The Bottom Line:

"Instant classic"

Last night my husband and I purchased this game and so far it is amazing. Right from the opening screen you feel like your playing the old original 2D games. My husband and I jumped right into the 2 player co-op and started to battle each other right from the first level. After throwing each other into a pit a few times and realizing that it was so much fun to work together we started rocking through the level. Nintendo really did a lot of thinking to give us as many feature as possible into the simplest controls. If you feel like your going to be in danger, just push the 'A' button and bubble yourself so that your teammate can 'pop' you at a safe location. The graphics are nice and clean without ruining the classic feel. The controls feel amazing and you don't mind 'shaking' the controller to grab your buddy, or let you fly into the air with your propeller head. Best part of the game has to be the audio. Amazing music and sound effects which even involve the Wii-mote speaker giving your little cry's for help when your bubbled. I know that this game will be another one to remember and will last the test of time just like Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World.
