Why Newer Super Mario Bros Wii Is The BEST Mario Game- Fans Made A BETTER Game Than Nintendo 

Ehhhh. I mean, I appreciate that you liked it so much, but there's... quite a lot of issues with the level design :v

This brings me back to when I was younger and I begged my parents to get me this game for Christmas, only to find out it was just a mod

Without taking anything away from Nintendo's work, it really goes to show how much people love Mario that just about every major release gets at least one substantial hack like this to give fans more to play. And let's be real, that's gonna happen whether Nintendo's effort is 'lazy' or not. Heck, the good games tend to be the ones that get even more hacks!

5:48 “Why shy guys have rarely appeared in mainline games is beyond me” It’s because they’re shy.

8:30 This is something I feel the recent DKC games also do decently well. Instead of 3 hits to defeat a boss, it's only enough to progress it a phase with 9 hits total. It still kind of follows the same formula that novice players will understand while adding more depth to it and allowing for opportunities to challenge the player more, as well as making beating some of the later, harder bosses even more satisfying.

This game is the reason that I never sold off my homebrew-enabled Wii. I couldn't fathom not playing it again.

Finally… it’s here. Can’t wait to see a review of this fantastic hack. I’ve labeled this game my favorite Mario Game, and I think it does an outstanding job at level design.

Glad to see this mod finally get more love! NewerSMBW was mind blowing to me and my brothers. Because it took a standand Mario game and added some more flavor to it. The autumn and sakura worlds were so fun. Even with there not being many gameplay changes from the original NSMBW, its still really good. If the NSMB games changed at least this much between games, they wouldn't be as disliked now.

It's so GOOD it's crazy how freaking well-made it is, and I would love if Nintendo put this much care into a new NSMB game

Something that realized for the Sakura area in New Super Mario is how much more Japanese Buddhist and minor Shinto inspiration the Newer Team put into it. - The bald Mario statues are a reference to Jizo statues - Jizo (Ksitigarbha) being a bodhisattva relevant in East Asian Forms of Buddhism - The use of Japanese Cherry Blossoms / Sakura - The use of Torii (Shinto gates) - The mountainous location - The pagodas (Much more found in Japanese Buddhism)

8:10 the block throwing seems like a homage to Mario Bros 2! It not only has the birdo's you defeat by throwing it's eggs back at him but also actual blocks you can throw at enemy's in later levels. They, and the resulting gameplay look very, very similar here! Nostalgia bones tickled!😁

Newer Super Mario Bros franchise is AWESOME. I will never forget my experience playing it, it genuinely felt like going back in time and playing NSMBW for the first time as a kid :D

7:00-7:07 It's not luck based, actually. Every Red Toad house cycles between 5-6 patterns, and the patterns cycled through are different for each house, but there are some squares that are always safe. Using this, I guaranteed myself 6 items every time.

I remember playing this game in the beginning of this year and holy it was amazing! The music is outstanding and the levels have amazing themes and elements! They are making a brand new version for their fifth anniversary called Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii Plus and I am very excited for that 😊

My one negative critizism about this fangame is that the Koopalings fights are just the ones where they arn't boosted by Kamek, which makes them boring and easy, I think they should've either made original Koopaling fights, or just have them as the Kamek boosted ones. Besides that, this game is a complete masterpiece.

This is my favorite modern 2d mario. It honestly is more different than U was to Wii. I wish it got more recognization. (Also, the newer team is remaking it. Excited for that.)

I just got this mod on dolphin and it was really hard to put down the controller. Excellently done

3:42 Wow, that is one handsome Yoshi!

I'm very excited since Newer Super Mario Wii holds so much Nostalgia for me

I'm really glad you made this video.😁 I love this game to bits, and it's so worth the hassle to go through to play it! I love everything about it. I've completed this game twice, and sometimes I would just spend time doing the levels which act as borders between two different areas, because I've always loved that stuff. Also, I adore the music. It feels like it constantly varies from level to level. I'm also glad you didn't spoil every locale this game has to offer.

