New Super Mario Bros

This game is primarily played by my 6 year old. He enjoys it and finds it challenging but fun. You have to help Mario rescue the princess from the evil turtle, Bowser. Hes never made it all the way through the game yet, but he may be a bit younger than the age group Nintendo was aiming for. Give him time! He said he did kill Bowser once, and for that he is quite proud, but he came back to life.

I purchased my 12 year old daughter a DS for Christmas and wanted to purchase a game that would grow with her. She is entering an awkward age, between being a child and being a teenager. As soon as her 14 year old brother found out she had the game, he could be found sneeking into her room and testing it for her. My young nephew (who is 6), also got this game for his DS and loves it. So if your looking to invest because these can be pricey, this is the game for you.

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.

First let me explain that this isnt a remake of the original Super Mario Bros. Instead, its a try into revitalizing the once great Super Mario Bros. series. This game is influenced by Super Mario Bros. with the each stages gameplay and finish pole. Its influenced by Super Mario Bros. 3 with its map layout of each world, along with its toad houses and hammer dudes walking around. Its influenced by Super Mario World with some stages backgrounds and gameplay elements including the climbing on the fences. The graphics for this game are very nice. All the characters are rendered in 3d as well as some of the backgrounds. They blend nicely together. No complaints. Mario and Luigi look different from each other this time around. Just as they should. I didnt pay too much attention to sound, but one thing that did annoy me was what Mario said after finishing each level. Well.. what is sounded like he said was, Thank you so nice! which is irritating to hear so many times. The english is so bad, that its unbearable. Now onto the lackluster part. The gameplay. The game is easy. Not only that, but they provide you with a crap load of power ups beyond the ones in the stages, making it even easier. If that werent enough, they also keep 2 out of the 8 worlds as an unlockable secret. But wait, if youre lucky enough, you might also accidentally discover a way to only do 3 worlds before getting to world 8. So, chop the game in less than half and thats its length. And youre done. Its way too easy and it seems like they dont even want you to play through the game. And then on top of that, theres a lackluster ending. Is there any motivation to complete the other worlds? No! The levels arent even challenging. I had 50 lives after 3 worlds. Nintendo knows how non-challenging the game is. Thats why you cant save when you want, just every time you complete a castle or spend star-coins. And thats annoying. So much for a pick up and play game. To spice things up, each stage has 3 stars-coins to collect, some of which require some thinking, but most are easy. And what do they do, give you powerups to make the game even easier. You dont have to collect the stars, its pointless. You could collect them only for collectings sake. There are also red coins to collect. They give you powerups as well for collecting them within the given time limit. It cant get any easier. This game features 3 power ups not included in any other mario game. First you can grow to super size. They give you this way too often and what does this do, it gives you up to 5 lives, the amount depending on how much destruction you cause. Save those for levels filled with bricks its easy lives. The 2 other power-ups are worthless. One that makes you really tiny, useless against enemies makes this one just for finding secrets. The problem is that they almost never give this power-up to you in the level where the secrets are at. So youll have to go find one where there is and play that level to get it. This becomes quickly annoying. The other powerup gives you a turtle shell so you can slide like a turtleshell against enemies. Since the flower is much easier to play with, this powerup goes to help acquire secrets in stages that, also dont provide the powerup. Fetch it boy. This ones rare. Super annoying. The castle boss battles are also easy. If you get to the boss with fire powerup, which is super easy to do, since you can always carry a spare poweup with you, that you cant lose by dying, and call upon it whenever you need it, the boss becomes very little of a challenge. Even the final boss battle at the end of the game was easy. Sometimes all you need is super mario so that you dont die crossing the bridge to the other side to drop the bridge. The mini games are recycled from Super Mario 64 DS and so is the multiplayer from every other mario game. So this should last you a bit (sarcasm). Great extras Nintendo! (more sarcasm). It would have been nice if you included the original super mario bros as a nice extra. But what am I thinking, that wouldve been a good idea. VERDICT This game is Disappointing. Its short and easy. It seemed nice in the first world, until it got too repetitive and easy. If you want to play a Mario game better than this, go play super mario advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. The game looks, feels, sounds, and breathes like a super mario game. In fact, the game is fun to play, but its flaws are too much for me and thats why I wouldnt buy it. Otherwise it would be a great game. You know its easier to find the secret to skipping the game than it is to find the secret to unlock the hidden 1/4. Doesnt that suck.

I have a Nintendo ds and also a Nintendo switch but in my opinion this is the best version of Mario Bros ever!

Item as described

The game functions just like I remember and I love that I was able to play it again

A very fun game. My grandchildren ejoy it immensely. My granddaughter is 7 and my grandson is 5 and they plays it every chance they gets they will play their other video games but you can tell that this is by far their favorite. Its fun to play and keeps the interest of children and adults. Very glad I purchased it. I would recommend this highly a little expensive but well worth it. This is a definite must have for all video game player.

it is a very good game. a lot like the original Mario Bros. for the first Nintendo system. the levels look very similar to the first mario game. the difference is that mario has more abilities than he did in the original game and the graphics are pretty good. he can jump a lot higher, he can store an item for later use, and jump of walls to reach higher places. the items are cool too. there is one mushroom that makes you very big and you can crush things. another mushroom that makes you super small and light weight so you can jump super high and fit into tiny spaces.there is also a shell mario can where in underwater levels that helps him swim faster. this game keeps you very entertained because there are alot of secret levels and its fun trying to find them. but if you wanna take a break from the actual game there are a lot of mini games you can play that are kinda like the Mario Party games and they are very fun too. you can even battle against other DS players. this game has a lot of elements from the older and newer mario games and i think it is a good game for mario fans of all ages.
