New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Mario Brothers DS

Mini games are kind of fun, they rely on different skill sets, one even uses the microphone.
The overall game itself is a combination of elements from Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, and Mario 64. The stylus isn't used much for the normal game, but the controls are easy enough. You basically have the same controls as Mario Bros 1. The most frustrating part of the game is the save system. Granted, most of the levels are very easy and short. But many people have normal lives outside of games, so we tend to rely on frequent saves. In New Super Mario Bros, you can only save after major milestones or after you beat certain areas of the map (castles are one example). The graphics and sound are top notch, typical of all Super Mario games. Again, there are elements of all the previous Mario games in the DS version. Some of the sounds and moves are directly from Mario 3 and Mario World, while the audio sound bytes reminded me of Mario 64. Overall, the game gets 4/5 stars.

Pros: Mario fans rejoice, you get a nicely made Mario game for the DS. Easy controls for all ages, lots of familiar elements from previous Mario games. Excellent graphics and sound.

Cons: Frustrating save system, easy levels, short game.

Overall: 4/5 stars because it is still worth buying for the DS/DS Lite/DSi.

As mario pursues them throughout both overworld and underworld, the appearance of Bowser and the Koopas shows that the list of fiends opposing him is longer than he expected. But Mario is not one to be put off by such things. Come along with Mario, Luigi and other friends as they venture into the depths of the Mushroom Kingdom to get Peach back once again. Gameplay Although New Super Mario Bros. is a modern addition to the Mario Bros. tome, it revels in the fact that it is an old school side-scrolling platformer through and through. The single player mode is set on 80 levels spread across eight worlds, with players assuming the role of either Mario or Luigi. As in all Mario Bros. games, the ultimate goal is to rescue Peach, but as players traverse game levels the immediate goal is to collect coins, hop on top of enemies, and break open blocks while searching for power-ups as you race to capture the flag at the end of each level. Each of the game's eight worlds climaxes with a boss battle tied into the abduction of Peach, in which players will need to utilize the game's six power-ups in order to have success. Along with its single player mode New Super Mario Bros. for DS also features two different multiplayer modes. The first is the Mario vs. Luigi, 2-player competitive mode. Here it's brother vs. brother in a literal race for Stars. Players choose to play as either Mario or Luigi, with the goal to collect the Stars that appear throughout the stage at timed intervals. If one brother gets a star(s) first they can be stolen away by the other player by doing damage. The one who gets to the set number of stars wins. This mode uses local wireless DS Single-Card download play, so only one game card is needed. The other multiplayer mode revolves around mini-game play. There are variety of these, which can be engaged in on a one-on-one basis, or in tournament fashion with 2-4 players. The Power-ups. New Super Mario for DS contains contains six power-up options. Three of these, the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower and the Starman are back from previous games. There are also three entirely new to the game, these being: the Blue Koopa Shell, which Mario can crawl into to protect himself and spin when inside it to attack enemies; the Mega Mushroom, which allows for a huge Mario; and the Mini-Mushroom, which makes Mario very small and able to get into places that wouldn't otherwise be available.
