not able to move it manually the way you want and that, quite frankly, is the only complaint I could come up with. Now let's talk about level design. My goodness is it gorgeous and mind-bending! Mario will constantly defy gravity and he is able to run right side up and upside down depending on which side of a heveanly body you are on. You'll find yourself moving your head from side to side trying to reorient yourself on instinct. This game takes lots of hand-eye coordination to play and will force you to hone your skills and senses. This ulimately makes conquering a level and getting that last star-piece all the more fulfilling. Levels can vary from lush, green worlds alive with life to arrid deserts to all your classic platforming cliches, including lava levels and ice levels; even the Super Mario World ghost houses make a return. Some worlds might be made entirely out of food or toys. Some worlds are made of geometric patterns that bend the mind and test your vertigo further. My favorite levels are the ones that look like tropical paradises. If heaven exists, that's what I imagine it looks like. Everything from gameplay to music to graphics and level design only further cement Mario's place in the video gaming world as the definitive platforming character who will never fade away and continue to attract fans young and old, or in my case, estranged. The good folks at Nintendo should be proud of themselves. This is the kind of game you saw in your dreams when you tried imagine how much better gaming could get when you were younger. If you get any game for the Wii, let it be this. Let it be this.

It is a super cool game and I love the idea but it's hard for 7 or 8 year olds....
