New Super Mario Bros

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.

Just got the game today and was greeted with this upon startup. All 3 worlds were stuck at the same exact place too. And then I couldnt log onto my Amazon account despite entering the correct password. 666 + my amazon account not working = 10/10 actually had me nervous for a sec

I have always played the puzzle type games (Tetris etc.) but decided to try this game with the new DS system. I became addicted....I love it. This is the first Mario game I have played so cant compare it to other Mario games but I have played such games as Shrek and Lord of the Rings and find the Mario game more fun and easier to play. I am older (57) so dont have the skills of some of the younger users but enjoyed sharing it with my nephew as we compared gameplay. He always beat me of course....:-)

I love this game. Its basically like the older Mario but revamped with new tricks and moves. New levels and some old ones too with different quirks. I bought this game for my two daughters, but lowkey, I bought it for myself. I couldnt wait until it came in the mail for me to play it! They dont know I have the game and its not time for gift giving yet (which is about 2 weeks away). I think Ill play it until then lol. One thing Nintendo was always on point with was their Mario games. Nintendo has always been a child to teen system to me, but they always deliver.

Thank u for a great copy of this game. Looking forward with doing more business with you.

This game is thought to be ideal. It not only combines a classic favorite in video gaming but also the visual aestheticism of todays graphic quality. It was shipped along with a number of other things I had ordered (very quickly I might add) and I would definitely buy again from this seller.

Like all these over priced cartridges my kids love them for a month or so and then grow tired of it. I did ask my kids what they thought of the game before writing this review (6 and 9). They simply gave me the standard answer, Its OK, its fun. However, I can tell my 9 year old daughter has outgrown the meager value and simplistic nature of the DS. Sorry for the poor product review, but the majority of these Mario games all look about the same considering the very grainy graphics, 2 square screen and 2D play. Its a good time waster for my kids while driving, but I have realized that the screen is so small that they are often straining from 12 inches away to see the characters. To be flat out honest, I dont know why anybody would pay $200 for a DS when you can by a 7 tablet for the same amount of money. I dont sell electronics for a living but the tablets have significantly more capability, power, appealing graphics and most important - Free software! I thought size was the primary issue for buying the DS, but all my sons friends have crash cases which make carrying their DS similar to carring around a brick. I didnt buy the DS for my kids, but I did buy the cartridge used on Amazon. It was packaged, looks and works like new for one-third the price. Apparently thousands of kids that are much older than my kids love the DS device and all the Mario games. I wish someone could explain to me why compared to other devices and products on the market that are much more capable and cheaper to play.

It was very functional and the kid enjoyed it completely, he spent hours and hours and I am sure to this day he still enjoys it. I recommend this as one of the top sellers and go to games from the ds even if you have a 3ds

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.

I am 36 years old. My son is 6 years old. We both play this and have a blast. I have played all the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii Mario games. This game utilizes everything from the earlier SMB games and adds some new things. It has levels that pay tribute to old levels (ie: 8-7 is different but reminiscent of 8-7 in the original SMB). There is even a level that has floors similar to the original Mario Bros arcade game. In my opinion, this is the best 2D Mario game out. The level design and fun factor in this game is off the charts. In fact, it inspired me to get some old classic handheld mario games...Super Mario Land 1,2, and 3 and the Wario Land games for the GB/GBC. Ive heard great things about those and Im looking forward to playing them. In case anyone is wondering...this is a different game than New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii...they both contain completely different levels. The Wii version allows up to 4 players to play on the same Wii at the same time...its a fun game, but I like this DS game better. There are 3 save slots, so my son has his own save and I have my own. He loves the game but has trouble after world 3, so I have to help him through some of the more difficult parts. He loves the minigames and begs me to play them with him. If you have 2 DS systems and 1 cartridge, then you can play the minigames against each other which is fun. I cant say I love the minigames as much as he does, but they are fun, quick, and it makes him happy. I just finished the main game a few minutes ago and it was a blast from beginning to end. Each world is easy enough for casual gamers to get through and there are 3 coins in each level to collect...collecting all these coins gives more challenge for the more advanced gamer. The game got more difficult around world 6, so I went back through the earlier worlds again to collect those coins and to build up my extra lives. Then I came back to finish the game. To complete the game, you only have to go through 6 of the 8 worlds...the other 2 worlds have to be unlocked somehow. Now that I completed the game, I need to go back and collect all those coins and unlock the two worlds I havent gotten to yet.
