New Super Luigi Wii (stylized as New Super Luigi Bros. Wii) is an expansion game for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, released as part of the Year of Luigi, celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of Luigi's initial debut. It features Luigi as the main player, with Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and, notably, Wario (who replaces Mario from the original game) playable in multiplayer mode.[2] Although it refers to him, the game does not feature Mario himself at all.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is largely similar to its base game, except that the playable characters retain Luigi's higher jump and lower traction from Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. The game has been designed to be more difficult, with each stage starting at only 100 seconds; due to this, however, the courses have also been made shorter than normal while also being packed with enemies and obstacles. While the levels have all been altered from the base game, the world map itself has not been. Elements like items, power-ups, Star Coins, Toad Houses, Enemy Courses, and bosses are retained as such.
The multiplayer of New Super Luigi Wii is also retained from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. However, because Mario is not featured in this game, Wario is instead used as the fourth playable character.
Controls[]
When playing on a Wii or Wii U, the game requires a Wii Remote by itself horizontally or attached to the Nunchuk. The controller for the Nvidia Shield TV has a more conventional layout and lacks the same motion-sensing capabilities of the Wii Remote. To compensate, actions that originally involved shaking the Wii Remote are performed by pressing the trigger or bumper buttons.
