...place. mario also has more moves at his disposal. He can now swing on ropes, climb ladders, balance on tight ropes, jump up walls, do back flips and triple jump.

The main part of the game is split into 80 stages over eight worlds ranging from dry arid dessert sands land to the crazy mushroom world. Each world has its own unique elements to such as quick sand, swimming water sections, ice blizzards, fire, you get the idea. The game also has a lot of replay value in the main quest because you can go through the game different ways using warp portals. So you can skip certain worlds and go strait to a new one.

The Wii can play all of the Gamecube games, work with the Gamecube memory cards, and also allow you to use Gamecube controllers. For affordability, this means people who have spent a bunch on their GC hardware can use some of it with the wii - and not have to go out and buy the new console, plus controllers, plus memory, etc. For the family group the Wii is targeting, this is a smart move.
