MY at the time 5 year old picked up his level of play after a week.
A little bit of a learning curve for a 5 year old but after about a week he was more than adept at the skills needed to play.

Mario lives again!
I was thrilled to see this game come out. It's one that myself and my almost ten year old son can play together.It's not difficult to grasp the game and how to do the actions but it does get more difficult as the levels go on.

Frustrating for young ones
While the controls are generally easy to master, my youngest gets very frustrated with the game because he can't "do" a lot of the things his older brother can on this game. This can often times lead to fighting between my boys because the older one is able to play a lot faster and better than the younger one and doesn't like to wait for the little one to "catch up." For ages 6 and up, when the hand-eye coordination is a little bit better, this game is a tremendous amount of good, clean fun.

Great for 7 and up!
I have a 4 year old, 6 year old and 7 year old. The four and six year olds LOVE To watch, but don't seem quite old enough to really play yet. My 7 year old loves it because he can either play with me or by himself! We can't wait for the younger boys to want to play as well!

Great game...even for 5 year olds
Everyone in our family loves this game. I highly recommend it. Lots of challenges but not to hard that our preschooler doesn't advance. Huge hit!

Way too violent!
This game is so brutal and disgusting that it made me throw up my lunch.

Updated version of the original Super Mario Brothers is fun for everyone
Very similar to Super Mario Brothers on the older Nintendo system. This updated spin on that hugely successful title is very enjoyable for every member of the family to play. Fun for hours of fun. May be difficult or frustrating for some kids under 6 but not inappropriate in any way. One of the best games ever for any system.

Fun Family Game
Really a fun game. Personally don't think of the 'violence' as anything to worry about. It's too little to even notice.

My Opinion About the Wii Game
Seems like a great game. I heard that the game was really good and would love to get it for Christmas this year.
