Saves that survive updates, a settings gear on the pause menus, and Esc for the + menu.

  • Windows: everything is kept in Documents\MarioWiiSaveData. That folder holds your settings (including where your game files are), saves and caches. Extract a new version anywhere and it carries on where the last one left off: no folder prompt, same saves.
    • The first start of 0.0.8 takes over your existing data. It looks in an older version's UserData folder extracted next to it (for example NSMBW-0.0.7-windows-x64 beside NSMBW-0.0.8-windows-x64) and picks the most recently used one.
  • Settings gear on the pause menus. While the world map's + menu or a level's pause menu is open, a gear sits at the top right. Tap it (or click it on Windows) for the same settings window as on the save file screen. Closing the window brings you back to the menu.
    • On Android, the on-screen remote stays up for the menu itself. Taps anywhere off its buttons reach the game.
  • Esc opens the + menu. On Windows, Esc now acts as + (alongside Enter), so it brings up the world map's menu or pauses a level. Esc also closes the settings window. It no longer opens the quit prompt; close the window to quit. Rebind it in Keybinds if you like.
  • Android: saves, settings and the imported game were already kept across updates. That's unchanged.

Includes 0.0.7's real ultrawide, settings gear and rebindable keys.

Important

No game files are included. You need your own New Super Mario Bros. Wii (USA, SMNE01, revision 1), extracted with Dolphin. See Getting the game files.
