So then who here is aware of it? If so then have one of my special Kokiri Kookies *lays a tray of kookies out* and if not allow me to educate you.
New Super Mario Bros Wii is a new Mario game scheduled to hit North America on November 15 (however most stores won't have it until the 16 or 17) and it is the first 2-D Mario platformer to hit a main Nintendo console in 18 years. Here are some clips of the game.

The E3 2009 trailer (sorry for the ad). At first when I saw this I wasn't very excited (mostly because of the info dump of new game info like about Galaxy 2 and M&L:BIS) but after hearing more about it I slowly got more excited until it was at the same level as Spirit Tracks is now.

The 'Super Skillz' trailer.
So basically there are several new elements in New Super Mario Bros Wii such as a Penguin Suit which allows you to belly slide like one (hence the name) and also throw iceballs.
The Starman still gives you invincibility to enemies but also now makes Mario/Luigi/Toad shine remeniscent of what it was with the Rainbow Star in Galaxy (and also allows you to jump Super Samus Aran style).
The Ice Flower which has the same effects as the Penguin Suit hold the belly sliding and much much more.
There are several modes which Nintendo currently is keeping secret but it features multiplayer story mode. Basically this means that if you have some friends and some Wii motes you get to play all at once (no more crappy controller sharing my fellow chubby Mario impersonators) and either create a helping element to increase your chances or a competitive element to try to diminish your friend's chances.
You can pick up and throw your fellow players in multiplayer story mode (somewhat reminiscent of Four Swords Adventures) to either help them (like for instance I suck at platformers while my mom rocks and she could carry me away from an intimidating enemy) or hurt them (like my sister would probably throw me at a goomba to try to hurt me) or carry them over a chasm of lava.
It seems to propose a gigantic challenge to even seasoned mushroom munchers and I read in Nintendo Power that if you fail at a stage enough times then a green ! block appears and if hit Luigi will appear and show you through the stage and from that point you can stop him at any time or just let him clear the course for you and claim his victory as your own (Mario: Hey Luigi do you mind if I take credit for this stage? Luigi: What?! NO!! Mario: Well too bad cuz I'm going to anyway).
That's just a tiny taste of how great New Super Mario Bros Wii is looking. In fact it might even prove better than Mario 2 (yes go ahead and toss your Kokiri Kookies at me).
Also I made a new thread for this because nobody responded to it in the general Mario thread so I figured it would get more attention with it's own thread.
