Is NSMB Wii worthy of the title Game Of The Year?

To my absolute shock, I'm not in love with this game (yet). There's something missing. I played NSMB on the DS and got 100%. I played Mario Galaxy and got 100%. I even found all of the Stars in Mario 64 DS! With Mario Sunshine, I couldn't find everything, but I remember being obsessed with that game. I even own all of the Mario Advance games and I bought the original and Mario World on the Wii Virtual console. My point: I love Mario platformers.

But something's wrong here. I'm not feeling the magic. I'm happy with the purchase, but this game isn't game of the year, imo (Unless something epic is going to happen in World 6).

If you didn't play the game with friends, then you will not understand the magic of this game. It will be just another Mario (which is still a lot of quality in the package...).

I played it with 3 players.  At first, it was fun.....then things got ugly.  People were taking power ups, even when they were already powered up.  I'd go for a tricky jump, only to lose momentum because I'd bump into the person in front of me.  I'd fall into a pit, and attempt to wall jump my way out.....then, somebody would jump on my head and kill me.  I'd get blindsided by a turtle shell, thrown by one of my friends.  I'd press "A" to avoid dying.  Then, somebody else would press "A", too (thus killing us both!).  And the greatest sin of all?  When I was picked up by somebody else and tossed to my death.

I love the game, but that had to be the most frustrating day of my video game life!