The NewerTeam is actually working on a "Deluxe"-Version which will improve this gem of a game more graphically.

I got the pleasure of playing this game when I was about 7 yo. I didn't knew it was a fan made and never even thought about that, but it was that great that I remember at least the hammer bro power up until today and you just helped me remember the good days playing with my family this awesome game, thanks man.

Newer SMBW is much better than New SMBW and U. The level design, the names, the worlds & side worlds and the items (including the Hammer). I played in 2014 and wish to play it again

Man every time someone says there 2D Mario people always say "its bland" I am honestly kind of sick and tired of these because I feel like on YT we get far to many negative views on 2D Mario and not enough positive. I feel if people who like 2D Mario and there's a huge positivity than certainly it would outweigh the negative and the people being negative could stop.

Yooo more people need to play this i was blown away when i played it in like 2013 with my brother! He was much younger and thought it was an official release haha

The way their voice goes back and forth between high and low when emphasizing words is so consistent I couldn't pay attention to the video at all

Damn, you sold me on this game haha. Definitely going to try it after I run out of new Mario games to play. It looks amazing for a mod. Gotta appreciate all that work!

I remember seeing this mod, and my dad and I homebrewing our Wii to play this mod co-op. We never finished it (we only got to World 4 or 5, I believe) but it's a pleasant memory none the less.

Correction on the music: There's a lot of original compositions, including the boss music you mentioned. Otherwise, it's great to see a review of one of the best Mario mods and I'd love to see the same for other classic mods like Star Road or CTGP.

I can confirm. This game is pretty cool, and fun to play. I love the small worlds with 4 or so levels, it makes the game a whole lot more fun.

honestly this game is my favorite game of all time and it's nice to see that others share some appreciation or show how good it is

Im 15 and I remember watching videos about this mod when i was like 8-9 years old, im finally gonna try this out

personally i don't mind the 3 hit system for bosses it makes sure that bosses aren't too long but not too short either and it allows for clear fasing

It’s a great experience, but better than NSMB and NSMBW? I just don’t get it. I’m glad you’re showing appreciation for a great fan game though.

Yesssir! This is my favorite fan game period. Everything about it is almost perfect. So good to see it get a video.

Has been a while since I played this, I should replay it some time soon. I dont remember why, cause it was a long time ago, but I remember I liked Newer SMB DS more than the Wii version, the map world and some of the enemies and graphics in the Wii version simply felt odd and out of place IMO.

I wonder how that one Super Mario Bros Super Show cartoon style Mario fan game is going. Probably taken down by now but I would have loved to play that over another New Super Mario Bros style 2D Mario.

I don't think the music is Ba-Ba Bad, it's Ba-Ba-Bamazing

Dude! I love your retrospectives on Mario games! They're so much fun. You should check on Super Mario 64 DS someday and compare it to its original N64 counterpart, I've been playing the DS version a lot recently and it's not as good as I remember.

I wouldn't say the level design is excellent but it is good/great. Newer team r improving it with newer wii dx Also, the world map is flat cos its literally 2d

I've recently been playing Newer Wii after it came up in a casual conversation, and I'm even more excited to finish it after this video. P.S. The way to pick stuff up with the Classic controller is actually pressing X instead of the shoulder buttons, as it also functions as a spin jump button (like Super Mario World did. Nice attention to detail in my opinion)

Note: Newer also works with USB Loaders (ex: USBLoaderGX, WiiFlow, etc). Now, you will need a rom of the game, and it is on the internet, but I won’t tell you where to find it. Remember: it’s your choice on how you get your roms (I modified my nsmbwii rom myself).

+1 like +1 subscriber that's the first video i see from you and it's awesome as well. i also loved how newer smb wii had alot of the ds version.

Pretty odd saying the minimushroom is bad when it actually is really good for newbies, since it makes platforming easier, and makes it easier to avoid stuff. You have much better control than with the propeller hat even.

