New Super Mario Bros (Wii)

I think New Super Mario Bros is the game I have had most fun with when playing with friends. The amount of hilarious moments almost never stop. This is a game I have played multiple sessions, and every time is almost as fun as the first time we experienced it.

The way the co-op works is that everyone is playing a platformer at the same time, in typical Mario feel, while trying to reach the end of the level. This objective gets harder the more players there are, I feel. The ability to pick another player up and potentially throw him off an edge because he took the penguin suit is a very satisfactory feeling, maybe too satisfying. Everyone develops a personal agenda against another player or all the players, and the sense of victory is never there until you are the only one who was able to reach the flagpole.

It's all fun and good with two people, but it's best with the maximum four players for the ultimate bullying against each other. I recommend everyone to give this game a try if you're a fan of couch co-op gaming.
