In case you've been living under a rock, New Super Mario Bros Wii was released in the UK last Friday. Assuming you're not waiting until Christmas for it, chances are you'll have been blitzing through it this past weekend and hopefully you've loved it as much as I did when I reviewed it in issue 49.
The thing I love most about the game is the sheer number of different 'Mario moments' that happen on nearly every level. Whether it's the huge shoals of Cheep Cheeps that attack you on one level, the sneaky disappearing doors in the Ghost House or those Mario 3-style levels near the end set on the airship, there are tons of unique moments throughout the game that had me smiling non-stop.

The great thing about these moments is that everyone will have their own favourite. You might like grabbing that weird box that gives you the same powers as the Propeller Suit, or you might think that trick to get a particular Star Coin in World 3 (the one where you freeze an enemy then jump on the ice block and duck as it slides to get under a gap) is a touch of genius. Or maybe you're more a fan of the fact that Yoshi can eat the Hammer Bros' hammers?
This blog is more about your comments than my opinion. I want you to share your favourite bit of New Super Mario Bros Wii. It doesn't need to be anything huge, like the whole four-player aspect. It can be something that only happens in one level - like the platform that stops when a certain number of enemies lands on it - or it can be something really subtle, like the way Mario's knees bend as the slope gets steeper when he stands on a rotating platform.
So which is it? What's your favourite moment from New Super Mario Bros Wii? Naturally, if you don't have the game expect spoilers in the comments because no doubt some joker will mention the final boss battle.
