So many aspects of Mario's past are crammed into New Super Mario Bros
Wii, but it's certainly not against throwing new ideas into the mix.
We've already taken a look at some of its new enemies, a quick video
runthrough of World 7-5, and the series debut of teamkilling, but we've
seen very little in terms of how motion control will be incorporated
into the title. While the Wii remote can be given a quick shake to pick
up items or give your propeller suit a boost, it also factors
into some levels in a much bigger way.
Check out the video below to see footage of one
such level. As Mario travels a dark cave on a raft, the player can
control the direction of a spotlight by tilting the remote. Most of
World 6-6 is shrouded in darkness, so manipulating the light while you
stomp bats and Hammer Bros. is a must. In addition to the spotlight,
you can illuminate various areas via fireballs or an invincibility
star. You'll see both of these in the video, as well as brief looks at
the propeller suit, propeller hat, and ice flower.
