This page contains notes for the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

1-Coin leftover early 7-Tower file differences

  • The zone height was originally 1568 blocks, the final one is 1648.
  • Multiplayer scroll player tracking setting is "1" in the early file (track bottom player), and "6" in the final (track highest player).
  • Zone lighting was changed to a more lit version in the final level.
  • Bounds for the final level were changed; the early file puts "64" in the upper bounds and "16" as lower bounds, while the final level only uses "80" as upper bounds.
  • Sound modulation was changed to "Underwater Echo" from "None".
  • The final level uses background IDs 5102, instead of IDs 0202. All three background slots are used in the final, while the original only uses one. Usage of three slots fixed the disappearing background.
  • Multiplayer Coin Battle Coins were added.
  • A Super Guide block was added.
  • The tilt controlled girder sprite was repositioned; it's a bit lower than in the early file.
  • A set of platforms was added above the midway point.
  • A lot of the brown moving platforms was increased in size.
  • The secret exit fake wall is now three tiles high instead of early 2.
  • The secret exit controller's settings were changed. What's strange is that not only was the height value increased by 1, but also the width value. In addition, the "type" setting was changed.
  • A new platform and a few more cannons were added above the secret exit.
  • The star coin was blocked by a coin brick wall, and its platform was redesigned.
  • An invisible fire flower and coin block were added at the top.
  • The final boss door platform's layer was fixed.

Yoshi Behaviours

Much to the disappointment of Super Mario World fans, New Super Mario Bros. Wii only had Yoshis appear in a few levels and you could not take them out into the world map.

The only levels Yoshis appear in are: 1-3, 2-5, 3-2, 4-5, 6-4 and 7-6.

  • Water - Mario unmounts from Yoshi automatically without an animation when he gets in contact with water.
  • Poison Water and Lava- Yoshi runs away like he was hit by an enemy rather than Mario dying instantly, Yoshi never does die he just runs away, and may fall off the level.
  • Platforms - Most do not start moving when Yoshi stands on them, if a platform is not in this list this is the case. In some cases this means objects do not react at all and Yoshi just stands on them like solid terrain or completely ignore them.
  • Bramballs - todo
  • W6 mountain "sidestep" edges - Glitchy behaviour
  • If events - Doesn't activate "IF" Events if set to Mario standing on ground
  • Muncher - Yoshi runs away if in contact with the top of them.
  • Castle Bosses - Yoshi can kill them with a ground pound but it does not trigger a cutscene and the game freezes when the battle is won while riding Yoshi because he does not have animations for the cutscene.
  • Tower Bosses - Same as Castle Bosses but has unused(?) animations for cutscenes.
  • Horizontal Pipe Entrances - Can see Mario's head out of the top of the pipe, although this basically occur on the secret exit in World 1-3, but the pipe is hidden over the zone.
  • Ice Flows - Doesn't move along with them.
  • Mecha-Koopas - Yoshi gets hurt when he jumps on them but he can eat them.
  • Bob-ombs - Can eat them but not spit them out.
  • Buzzy Beetles - He can lick them up and spit them out like Koopas.
  • Spiny Tops - Edible, bounces on them
  • Pipe Cannons - Mario automatically dismounts from Yoshi without an animation when entering.
  • Doors - They cannot be entered while riding Yoshi.
  •  ? Switches - Can be pressed by Yoshi even without being ridden on. Same with ! switches and P switches.
  • Sprite Pipe/Rolling Hill Pipe - Yoshi can't enter them; it's just Mario that goes through and leaves Yoshi behind.
  • Hammer, Boomerang, Fire, Ice and Sledge Bros. - As well as being able to spit out hammers in 1-3 yoshi can spit out boomerangs, ice balls, fire balls and sledges.
  • Giant Dry Bones - todo
  • Chestnut Goombas - Not edible.
  • Fuzzies - Edible, even the big ones.
  • Cheep Cheeps - Edible.
  • Bloopers - Edible.
  • Jellybeams and Bulbers - Edible as well.
  • Toad Balloons - Yoshi can eat them but they won't count towards getting the chest to appear.
  • Treasure Chest - Can be opened by Yoshi even without being ridden on and they can eat them but the level will never end.
  • Porcupuffer - Yoshi can bounce them like spike tops but not eat them.
  • Ghost Question Blocks and Pillars - Yoshi can eat then while attacking.
  • Thwomps - Yoshi cannot bounce on top of them like some stronger enemies.
  • Podoboos - Yoshi can eat them and spit out as fireballs.
  • Fire Chomps - Same as Podoboos
  • Chain Chomps - Can bounce on them, not edible
  • Cooligans - Yoshi gets hurt if jumping on them, but can eat them.
  • Wigglers - Yoshi cannot eat them, but can defeat them using a ground pound.
  • Giant Wigglers - Edible, had an unused animation when they are defeated with Yoshi projectiles (fireballs, hammers, etc; except iceballs).
  • Icicle and Giant Icicle - edible, but the Giant one pushes Yoshi way high in the air...