One thing you forgor (💀) to mention about Newer Wii's ost Every music has a fast remix if you have less than 100 seconds on the timer. Those are actual remixes, not just sped up versions of the originals, tho they are almost impossible to hear for the most part since almost every level gives you 700 seconds to beat them.

It saddens me that we will probably never get a 2-D Mario game like this

In NSMB Wii, none of the toad item houses uses luck. Every house has a specific set of possible item/bowser panels, and all have safe spots that can flipped every time. All you have to do is look for where certain items appear and you can flip the rest accordingly.

That florida joke got me so good

The Toad houses are not technically random though, they have patterns you can recreate in order to always get all bonuses

I remember playing this and 100% this years ago! Should be the First download for any homebrew Wii. Lol

This just makes me want official NSMBW DLC/expansions now... Well, at least we have this amazing hack

I just found out that this video was released one year before the Mario Movie. What a funny coincidence.

would've been cool to see the fluud pack as a power-up for certain water levels

Great review! Heard good things about this romhack throughout the years, might try this out when I dig up my old Wii someday

Never played the Wii version of this game. Is the single player good, or do you need multiple players to make the best out of it?

I LOVE this hack so much, I downloaded it as soon as it came out back in 2013, still my favorite Mario plat-former ever, I love the original music, levels, and entire world map. It’s so fun and well done, and i can’t wait for the DX version of the hack, gonna get it the second it comes out

Another upcoming Mario hack you definitely should check out is Super Mario Gravity. Its the Mario Galaxy 3 we need lol.

3:45 NOOO- **hears PAC-MAN theme** Dammit now my earworm is Back!

Hey Demeech since you like newer super mario bros wii then you should play mario bro 3 mix. It's a rom hack of mario 3 with new worlds, enemies, bosses and power ups from future and past mario games, plus it has rideable yoshi's. You should definitely give it a try.

10:35 fun fact: the Maple Treeway soundtrack is a remix of the MK Wii Bowser’s Castle. (Or vice versa)

If this game was made by Nintendo I guarantee you would be tearing it apart. It’s not the best mario game at all. Really good game though.

Thank you for making this video I likely wouldn't have known that this game existed without watching this, and will start playing it soon 👍

Newer is quite a fun game, but one criticism that wasn't mentioned in the video is how the Star Coins were handled. The shop is quite cool conceptually, but keep in mind that Star Coins aren't replenishable. Once you collect them all, there's no more you can get unlike regular coins. So the shop is basically unusable for those who want to keep their Star Coin tallies. The gates in New Super Mario Bros DS handled the concept much better as there's only a set amount of them, making it feel like unlocking them is part of the completion process. Otherwise my thoughts are with Demeech here. Great hack overall!

Can’t wait for the Newer DS review

Since I was a kid I wanted to play this fan game so bad because I loved new super Mario brothers Wii because it was the first game I ever played so eventually I’m gonna try and download it on my Wii

I didn't know thus wasn't official... it was my childhood

Wait, 10 YEARS since this channel was created?! Wow... My first video I saw from you was a YT short one month ago 😅

I hope someone eventually makes ambitious mods, to the scale of the Newer games, but for any of the 3D Mario games. Sure, we have custom levels in all of them, and (as far as I know) the only ones to have more than individual custom levels, are 3D World, 64 and Galaxy (3D World and Galaxy only having one or two, maybe three worlds tops), but definitely are not complete games like Newer Wii. Hopefully we get one like that but for Odyssey! 🤞

Debeach Finding a pattern of beach levels with you

Ah, Mushroom Peaks. Where have I heard that before.

Are you able to install Newer on Homebrew so that you don't need it on the SD card everytime you want to play? I'm not sure if mine has enough storage to contain both CTGP and Newer, as well as my 2ds stuff.

Nintendo probably really inspired Ninja hideaway a little bit from Newer Wii... When you compare the shy guys on the Hideaway track with the Ninja shy guy from Newer... It becomes pretty obvious

12:15 What’s the name of the music used here! I recognize it but want to listen to it more

Great video. I liked and suscribed

Pretty good review on this great fan project!

