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

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!

But... but that is the fun! Complete chaos!

Maybe it's the people I've played with, since we kinda enjoy yelling at each other...

Even without the multiplayer, though, I think the game is among Mario's best. I'm surprised people can prefer NSMB DS to this, I found that game to be kind of mediocre.

Agreed 100%.  I was reading through his post and trying to find the negative lol.  Playing alone is incredibly fun, but it's just the tip of the iceberg.  Multiplayer is where it shines!  A calm evening can transform into a chaotic uproar just by popping this game into a Wii.  I didn't imagine at the start of the year that I'd be yelling at my mother for stealing my Yoshi when he ran away!  Eating people and spitting them into a piranha plant, taking all the power ups, jumping on people's heads and making them fall down a pit, how can you not have fun?  All this plus excellent controls and well-designed levels.  It's definitely my GOTY.  

Lmao@ 3) The main character doesn't have an ass that would turn a straight guy gay.

Lol@ "the story isn't deep so it can't be GOTY".  What Mario story has ever won literary awards?

@the person who said up is left and down is right (or something like that) are you sure you were holding the controller properly?  It sounds to me like you were holding it vertically...
