Game Play: Super Mario Bros. Wii is a video game. The requirements for this video game are a Nintendo Wii box, a Wii controller, and a T.V. This game can be played in any room that has a television.

Rules: The general way to attack enemies is to jump on them. Enemies such as Spiny, the spiky version of a Koopa Trooper, and the Pakkun Flower, a man eating plant that grows from tubes, cannot be jumped on. To kill these, you have to throw something at them. The power ups are found in the "?" boxes, and are the best way to stay alive through tough levels. There is no way of cheating in this game. The rules are stagnant because the video game has it's own code that cannot be changed. 

Objective:Players know that they have won the game when they reach the end of the level or when they jump on the black flag.

Goals: In order to achieve the objective, players must think quickly and wisely so they do not loose any lives.

Obstacles: Running out of lives or encountering an enemy causes the players to restart the game, would be major obstacles.

Physical Space:The environement of this video game is saving Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil Bowser from virtual worlds.

Fun Factor: The players said that the game was a 10 and was really fun to play. As I was observing the players, they seemed to enjoy the game most when they reached the point where there was a lot of action. Also, they enjoyed the game when they completed the levels because the levels were not so easy to complete.

Replay - ability: This is a game where the players would want to play over and over again because the levels get harder and longer as the game progresses and the players enter new worlds/portals. 

Level of Stress: The players seemed excited while they were playing this video game. The players did experience times where they grew frustrated because they lost or ran out of lives. However, the frustration made the players very determined in winning the game and advancing into new worlds.