All I needed to hear from this game was that a world had space physics

I think what worked about Donkey Kong Country Returns is that the worlds felt ALIVE. The levels felt like they were part of the environment although I can't help but love NSMBW and NSMBU

Honestly for someone who wants to play the game and I have the Wii version I'm happy with the Wii version except for the fact that it does not have any real controller support. As someone who Love's older style games and retro games but hates the d-pad on most controllers, the Super Mario Brothers Wii U Deluxe on switch might just be the best way to play this. But adding controller support with all that I think this game really needed

in the new 2d Mario games all the rom hacks are based on NEWER and in the old 2d Mario games all the rom hacks are based on FOREVER like that

Finally it’s been so long!

Yeah I really liked that game... Back in 2014/2015 I watched a LP and I still sometimes return to that LP

fun fact: this game contains unused text that mocks you for trying to use unsupported controllers

‘Woah it’s barney’ okay that was a good one

I just download this game in 2023 and I managed to clear the whole game 100% finding all secret exits and levels, this game requires me to buy a Wii U to play it but not much people sell Wii’s in my city and the one I bought was a second handed Wii. Since it was played before some buttons don’t reacts when I press them making the control much harder, I have to tell you that my favourite game is this one because it contains much more than the original one and the musics in the game sounds so good, the worlds like Freeze flame glacier is my favourite world and the reason is already explained in the video. Plus the developers really put their heart in it I’m surprised to see an amazing Mario game because I tried to make one myself and it looked nothing like this😅 Some levels are crashed in my game like the one levels in 3-6 (BUBBLE BASIN) is unplayable and the levels is now doubled in 3-7 (SLANTY SHROOM ROAD ) but I really enjoyed playing thisbgame

The Mario DLC That we have always wanted

I dunno if 3 hits is based on numerology, but they would never do 4 hits since ya know, 4 is the forbidden number in Japan 'n 5 might be too much hits

I just started playing Newer DS and it’s a great time, I’m hoping they make one for NSMB2 so I can play it on my modded 2DS.

holy shit this looks insane reminds me of New Super Mario Bros Wii in some ways, which is good because that one's very near to my heart and my favorite of the 2d platformers even though it's rather short

Although I’ve never played it, I’ve seen a full walkthrough. It’s looks like a lot of fun and I really love the creativity in the game. Even the basic desert, beach, and forest themes were more interesting than the originals.

This game is one of my favorites to watch as well as New Super Mario Bros 2 for the 3DS. The reason why is because both Newer Super Mario Bros Wii & New Super Mario Bros 2 both have 2 very strong power ups (the Hammer Suit from Super Mario Bros 3 & the Golden Flower from New Super Mario Bros 2), which can take out a vast majority of enemies, even those immune to fireballs! Even though Amperes (electrical amp) are immune to hammers, they can still be defeated with the fireballs from Silver Luigi/Golden Mario.

I love the cadence in his voice -----^------^--^

Can’t wait for a newest super Mario bros wii

Ah the nostalgia! The Ninja Shy Guy, World 8 (Koopa Core)’s soundtrack, me literally going apeshit over Ninja Shy Guy literally One-shotting Kamek, and feeling bad for Ninja Shy Guy when he gets beaten down, and the Hammer Suit being in there. (And what if Wario was a boss, or additional playable character?)

And that’s why Nintendo hates fan games, because we do it *BETTER* than *THEM*

Okay but ratio'd by Fungi Pit (Great video!)

I didn't really enjoy the level design that much but I did enjoy the rest of the aspects. Not the "best" Mario game but definitely up there. Hopefully the Plus release will fix the design a bit :D

I have been itching for a new 2D Mario since Super Mario Maker 2 (Story Mode is fine, but I don't think it makes up for not having a game with original mechanics). I'll have to give this a shot.

My guy be dropping bars in the first bit of the video

They’re making a new version of this game (not sure if u said it in the video)

What song plays at 1:15? It’s so familiar but I can’t place a finger on where it’s from
