New Super Mario Bros. allows up to four players to run through side-scrolling worlds reminiscent of the classic Super Mario Bros. games with up to four people. Players take on the role of Mario, Luigi and two Toads.

The game won’t support online play because the title uses up all of the Wii’s processing power, Miyamoto said.
He added that hitting the processing limits of a console is something that developers strive to do, and that processing limitations is an issue that developers have been dealing with since the 8-bit age.
