Wii Games for Mother?

My mother has set up the wii that I left at her place and she wants to play games on it. She hasn't picked up a video game to play since she beat Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the SNES. She's watched me play a few games over the years, though. So she knows a decent amount about gaming and how to differentiate a good game from a bad one. But she's so out of practice, that her skills are like a beginner's. I suggested Super Mario Galaxy to start and she likes that idea, but can anyone else think of any others that she might like? She's always liked the stories of Zelda games, but she's already seen me 100% Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess is a little too (visually) dark for her tastes, so she wouldn't be interested in that those, specifically.

She recently got into pokemon and she at least recognizes all of the big Nintendo faces (I was really surprised when she recognized Samus, though she didn't recognize Fox). She is the ultimate backseat gamer who's finally picking up the controller and I DON'T want to screw this up. All suggestions are welcome except for M rated games. She's unfazed by those, but has always shown more interest in the more childish side of gaming.

    The cheapest games on the system are pretty fun I think, try Wii sports, Wii play, and Wii fit. If she likes Mario get her galaxy 2, Mario kart, super paper Mario and new super Mario bros. If she likes the fantasy stories of the Zelda games consider getting her an rpg, like final fantasy Chrystal chronicles. 

    Also I bet it would be fun if you got her a cheap ds and Pokémon diamond, and if she enjoyed it you could get Pokémon battle revolution for the Wii which lets you transfer your Pokémon to the stadium and level them on either game.

    The Wind Waker. Video games aren't really a skill, anyway it's supposed to be fun to learn.

    Start with beginner games...the kind for kids.  Or, why dont you take her to a game shop and walk around..see what sparks her interest. 

    For a wii and considering we're talking about a parent, try the stuff where you can get her moving...especially things she can do with friends rather than just sit there and commit to gaming.
