Nintendo is launching the first Mario Game for Nintendo Wii today. This new game has Super Paper Mario flipping between 2D and 3D Perspectives. It literally transports you into another dimension.

Like a story ripped from the pages of a paperback novel, Mario has the ability to switch between a 2-D and 3-D perspective. With the motion-sensitive and pointing abilities of the Wii Remote(TM), this first Mario(TM) game for Wii delivers the goods.

At the start of the story, a mysterious villain kidnaps Princess Peach and Bowser, and forces the unlikely couple to get married without any paperwork. Mario, always the hero, sets out to save the day before a rift of dark energy tears the universe apart.

Players solve puzzles, perform new actions, learn fresh abilities and beat bosses using the innovative and action-sensitive remote. Players can even navigate through parts of the game as Peach, and of course, Bowser, whose devastating fiery breath burns like lemon juice on a paper cut.

Super Paper Mario, Rated E for Everyone, launches today. For more information about the game, visit www.SuperPaperMario.com.
