Since the Nintendo Wii came out last year, many die hard gamers have been amazed with excitement over the way gamers can now play video games with the controller and most games have made fantastic use of this unique controller. There have been a lot of great games for it like The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and cooking mama. Sadly, many gamers have been anxiously waiting the new Super Mario Galaxy, and hoping Mario would make his appearance on the console soon. Unfortunately, gamers will have to wait. However, a different Mario game has arrived which is great for Mario fans, Paper Mario from the Gamecube and Nintendo 64. There also is something that makes this paper Mario seem better, but will it satisfy Mario fans for now?

Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Wii, brings back what made the Paper Mario games deliver in true role play utilising the controller supremely well. This time around, the game really does think out of the box, as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser try to tackle the vicious Count Bleck and his minions Mr. L, Dimentio and others, as they tackle a wild world. Each character has to unlock pixels, which help you through achievements from finding hidden doors, to defeating the challenging bosses. There are over 30 different levels in the game that bring back the classic 2-D action from the original Super Mario Brothers game, with a different twist. Each character you play has a special ability. Peach and Luigi have a high jump, Bowser has the traditional fire-blazes, but Mario has the best ability, He can flip his world from a 2-D, to 3-D, to find hidden items and hidden areas. The graphics in the game are compellingly beautiful, and really bring the game play into a whole new light, while the control is really spot on most of the time. You do get a bit frustrated finding the unlocked doors. The story line also is written well and is entertaining in each world of the game, while the story is enjoyable for all the worlds.

Super Paper Mario is a compelling game for the Wii, and should lure new Mario fans, as well as those waiting for Super Mario Galaxy. The game is fun and exciting, for all ages and Nintendo lovers. This is one of the best games for the Wii so far, and any owner will love this game.
