It's a great game, though with the cannons I beat it in less than an hour, but I didn't even get a look at all but four worlds.

I really HATE the fact that you can't play as Luigi in Single Player. I have despised playing as Mario in games since Super Mario Bros 2. In the Old days I would play with two players and Kill mario in the first pit just to play as Luigi.
 
How did I not know this game was released on Sunday. I missed out on a t-shirt from the preorder. Bleh.

Can you play any other characters besides Mario in single player? What about multi-player? Are they all available, or just Mario, Luigi, and Toad?
 
I look forward to the New Zelda on Dec 7.
My Mario Brothers arrived yesterday and was promptly hidden. Zelda will suffer the same fate.

Sadly Single Player is just Mario. Unless there is a code the Internet hasn't discovered yet which I doubt. In multiplayer you can choose from Luigi, or two toads, but I think first player is always Mario. Could be wrong though, haven't tried it yet.
 
Thanks. I found a video and watched it, the game looks awesome. I'm going to pick it up before Friday to play with a friend. Super Mario DS was a blast, so I'm only expecting greatness from this game. :)
 
So, I’m loving to so far. They include a lot of little throwbacks from Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World that are neat to find (no spoilers).

The only thing I hate is having to shake the damn controller to pick up an item. It gets annoying quickly. However, I haven’t tried playing it with the nun chuck yet. Maybe that avoids it.

yeah I still haven't got the hang of the shake, but I guess it's a compromise for the Sideways wiimote.

This game is like if SMB3 and SMW had sexins and made a baby.

I JUST WANT LUIGI IN SINGLEPLAYER!!
 
Man, I'm stoked to play it. I got it yesterday, but haven't cracked it open yet because I've been too busy!

Studying for finals gets in the way of valuable gaming time.......
 
I snagged it on Sunday after the gf nearly flipped out when I told her it was coming out that day... And we got to world 4 that afternoon, beating every level and getting every giant coin thus far.

It's fun... but... I dunno, feels SUPER easy. Like, REALLY easy. I know we are playing co-op but still, it's not difficult. The bosses are a joke, they are too much like SMB3. The suits are good, but the propeller suit is kinda rare and ultimately less awesome than the leaf/tanuki/cape and so far the game has focused on the ice flower too much.


I think Jeff Gherstmann from Giant Bomb had it right, Nintendo had a chance to make something new and crazy, but decided instead to just mush together two old games. It's fun, but nostalgia fun.
 
I picked up the game yesterday. I must say it's been a blast so far. I'm on world 4, but i haven't found all the exits and secrets yet. And i'm no where near done collecting all the coins. I haven't gotten a chance to try multiplayers yet, but i suspect that will make it tons more fun.

Does anyone else love how all the enemies on the screen always do a dance when the music goes "BAH BAH"? It always makes me laugh :D
 
Just got to World 8 today. It's much easier on multiplayer. I've avoided warping because I wanted to play every stage. I love how all the worlds are recreations from Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3.
