Super Mario Vacation

Here is the sunny retreat Mario & friends should have had during the events of Super Mario Sunshine. Only this time around there won't be any annoying Piantas or graffiti removal. In fact, there will be no adventuring at all, and the princess can forget about it if she manages to get kidnapped, which she will. Instead of playing hero Mario will be partaking in the activities of a typical tourist: Surfing, parasailing, tanning on the beach with a Goomba and watching Diddy Kong struggle to swim in shallow water. Yoshi will be doing some scuba diving, too, but he can do whatever he wants. Nobody cares. It's a care-free vacation. It's all sandcastles, speedboats and sun. And maybe Daisy in a bikini. Or Birdo, which wouldn't surprise us.

Wi-Fi features:Compete 1-on-1 to see who can smash the Wario Brothers' sand castle first! Or group together with up to four players for some co-op dodgeball. Use your Wii Remote to whip over-inflated volleyballs at an unsuspecting Toad. He loves it! Look at him go!
