New Super Mario Bros. Wii: 1-2 --Down in the Underground
This level has a different feel than 1-1 because we've taken a pipe underground. Instead of being bright and colorful like 1-1, we find mostly cool colors, crystals, stone, bricks, and a remix of World 1-2 from the original Super Mario Bros. This level sports platforms that tilt back and forth, which could help or hinder progress and jumps. We first meet the Ice Flower in the first block we find. I think this item might possibly be my favorite because it freezes enemies in blocks of ice, allowing you to use them as extra platforms, or you can pick them up and throw them or kick them to send them into other enemies like you would throw Koopa shells. If the ice blocks hit hard surfaces, the ice block will shatter and the enemy will be killed- a great way to get rid of pesky Dry Bones! Also, shaking the Wiimote shoots an ice ball in each direction. Blue Toad and I got Ice Flowers and continued on. Getting the first Star Coin was easy. Getting the second Star Coin was a bit more difficult, because the other players started collected the coins that were to be the block platforms to help us get up once one of us hit the P-switch. They left enough to get close to the coin, and then Toad jumped on Luigi's head to get the coin. We're getting better at this cooperation thing! Toad also used the POW block to help us get the third coin. We got all 8 coins for 1-ups and an Ice Flower. Mario and Luigi finished the level.

Hey Liz! sounds great so far. I think the farther along you get you might revise that the ice flower is your fav and switch it out for the penguin suit, chris's favorite. You can still freeze people by shooting out snowballs, but you can also slide along your belly and it does work over the water levels, no pesky fishies can stop me now!!!!!!! though the ones that swim toward you can still kill you if they impact...very upsetting... but my personal favorite was always the Heli-hat... it looks ridiculous and akwardly bulky on mario when one compared it to the overalls but the merit it has in avoiding difficult jumps and not worth your time enemies, like drybones,makes this particular mushroom power in my p.o.v., the best. and I'm all about flight! certainly better than the bee suit from super mario galaxy becuase there was no time limit.
