It’s been quite some time since we last saw our favorite plumber and his bros. take center stage in an all-new Mario adventure. But fear not, Nintendo fans! The wait is finally over as New Super Mario Bros. Wii: All-Star Quest drops onto store shelves across North America and Japan today.

Developed by the same team behind 2006’s critically-acclaimed hit New Super Mario Bros., this latest installment promises to deliver everything that made its predecessor so successful – plus a healthy dose of fresh, new gameplay mechanics thrown into the mix for good measure.

From the moment you pick up your Wii controller and step back into Bowser's world once again, it becomes clear that very little has changed since our last Mario adventure. The familiar Mushroom Kingdom landscape stretches out before us as we guide both Mario and Luigi through lush green grasslands, treacherous underground caverns, and even crumbling castles teeming with Goombas galore.

However, don't let the nostalgic feel fool you – this isn’t just a rehashing of old school Nintendo magic. Oh no! The developers at Nintendo have been hard at work ensuring that New Super Mario Bros. Wii: All-Star Quest offers something truly special for both veterans and newcomers alike.

New power-ups are scattered throughout each level, waiting to be collected by those quick enough (or lucky) to find them first. From the classic fireballs of yesteryear to brand new items like the all-powerful Super Mushroom 2.0 – there’s never been a better time than now to experience Mario gaming as it was meant to be.

But what really sets New Super Mario Bros. Wii: All-Star Quest apart from its predecessors is undoubtedly its expanded cast list. Not content with just Mario and Luigi this time around, the game also features guest appearances by some of Nintendo’s most beloved characters – including none other than Peach herself! That's right folks; you read that correctly - Princess Peach makes her long-awaited return to the Mushroom Kingdom in style.

And speaking of styles... let us not forget about the graphics. Gone are the chunky, pixelated visuals of old replaced instead by vibrant HD graphics that really bring Mario’s world alive like never before.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your Wii remote and get ready to experience one heck of a Mario adventure unlike any other! New Super Mario Bros. Wii: All-Star Quest is out now exclusively on Nintendo Wii – so why wait?
