New Super Mario Bros

Now Nintendo went and made one of this most popular handheld games on the Nintendo ds besides the legend of Zelda ones but this game beats them all new super Mario bros . this game was a launch title for the ds and its still popular because you cant beat a Mario game because wants you start playing you cant stop thats how fun these games are but this game is hard you have to collect coins to fully finish a level theres 3 in each and it only saves after you finish the castle. are if you collect enough coins and your at a mushroom you need 5 coins for that plus they have minigames that you can play instead of the game in the beginning so have fun with this game i recommend it to any video game fan are who likes to play games because its for everyone.

I love everything about the game, only thing is the game works when it wants to in my 3DS

So the product is in really good shape it arrived on time and very fast. But the game cartridge was not in the case when it arrived. So Im returning it.

This game has several levels and two worlds that are hidden! It is a game that will keep you playing even after beating it for the fun or to be able to collect the 3 star coins that are in each level! The game has great music while playing and progressively gets harder in a way that players can improve. This game is perfect for anyone whether you have experience in a Mario bros. games or not. You can also play as Luigi in this game and there are also mini-games when you feel like playing them and multiplayer for playing with others that also have the game. Overall it is a great game and although there are shortcuts to beat the game quick, you can always replay levels or new levels that you havent yet discovered.

As a fan of Mario games, this game is definitely a must own. Ive heard people complain that it doesnt offer a whole lot of change or innovation compared to games like Super Mario Bros 3 on NES or Super Mario World on SNES, but honestly, thats kind of the point. This game, and indeed the series of games that it spawned (the New Super Mario Bros games) are very deliberately retro. They very deliberately use the same gameplay as the classics. That said, they still do offer some new power-ups that allow for new/different ways to do things. So no, its not the next generation of games, but it is another iteration of the classic formula that people still love, and apparently still want, considering how well this series seems to be selling. In addition to the main storyline game (if it can even be said to have much of a story), this also includes a load of mini-games and multiplayer games, some of which DONT require a second copy of the game to play (as long as the other party has a DS). All in all a great purchase for fans of the Mario series.

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!

I own the original Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, and Super Mario World for GBA, and I bought this game with the hope it would be as good as the beloved classics I own. So, far the game looks good (I just started playing it). It has the old nostalgic feel, but the reason that I dont give five stars is because it feels a little slower, I miss the feather power (I dont think is in this game) and riding Yoshi. Anyway, the game is still pretty good. I definitively recommend to newer gamers and old timers like me. I think itll be worth the money.

My kids found Mario on YouTube. I have a DS, so when I told them we could find a game for it they went wild. They love playing it(even though they cant make it past the first level yet). They are 7 and 5 years old, but can play it good. My husband and I remember Mario from our youth and will play after they go to bed. I love that it helps them learn to think ahead.

I purchased two nintendo hand held games, so my husband and I can play without having to share a game. Yesterday,I took the games to our sons so the grandchildren and I could play. They captured the games, keeping for a week. Not only are the children having fun but, our son was enjoying when I left for home. I feel it was a good choice. I enjoyed the original nintendo but, did not want to tie up our t.v.
