For completionists, collecting all of the Gold Coins in New Super Mario Bros. Wii (there are three in each world) won't simply be a matter of saying "I did it."
The coins act as currency, which players can spend on unlocking "Hint Movies" in Princess Peach's castle in World 1. These "Hint Movies" are playthrough videos of Nintendo's top testers showing off in-game secrets (like "Infinite 1UPS") or some sick, nearly inhuman playing.
Above is one example, the same one shown to us by Shigeru Miyamoto when he visited New York City a few weeks back. It features three players supporting a lazy Luigi through World 1-3. Watch as Luigi himself does nothing, and the players bounce him off enemies and spit him back and forth from beginning to end. Luigi ends up with four additional extra lives by the levels end, as well as picking up most (if not all) of the game's power-ups and secret coins.
I'm definitely interested in it but I don't know if I can pull myself away from other games at the moment. So I'll probably just put this on my xmas wishlist
Yeah, I watched this vid last night during my stream and shit my pants. This game is LITERALLY Super Mario World 3 and is freaking fantastic. MUCH better than the DS game in difficulty, level design, power-ups, boss battles (ESPECIALLY the final battle). Everybody needs to get this game. The only think that might have made this game greater would have been ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, freaking Nintendo. It baffles me how they can do something so creative and fun, but also be lazy at the same time with excluding online gameplay.
if you can't tell from that footage that this is going to be an awesome game, you should give up videogames. now i know that all the early cries of the game being too easy are from retards. this may not be just the game of the year, but game of this gen. fuck yes!
Holy shit! Wow, gotta love how Mario games can either be the simplet of all platformers, or the pinnacle of platforming skill and ingenuity if you choose it to be.

Uh. Wow.
Like some sort of dance!
I'm loving Yoshi's sound effects like his tongue link and the voices of the Toads are pretty amusing.
Awesome video.
This is beyond amazing. Come on, Sunday! Hurry. Please.
Too bad me and my friends are too much of a dick to pull this off...
