New Super Mario Bros

The classic Super Mario saga fits right at home on the Nintendo DS gaming platform. All of Mario and his buddies are colorful, clear, and full of action. The DS loads the game fast, and it plays at all levels without lag or hic-ups. This is a perfect marriage of mobile gaming platform and one of the all-time classic games. Grab a copy and enjoy it!

New Super Mario Bros. is a great game. Though its not the first Super Mario Bros. game to hit the DS (Super Mario 64 DS is different since its, well, Super Mario 64, just remade, but its a very good game too), its still a must have game when purchasing a DS. There are plenty of Worlds to play through for those that want a good singleplayer experience, but it also has a Mario vs. Luigi mode that lets you play wireless with a friend nearby (No Wi-fi though), as well as a few minigames (Some if not all taken from Super Mario 64 DS) to add a change of pace from the usual Goomba-stomping and Coin-grabbing runs you usually play. In short, a great game to have, a definite buy if youre into Mario and platformers.

I love Mario. I am a huge Mario fan, and if theres one game franchise that doesnt get old to me, Super Mario Bros. would be the one. The fact that the series goes full circle to the 2D gameplay of the older games means a lot to long-time fans such as myself, and they havent changed a thing! Actually, all changes made are for the better benefit. And they do seem to work quite well. Starting up the game, the first thing I noticed was that Bowser didnt kidnap the princess directly. He sends his kid, Bowser Jr., to kidnap her. After going through the first world, you fight Bowser like the classic NES Super Mario Bros. and drop him in magma. Afterwards, you spend the rest of the game chasing Bowser Jr. as he drags Toadstool across the worlds by her neck. Marios moves are all previously seen before. The legendary jump is still there, plus crouching. You can jump and stomp now, like in Yoshis Island, and do wall jumps like in Super Mario 64. Power-ups are very common as well, and they seem to conveniently be right where you need them. The level design takes cues from Super Mario Bros. 3, with Worlds secret paths that can be unlocked by buying your way through with Star Coins. On top of this greatness, you can store one item on the touch screen for later use--just like Super Mario World! The music is extremely catchy. It sounds cheap at first, but the more you listen to it, youll find yourself humming it even when youre not playing. I also like the power-ups. A Mega Mushroom for smashing through crap in the way, a Mini-Mushroom for fitting through small spaces, tiny pipes and running across water, and also a Blue Shell that lets you plow through foes after running for a bit. That being said, there appears to be no way to fly in the game, but thats fine because it wouldnt help anyway. The levels are restricted to either completely vertical or completely horizontal, so flying is useless. This obviously came from the first Mario game. On that note, the exception to screen scrolling is in water levels, which flow around like SMB3 or World. There are only minor flaws with this game. First of all, Mario seems a bit slow. If youre used to the SMB3 movement of Mario or even the World controls, youll be a bit disappointed to find that they made Marios movements a bit more realistic. He travels a little slower when carrying shells, water currents push you around making swimming your least-favorite thing about the game, and sometimes you try to jump over an enemy but realize Mario clips the front of them, and you get hit. That last thing is forgivable, but the other stuff kinda kills it for me bit by bit. Not to fear, the 1-ups in this game are easy to obtain. Speaking of which, thats one thing that in and of itself is a good and bad thing. Sure, you can run through a level and score like, five lives, but youll probably never game over as a result. Especially since after dying you can easily find another 1-Up in the level, it makes dying useless, so they might as well just not even have lives. Or game overs. Overall, this game took ALMOST everything that made Super Mario awesome (sans the flying, which you dont need anyway) and rolled it into one. Another thing I should mention is that its got high replay value. Try running through the game and trying to unlock everything. You may find yourself picking it up again and again! I barely got the game today, and Im already having memories of it. Nostalgia 2!

My grand sons love the game.

I liked the fact that the game card had no visible wear signs. The thing was that the last user or someone else did not erase the memory. Not nessesarly a bad thing though.

I think this game is awesome, Im a 19-year old player and Ive had so much fun playing it. Read below : Pros: - The worlds are great - The mini games are great - The music and sound are kinda cool ! - Graphis are cool too Cons : - In general, this game is kinda short ! But for younger players, you might take a longer while to finish it. - My touch pad is a little bit screwed up, so Ive had problems troughout the game when trying to touch it to get a new item. But if yours is Ok, then go ahead and buy it. This one worths it !!

I know the name might sound a little weird, but New Super Mario Bros. is a great 2D side scrolling adventure. It all just kind of feels right. There are 8 worlds standard stuff your ice world, desert world, the usual, but they have added some new stuff like these coins that are hidden throughout ever level, there are three in each level. There are two new kinds of mushrooms that you can get one makes you giant and destroy everything in your path which is really very satisfying, and the other turns you into a tiny Mario and lets you get to places that you wouldnt be able to if you were big. The game might seem a little on the short side if you just run through it without getting some of the harder coins or unlocking 2 of the worlds that you can just skip if you really wanted to, but you probably wont. the games about 4 hours long just going through then going back and starting to get all the coins you realize how much stuff there is to get everything it can take in upwards of 20 hours, but you dont have to do that to make the game feel complete you just really need to unlock all most of the levels and beat Bowser. All in all it feels like a really good experience.

So far, havent found anything about this game I dislike. This game was purchased for my son on his Nintendo 2ds platform. Its a great take on the Mario game while remaining reminiscent of the original Super Mario Bros., but with many improvements. My five year old son was amazed that his father knew how to play it, which made me chuckle a bit. The levels do a good job of getting more challenging as you go and all the little additions to the game are great! The giant Mario mushroom is my sons favorite, allowing Mario to grow to enormous size and squash the mushrooms and Koopas and kick the warp tunnels out of the way. Nintendo had a smash hit with this game when it was introduced all those years ago, and with every iteration reinvents it enough to make it a hit with another generation of kids. Great job guys, the whole family loves the game.
