Kotaku received an early version of an October Walmart advertisement that announces a Wii price drop. The advertisement specifies that it isn't a temporary "price rollback" which are often advertised. Unfortunately, the early version of the advertisement doesn't specify the new price point or if anything will be omitted, such as the Wii Sports pack-in game.

here P is for Proppeller - In nsmbwii there are propeller suits like mentioned earlier. The icon for getting a propeller suit is a P. The P has been seen before in super mario bros. 3 that is seen on an advanced tanooki suit that lets you fly as much as you want unless you are hit by an enemy. The P for propeller is resembled by that except you slowly drift down after propelling instead of going as much as you want. Watch out Below!! -Obviously castle levels will have thwomps but something is different about them. Thwomps have a new design to them! The design seems to be an updated version of he Super Mario Bros. 3 design. Most of the time these things are just trials for characters/enemies and they are replaced by a more better looking character/enemy so this is NOT official.

Super Mario World -Yoshi is back! Yoshi is rideable in NSMBWii and he comes out of eggs hidden in blocks. Yoshi is rideable and he can eat almost anything! -Fireballs Yum! In Super Mario World, if yoshi at a red koopa or red koopa shell he could spit fire balls. He would spit 3 fire balls that could go a very far distance. In NSMBWii he could get his fire ability by eating fire enemies (Including Venus Fire Traps!) Yoshi will only spit one fire ball though. -Bubbles!! Like in a certain forest level in Super Mario World, mushrooms can be found floating in bubbles. You have to pop the bubble in order for the mushroom to come out. Bubbles are also used to save other players in multiplayer mode. In super mario world, bubbles could also carry Bob-Ombs and round goombas. -Fruity Tooty In Super Mario World yoshi could eat fruit to eventually lay an egg. Since Yoshi is rideable, there are many fruit plants scattered around everywhere for yoshi to eat. When eating a fruit you score 1 point. How Swell... -Caramel Candy (Semi Credit to SuperSonic) Thanks for the thread picture with the sexy raspberry flavored yoshi i've noticed two new features. The first one is Caramel Candy. Apparantly yoshi's can eat coins like in super mario world. This can be helpfull in multiplayer when your on a yoshi and another player is running for your coin. Stupid yoshi thats not candy!

Super Mario World 2 Secret Lair -Hidden tunnels were found scattered all around Super Mario World 2. Sometimes you would see a giant solid rock. It looks like you couldn't go any further but if you walk close to the rock then a hidden tunnel would be revealed. You can go inside of it to find items, coins and eggs. In NSMBWii there are also secret tunnels to be found. These are helpful since some contain fruit, coins, pipes and star coins. Also like in Super Mario World 2, once out of a tunnel you will not see the tunnel again but you can go back inside it any time you want Pop goes the troopa (Semi Credit to Super Sonic) -Thanks to super sonic I got to post a game cover of NSMBWII with a sexy raspberry flavored yoshi.... ANYWAYS if you look closely at the goomba, it's coming out of the pipe. This was first introduced in Super Mario World 2 where shy guys and Shy ghosts would pop out of pipes for yoshi to eat as eggs. Also used in the previous NSMB goombas will be coming out of pipes, but sadly not for eggs.

Mario&Luigi Partners in time Carry Me - In nsmbwii you can pick up another player in multiplayer mode. You can also do the same thing in Mario and Luigi partners in time. Sadly you cant do anything like fly around when carrying each other or roll up into a ball to get through small tunnels like in Mario&Luigi Partners in time. Double Shrooms -In Mario&Luigi partners in time there were items called mushroom drops. Mushroom drops would heal every party member by a certain amount depending on the mushroom. In nsmbwii when carrying another player if one person gets a mushroom while being small then both players will grow bigger instead of just one. NOTICE: I put Double Shrooms in the Mario&Luigi partners in time section because the mushroom effect only effects players when carrying eachother. I know that mushroom drops have been in other games. You spin my head right round - In mario&luigi partners in time there were moves used out of battle that required spinning. You could use it to fly or to go underground. In nsmbwii you could use this attack to attack other enemies or evaporate cold air. This move is also found in Super Smash Bros. games but spinning is more important in Mario&Luigi partners in time.

Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl Brain Surgery - In Super Smash Bros. Brawl a small feature was added where you could jump off of other people's heads to rech higher locations or to mess them up. Although this was first introuduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee during the luigi event in adventure mode where lugi bounces of mario's head to fight with the princess. In nsmbwii you can do the samething to make another player land inside a never ending hole or just to mess them up.

Super Mario 64 -Disintegrating Plants In Super Mario 64 when you defeat a pihranna plant it slowly disintegrates away. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii it is confirmed that Pihranna Plants will also Disintegrate but with two leaves coming off of it like its wilting at the same time.
