Having released the first review of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and a glowing one at that, the Official Nintendo Magazine was privy to some top secret information about the upcoming title. But having that knowledge all to themselves proved to be quite burdensome. The mag decided to answer some reader questions, submitted via GoNintendo. Here are some of the most notable Q&A’s (they are semi-spoilerific):
Does riding on Yoshi add the cool drums in the background like in Super Mario World?
Yes!
Is there any playable characters other than Mario, Luigi and the two Toads? I was kind of hoping for a wide variety.
No.
If playing with only two players, can you play as Toad?
Player two can play as Toad but Player one will always be Mario. Any other players who join can choose from Luigi or one of the two Toads.
Will multiplayer feature computer-controller characters?
Nope. Humans only I’m afraid.
Do any of the first items like the Mega Mushroom and stuff return? I hope so!
The Mega Mushroom isn’t in it, but the Mini Mushroom’s back. It only gets used in one or two stages though.
