New Super Mario Bros. Wii (2024)

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.

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

There are no reported problems with this title.

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.

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

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

The graph below charts the compatibility with New Super Mario Bros. Wii since Dolphin's 2.0 release, listing revisions only where a compatibility change occurred.

(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.)3.5Windows VistaIntel Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHzIntel GMA 82945G Express ChipsetOnly 17~25FPS due to graphics chipset, but surprisingly quite playable.

3.5-514Windows 7Intel Core i7-2670QM @ 2.9 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 560MFull 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.
