New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a side-scrolling platform video game published and developed by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the first game in the Mario main series since the Mario Bros. arcade game to feature simultaneous multiplayer gameplay, and the first title to include Nintendo's new 'Super Guide' feature. The game’s plot is similar to those of other side-scrolling Mario games. New Super Mario Bros. Wii follows Mario as he fights his way through Bowser’s henchmen to rescue Princess Peach. Mario has access to several power-ups that help him complete his quest, including the Ice Flower, the Fire Flower, and the Starman, each giving him unique abilities. While traveling through up to nine worlds with a total of 88 levels, Mario must defeat Bowser's children, the Koopalings and Bowser Jr., and Bowser himself before finally saving Princess Peach.

Emulation Information

Shaking Vertices

Models will shake and distort if the Vertex Rounding Hack is enabled. It is highly recommended to keep it disabled for this title.

Problems

There are no reported problems with this title.

Enhancements

IR > 1x Banding/Pixelated Shading

At higher internal resolutions, shading will look weird by default, almost as if it's pixelated. Set "Texture Filtering" to "Force Linear" to resolve this.

Anti-Aliasing Visual Defects

Using Anti-Aliasing can cause visual defects. This only happens with MSAA on D3D12. Refer issue 11698.

(+60VPS). Una cosa más ES PELIGROSO, la temperatura de la CPU es más de 60ºC. (Is playable (50FPS) without RAM, but enabling JITIL64, 640x480 resolution and selecting 2 frame skipping the game will be VERY FASTER!! (+60VPS). One thing more: IS DANGEROUS, the CPU temp is more than 140ºF.)
3.5 Windows Vista Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz Intel GMA 82945G Express Chipset Only 17~25FPS due to graphics chipset, but surprisingly quite playable. All/most problems are still present in the new Dolphin 3.5, but nothing unbearable. Performance guide settings. Wiigeek336
3.5 Windows XP Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 @ 2 GHz ATI Radeon HD 4650 Very playable! Normally, I get 40 - 60FPS (50 almost all time). In the map, the speed drops to 45FPS, and the speed goes to 73%. DmitryN

3.5-367 Windows 7 Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Dolphin Configuration: Fremelimit: Auto, Limit by FPS [ON]; JITIL experimental recompiler

General: Direct3D9; V-Sync [ON]; Aspect Ratio: Force 16:9

Enhacements: Auto (Multiply ...) (but even with 4xNative works 60+ FPS !!!); AA:None; Anistropic 16x; Scales EFB Copy [ON]; Force Texture Filtering [ON]

Hacks: Ignore Format Changes [ON]; EFB Copies → RAM (Enable Cache [OFF]); External Frame Fuffer: Disable [ON]; Other: Cache Display Lists [ON], OpenMP Texture Decoder [ON]

Result: almost everywhere 70+ FPS and looks like on my Wii but it's in HD :)

3.5-514 Windows 7 Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.9 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M Full speed with animated textures at certain settings.
  • Use Direct3D11 Backend and JITL recompiler for highest possible performance.
  • To get animated coins, enable "EFB Copies" to "RAM", set "Texture Cache" to the middle, and turn on "Cache Display Lists". Make sure that "OpenMP Texture Decoder" is disabled (it oddly halfs performance with this game in DX11). You will likely have to turn your internal resolution down to 1x or 1.5x for full speed.
  • To increase the resolution without decreasing performance, disable EFB Copies or set them to Texture. Rotating coins and animated textures will no longer be animated.

3.5-1371 Debian 7 AMD Phenom II X3 720 @ 2.8 GHz NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 EFB copies to texture, blue coins not visible, coins not animated.

The last section, with King Koopa, is barely playable.
