New Super Mario Bros. Wii/English Translation Differences

This is a sub-page of New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

What? You thought Smash 3DS was the only game by Nintendo to not have its localisation teams collaborate with each other? Prepare to be amazed, as they seem to have a habit of asking for pointless translations.

Story

Introduction

US	Europe
Today is Princess Peach's birthday!	Today is Princess Peach's birthday...

Ending

US	Europe
Oh, Mario, did I ever tell you about that secret world?	Oh, Mario, did I ever tell you about that secret world...?

Toad Houses

Red and Green Toad Houses

Normal Situation

US	Europe
Feeling lucky? Step right through the door to win some items!	Feeling lucky? Go through the door to try and win some items!

The US version is slightly inaccurate, since there is a chance you won't win anything after going through the door.

After Rescuing a Toad

US	Europe
Thanks! Here's a gift for you. Just head through the door!	Thanks for rescuing me earlier! Go through the door for a chance to win!

The US version is a bit imprecise, since you still have to play a game to get the gift.

Star Toad Houses

Normal Situation

US	Europe
Here's a rare item! I'm sure it'll come in handy...	I found this rare item for you! Did I do good? I hope it helps!

The US version seems to be worded a little bit better.

After Rescuing a Toad

US	Europe
Thanks! Here's a present for you! Head left if you want to go out.	Thanks for rescuing me earlier! Here's a present for you!

There's no reason to leave the Toad Houses, so the text in the US version is strange.

Hint Movies

Introduction by Toad

US	Europe
Hit the block to see hint movies! Go left if you're heading out.	Hit the block to see Hint Movies! Head left when you want to leave.

Instances of the text "hint movies" in the US version was changed to "Hint Movies" in the European version.

Oh, so that's where the enthusiasm from Peach's birthday went. This difference appears every time the game is mentioned by its name.
