Throughout the chase, Mario and co. battle the Koopalings in their fortresses, followed by in their castles. Afterward, Bowser Jr. flies in the airship with Peach stuck in it, though during two occasions, the airship leaves without Bowser Jr., allowing the Mario Bros. and Toads to chase after him. When the gang defeats Bowser Jr. for the final time, [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] appears and takes Peach away, taking her to [[Bowser's Castle]]. | Throughout the chase, Mario and co. battle the Koopalings in their fortresses, followed by in their castles.

When Mario and the gang finally get to the final castle, they find [[Bowser]]. One of them has to [[jump]] on a [[! Switch]] behind Bowser to defeat him, sending him falling into the [[lava]] below. After Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and Blue Toad celebrate their victory, they see the fake Princess Peach crying in a cage. However, she turns out to be Magikoopa in a pink version of his robe.

'''Free-for-all''' is a multiplayer-only mode that is selectable from the game's main menu. Every course from the main game is selectable in this mode, although the worlds have to be beaten once in the main game in order to play them in Free-for-all. This mode is very similar to the main game, but there are no [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]]s, and on the end of a level, the number of points each character got is seen. However, unlike in [[Coin Battle]], the character does not say a "happy" phrase after winning, and the number of times each player won is also not seen. Additionally, if all of the players manage to get to the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], the level is marked on the level-selection menu with a gold frame, and the words "TEAM FINISH!" | '''Free-for-all''' is a multiplayer-only mode that is selectable from the game's main menu.

As demonstrated by development information for various games, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] had been struggling to add multiplayer to ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games for a long time. He tried to experiment with multiplayer aspects at the start of most of his ''Mario'' projects, as can be seen in prerelease screenshots of games such as ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': different multiplayer aspects were evidently intended for both of those games during early stages of development. When the experiments with multiplayer failed to come to fruition, in part due to technical limitations, the developers refocused on what they were used to, single-player; for both of the aforementioned games, multiplayer was put on the back-burner and was only used in in-engine side modes and unrelated [[minigames]].

Trading cards were released to promote the game's release. They feature various characters, enemies, items, and levels from the game. Each booster pack contains four regular cards and one each of Tips & Tricks, Standee, Foil, and [[FunTats]]. A book published by {{wp|Alfred Music|Alfred Music Publishing}} titled ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

The player needs an Ice Flower in {{world-link|4|castle|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} and get to the place with the large [[flip panel (Chain-Link)|flip panel]] with a [[climbing Koopa]] on it. Mario must stand on the front side, then jump to throw an [[Ice Ball]] at the climbing Koopa. The player must hold the [[Chain-Link|fence]] again and spin the flip panel as fast as possible. The climbing Koopa freezes, falls to the ground and drops infinite [[coin]]s. | |||

{{main|List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content}} | |||
During development, Princess Peach was planned to be a playable character. This idea was scrapped because the Toads better suited Mario's stature and the need for special programming to handle the physics of the dress. The development team wanted the game opening sequence to be more dramatic, causing a dispute between them and Shigeru Miyamoto. | |||
In the game's E3 2009 trailer, it shows an early design of the motion-controlled platforms in [[World 7-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-4]]. They lack they indicator which shows the player in control of the platforms and do not make a sound when they travel on the tracks. The bottom of the platforms are also less round compared to the final design. The tracks feature a simpler design, being completely black with red endpoints instead. | |||
