    I picked this up a few hours ago at Wal Mart. I'm finished with the 1st world and this game is awesome. Any 2D Mario fan should pick this up. If you liked New Super Mario Bros DS you'll like this too. I should go buy 2 more controllers now so me and all the kids can play 4 player together. #newsupermariobroswii

    I actually kinda like this. Just exploding or melting Lego people comes off rather dull in a game where you regularly blow them up. This new scene does a much better job of capturing the energy and intensity of the scene by holding on to just the bare plot essentials from the movie. Besides, doing a highly faithful representation of the movies kinda defeats the purpose of creating a Lego Indy game in the first place. If the developers are letting themselves have this much fun creating the game, I am going to be highly looking forward to the completed product. #legoindianajones2

    I hope that wasn't the midway checkpoint from the start of the ingame video, otherwise these levels are super short.

    @Demonbird: Lately I've been getting the impression that people have to purposely kill themselves to even see the Continue screen. Never once did I see that in Galaxy because every time I started the game I'd be given multiple lives by Peach.

    If it's anything like the DS game, I think more people are going to lose lives to obtain Star Coins and the secrets in levels. #newsupermariobroswii

    In reply to New Super Mario Bros. Wii In-Game Tips
    That is a very cool video that does show a neat mechanic related to the multi-user ground pound.

    Okay, all of you people that attack anyone that even says anything that seems to be even a little against anything in this game, this is your cue!

    Why did it have to show exactly how to do it in an exact level pulled from the game? Why not have a standard level and have text boxes saying, 'The Multi-Ground Pound will turn enemies into points! If you have enough enemies on screen, you can get extra lives, like this!' Then it could show Mario and Luigi and a Toad freezing some enemies and ground-pounding them as an example. This video takes the thrill of discovery out of that level. Rather than the user looking at the situation (with the many multiple enemies) and thinking, 'hey, maybe we could get some lives out of this!' the user instead goes 'hey, this is the exact spot that one tutorial video showed!'

    You know what, I'll post this comment just so people can be mad. Screw trying to have a conversation. Just get mad, people. #newsupermariobroswii

    @vid3oman64: To give the gamers an in-game example, I'd assume. Some (younger most likely) gamers would understand in theory but wouldn't understand how to apply it to a level in the game. And some maybe wouldn't ever realize you could do some of these tricks.

    Plus it's completely voluntary, so I doubt spoiling it will kill anyone's holiday. #newsupermariobroswii

    @vid3oman64: RAWR!! See? I didn't want to go all Gerbil on you, but you sort of ask for this.

    The thing is that Mario is a casual family game, can't see the "hardcore" type player running for these video or super guide. But for children or even older parents, this is good stuff.

    Considering that gamers regardless of this feature would have just posted numerous youtube videos on this game, this is pretty much just convenience at best. #newsupermariobroswii

    @vid3oman64: RAGE!

    Anyway, it's possibly because there's more levels that feature the same situation. Maybe the video only offers one example of an actual level featured in the game to give the revelation of what could have been done in the given scenario and how having multiple players can benefit you throughout the levels previously traversed.

    You'll still have your "thrill" from discovering all the other possibilities in the game, heaven forbid they showed one actual level. They could have made a make-believe world for this hints, but is it that much of a problem to see hints from actual levels? #newsupermariobroswii

    @vid3oman64: I've been thinking something similar. Those being irritated by the hints should remember that Super Mario World had the same things... hit a hint box and a text balloon would come up and there was a hint to read. You didn't have to read them if you didn't want to, and they didn't [i]show[/i] you what to do, just hinted at it. A better approach. Of course advances in technology from the SNES to the Wii allow this to be a video instead of text... I think this is cool, but I like your idea better. #newsupermariobroswii

    What, no Super Mario Shasta? Where's the Mario Punch, the Luigi Berry?!

    They're all saying "look inside" because there was something printed on the bottom of the inside of the can. I forget what, maybe a contest or something (this was, like, fifteen years ago), but if you're that curious you can probably find some empty cans on eBay.
