Is there any way to connect more than 2 wiimotes? I would like to play super mario bros with 4 people.

Just connect them as normal through pair-up & enable all tabs in wiimote config to 'real wiimote' and make sure it says "4 real wiimotes connected".
I've used 4 wiimotes with friends on NSMB, can confirm it works 100%.

If connection keeps dropping it might just be a faulty BT reciever. After you connect all 4 succesfully, only go with controller 1 in-game. Then in player selection, press alt+f6, alt+f7 and alt+f8 & all players will appear as characters in the game.

I succesfully tried both a $10 DeLock brand micro-bluetooth adapter and a cheapo $2 dongle from dealextreme (here). Neither one have bandwidth problems with 4 players connected

I got a new BT dongle and it works fine now no issues.

Bah, my one is having problems with Bluesoliel. When the second wiimote connects, one of them then disconnect after exactly 19 seconds. It might be because I'm using two fake wiimotes though.
