How to play New Super Mario Bros. Mii on Mac
Game summary
New Super Mario Bros. Mii was an "experience" tech demo shown at E3 2011 for the Wii U. It is based on New Super Mario Bros. Wii and contains new levels, as well as the option for players to use their Miis. This demo was meant to demonstrate the "Off-TV Play" capability of the Wii U, allowing the player to continue playing a game on the Wii U GamePad without having to use a television screen. Players were able to play for up to ten minutes before the game would automatically reset. While the game was only exhibited to show gameplay experience using the controller of the Wii U, New Super Mario Bros. U is "based on" New Super Mario Bros. Mii.
Play New Super Mario Bros. Mii on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play New Super Mario Bros. Mii on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
