Customer Ratings:

I don't understand why some people think this is a bad game because to me this game is very fun! This game is a blast if you have people to play with, and even if you don't Wi-Fi is great. Wi-Fi has a points system something like what Wii Sports has and if you get to 1000 you get a medal for that sport. There is alos little to no lag during online play. The game also has a lot to do for just 1 player. It will take you a while to unlock everything this game has to offer. Anyone who puts Dodgeball down has not played this game because it might be the best game on the disc! All 4 sports are well done and easy to play. I think this is an excellent title that any Wii owner and Mario fan should at least try out. The only thing this game lacks in for me is music. I thing they could have had much better music in this game, but this game to me is excellent.

We have a 5-year-old daughter and twin 6-year-old boys they all LOVE this game. It's fun for Dad as well. There are four sports Basketball, Hockey, Dodgeball and Volleyball. I personally think that's more than enough because each sport is very well done.

I like that the kids have to learn cooperation in order to be successful (ie pass to the other player in basketball to do an alley-oop, etc). The Mario characters are great as always all of the favorites are included and they each have special "power moves" for each sport that are really cool.

You can pick from many different "playfields" for each sport each of which adds some special twist to the game (for example, the Waluigi Pinball stadium has a giant pinball that rolls around and must be avoided while playing).

As is typical with a Nintendo Mario game the more you play the more special playfields and characters you unlock, which keeps the kids really entertained.

The sound effects, music, and graphics are all top notch. You can play with just the Wii controller turned sideways (which is what we do, much easier for the kids) or with a Wii controller and nunchuck. The controls themselves are not too complicated again perfect for a kid's game.

I have not bothered to try out the Wi-Fi online capabilities because we have been blessed with a large family and have plenty of competition around the house. However the capability is there and from what I have read elsewhere the online play is great too. But if you have four Wii controllers and enough people, you can play 2 on 2 which is the most fun.

This is the kids' favorite game right now great replay value. It's pricey right now because it's a new game, but I still highly recommend it. If you or your kids enjoy Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart Wii, etc. then this is a great choice to add to your collection.

Just understand that these are not designed to be "realistic" sports simulations the NBA doesn't allow goaltending every shot or throwing turtle shells at your opponent (at least I don't think they do I haven't watched a game in awhile). But it's really great fun once you learn the Mario way to play!

I have played this game with my kids (6 and 11). It is an excellent cooperative play game for a family or group. The controls are not too complex, good music & graphics and simple enough for younger kids to play successfully. My only complaint is that there are only 4 sports. I expected more for the price. We were hoping to unlock additional sports as we progressed, but have only unlocked additional locations. Still, it's good fun.

Perfect for my 6 year old. He is not able to play other Mario games, but the "easy" setting is indeed quite easy and he doesn't get frustrated with complicated controls. The husband plays along on the harder setting and he doesn't get too bored with it. The visuals are nice and colorful, and my son loves picking his characters, too.

I bought it on consignment for $10, and I think it's a steal... but if I had to pay full price for it, I would maybe be peeved that there are only 4 games to pick from. I could see how many would give this a 4 star for the hefty price tag, but my purchase was a 5 star.
