Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



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.

Just... wow.

Yea, the Super Skills videos are pretty fucking crazy. This is easily the best, though.

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

That's terrific! When Luigi hits the line up of goombas it's such a terrific setup to what happens next!

That was amazing. I doubt I'll ever be able to pull something like that off, but it's damn fun to watch.

Impressive team work.


I'm loving Yoshi's sound effects like his tongue link and the voices of the Toads are pretty amusing.

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.

I bet this was partially inspired by those SMW ROM hacks that shuffle the player through a level automatically. Awesomesauce.

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!

That isn't that impressive. I could do that if I was playing as Luigi.

Well that is absolutely insane. I've been trying to peak my interest for this game, and that just may have done it.

You'd be "lazy" too if you were told to shove off for years without being in a good game, let alone one you star in..

I like how even if Luigi wanted to play, he couldn't. Constantly spit and eaten with no chance to act for himself.

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.
