Time has not aged the plumbers one bit! Although I still love the brothers my daughter has other opinions and found it a bit distressing that it was 2 dimensional. The game play is the same, the story is the same (alright similar) and the result is the...

I'm one of the few people, especially of my age group, who has not grown up with any Mario games or anything so when I rented this game i don't think it had the same magic for me that it does for many. However as just a platform game it is still pretty...

New Super Mario Brothers

By Matt (ultraninjas.com)

Bling-bling-bling-bling-bling. Jump! Bling-bling-bling-bling. Mushroom! Boink! Er, hello folks. As you can probably tell from my incomprehensive babbling, I've been playing New Super Mario Brothers for quite a while now and have the blisters on my...

Marking a return to proper 2D platforming for the first time in approximately 14 years, the game also provides the Nintendo DS with one of its finest titles.

New Super Mario Bros

By Jason (binaryjoy.co.uk)

Well it's been a long time coming but Nintendo has finally seen the light and have returned Mario to his roots, 2D platforming. Now don't get me wrong the recent Mario games have been great with classics like Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and even Mario...

Overall New Super Mario Bros took a long time coming and although Mario 64 did a great job in progressing the series to the next level its great to see him return to his original roots as for me the 2D Mario games still provide the most appeal....

Well I am glad to say that the New Super Mario Bros lives up to the hype and returns gamers, both young and old, back to the golden age of gaming with its super tight and super addictive gameplay.

New Super Mario Bros.

By (computerandvideogames.com)

Mario's back to his platform roots and he's every bit as good as he was the first time around - which could be his downfall

It's a proper, 2D Mario platformer, finally ; Beautiful designed, if somewhat traditional, platform action ; Superb mulitplayer distraction

Might be a little too retro for anyone expecting the usual Mario innovation ; Um, the music's a bit crap

If you can accept Mario's return to his original roots and forgive the pared-down, classic gameplay mechanics, you're in for some genuine platforming genius. Throw in a bunch of excellent mulitplayer modes and you're looking at one of the finest DS...

New Super Mario Bros.

By Adam Riley (cubed3.com)

Other than the constant supply of ports on the GBA, the last proper 2D Mario game was Super Mario World back on the Super Nintendo (Yoshi's Island does not really count). Quite amazing, right? Now Nintendo is back to bring Mario back home to his 2D...

And there we have it, the first true side-scrolling Mario since Super Mario World on the SNES and it almost reaches the same level of quality. The changes to the formula fit in with the existing world just fine and whilst some of the spark from...

New Super Mario Bros.

By Ben Hartland (console-central.com)

As the title suggests this is a completely new Super Mario Bros game, this is not a port of an older game with new features, it's completely new. The story is very simple, while princess peach is enjoying a nice walk with Mario; suddenly peach's castle...

Mario runs up to the castle to try and save it and at the same time Bowser Jr. appears and kidnaps the princess. Meaning it's up to Mario to save the princess once again. [b]Read on for the full review[/b]

Manufacturer's Description


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 as they make their way over fields, under water, through castles and into the air. New Super Mario Bros. is loaded with features and characters that could only exist in the Mushroom Kingdom, including all-new power-ups like the Blue Shell, in which Mario can ride, and a massive Mushroom that makes him ultra-huge. Not only that, but players can link wirelessly with a friend to play as both Mario and Luigi in multiplayer mode. Jump, bounce and power-up through visually stunning side-scrolling worlds filled with mushroom kingdom madness. The worlds are swarming with classic enemies like Goombas and Koopas, but watch out for new foes, big bosses and unbelievable challenges made possible by the dual screens of the Nintendo DS.
