New Super Mario Bros.

It's been more than 20 years since Super Mario Bros. first arrived, and now Mario and Luigi are back in an all-new platformer for Nintendo DS. Boasting incredible 3D graphics to accompany classic 2D gameplay, this fast-paced adventure will have Mario fans cheering. New Super Mario Bros. features eight all-new worlds, each filled with extra levels, hidden paths, and secrets galore. It's possible to complete the game without visiting every world, which means you'll have to track down many alternate exits to visit every nook and cranny in the game.

If you're a Nintendo fan, particularly a Mario fan- you'll definitely find this game fun. It's not truly difficult, but great for something to do when you have your free time. I grew up with Super Mario Bros. so this was an absolute delight to play. It really brought the retro idea and made it work, but with a fresher appeal. A lot of things are the same- Mario and Luigi are playable of course, the goombas, koopa troopas, Toad, and Bowser's castle is all there, though they've managed to introduce some new things as well. Such as jumping up the walls, mini mushrooms, and mushrooms which make him seriously giant! The graphics really do add a lot to this game, it's a pretty gorgeous upgrade from the old Super Mario Bros games of fame. My only complaint is that at times, it's a bit difficult moving Mario, he seems to slide a bit, oddly. Besides that however, it truly is a nice game to have in your collection and I'd recommend it as a must for Nintendo and Mario lovers.

If your a DS owner then you should get New Super Mario Bros. The game brings back the classic 2D adventure feeling this time in the palm of your hands. The levels are well designed and are just beautiful. The game is very fun and engaging. To add more spice it is equipped with gorgeous 3D graphics some of the best seen on the DS. The game is packed with tons of contents including variety of fun Mini games and unlockables. Like I said before, you got a DS or even a 3DS, this game is definitely worth a pick up, you will not be disappointed.

It's alright. Better than average, but not phenomenal. I only beat a few worlds because it couldn't hold my attention, but it was a solid game. Perfect for kids who obsess over Mario.

It started out ok but as time went on in the game it was the same as all the other Mario games I guess I'm stuck back in the day when it was Nintendo 64 those where the good old days. Not a fan of the new Mario stuff. SORRY.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
I got this game a while back (3-4 yrs.) and I still play it to this day. Just from that, that can tell you a bit about the game, with it's lasting appeal. The gameplay is new and enhanced from the old Super Mario Bros, and is about a million times better! The only con I can find about this is the graphics are typical Nintendo DS tink. But do graphics make gameplay? Not at all! Sure, they enhance gameplay, but you only need a LITTLE bit of graphics to make a game. It doesn't have to be all shiney, new, and golden! Now, let's get back to the game. The game is SO amazing that I have kept my DS for 2 years longer than I wanted to, JUST to play this one little game! -OGameReviews, 11/25/12

Super Mario has had so many great games. We start to think eventually he will have his first bad game. This, however, is another awesome Mario game. The most iconic video game character of all time is back in another awesome platformer. This game has new power-up such as the Mega Mushroom. If you love Mario this belongs in your Nintendo DS.

Ok. this is the best game I have right now, out of all 11 games I've gotten. There are so many things that make this game epic: 1. Its fresh, new original, and fun. 2. Its got all-new power - ups. 3. Its like the wii version, but on the go. 4. AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are a few things that make it stupid . 1. mini mushrooms get you killed 2.blue koopa shells and mega mushrooms aren't used often. 3. the bosses. if it would let me, id say its great for any gamer!!!! i got it on monday night, and im at the beginigng of world 5. whoever says this game sucks , has gaming issues. multiplayer is just amazing, but the graphiic are a ok. this is even better than super mario 3d land!!! Overall, an epic game.

I bought this game for my 8 year old sister because a friend said it was good. My sister can't put her DS down. I bought her several DS games for christmas but this is the only one she plays repeatedly. I took it upon myself to see how the game is since I am a avid Mario fan, have been for years. I absolutely loved the game, so much that I want to buy my own DS just so that can play it. The graphics are like any other normal game would be on a DS, the gameplay is not repetitive and sluggish, there are several worlds to unlock as well as secret places too. the game reminded me of Super Mario World which made me more happier, I recommend this game completely!

I purchased this game in June to count down til new super mario brothers two, (but I have played this game before hand). It is It is one of the best games on DS! This game gives everyone a challange. It has fun built in minigames, and a 2- player mode. You will always find yourself coming back to play it! The music is great to I always plug it into my HQ speakers to enhance the sound, because it will make you happy, no joke:) This game is a great investment if you have played a mario game or havent!

When New Super Mario Bros. first launched, it was like a gift from Nintendo to Mario fans! Not only was the first new 2D Mario game in years, but it was, and still is, a fantastic game in general! The worlds are very colorful with plenty of challengingly fun levels. There is also a great selection of mini games to choose from which can also do multiplayer. So if you are a Mario/ platforming fan or have a DS/ DSI, this is a MUST HAVE game!!!

The Mario bros. are back in an amazing plat former. This is just like all the classic mario bros. games but it has better graphics. This game is easy for awhile but thankfully towards the end it starts to get a lot harder. Its still not a very challenging game but it has its times. This is a very addicting and fun game overall and its very fun to fight your friends in multiplayer. This is a great must have game for any DS owner!
