New Super Mario Bros [video game]

I love Mario. I am a huge Mario fan, and if there's one game franchise that doesn't get old to me, Super Mario Bros. would be the one. The fact that the series goes full circle to the 2D gameplay of the older games means a lot to long-time fans such as myself, and they haven't changed a thing! Actually, all changes made are for the better benefit. And they do seem to work quite well. Starting up the game, the first thing I noticed was that Bowser didn't kidnap the princess directly. He sends his kid, Bowser Jr., to kidnap her. After going through the first world, you fight Bowser like the classic NES Super Mario Bros. and drop him in magma. Afterwards, you spend the rest of the game chasing Bowser Jr. as he drags Toadstool across the worlds by her neck. Mario's moves are all previously seen before. The legendary jump is still there, plus crouching. You can jump and stomp now, like in Yoshi's Island, and do wall jumps like in Super Mario 64. Power-ups are very common as well, and they seem to conveniently be right where you need them. The level design takes cues from Super Mario Bros. 3, with World's secret paths that can be unlocked by buying your way through with Star Coins. On top of this greatness, you can store one item on the touch screen for later use--just like Super Mario World! The music is extremely catchy. It sounds cheap at first, but the more you listen to it, you'll find yourself humming it even when you're not playing. I also like the power-ups. A Mega Mushroom for smashing through crap in the way, a Mini-Mushroom for fitting through small spaces, tiny pipes and running across water, and also a Blue Shell that lets you plow through foes after running for a bit. That being said, there appears to be no way to fly in the game, but that's fine because it wouldn't help anyway. The levels are restricted to either completely vertical or completely horizontal, so flying is useless. This obviously came from the first Mario game. On that note, the exception to screen scrolling is in water levels, which flow around like SMB3 or World. There are only minor flaws with this game. First of all, Mario seems a bit slow. If you're used to the SMB3 movement of Mario or even the "World" controls, you'll be a bit disappointed to find that they made Mario's movements a bit more realistic. He travels a little slower when carrying shells, water currents push you around making swimming your least-favorite thing about the game, and sometimes you try to jump over an enemy but realize Mario clips the front of them, and you get hit. That last thing is forgivable, but the other stuff kinda kills it for me bit by bit. Not to fear, the 1-ups in this game are easy to obtain. Speaking of which, that's one thing that in and of itself is a good and bad thing. Sure, you can run through a level and score like, five lives, but you'll probably never game over as a result. Especially since after dying you can easily find another 1-Up in the level, it makes dying useless, so they might as well just not even have lives. Or game overs. Overall, this game took ALMOST everything that made Super Mario awesome (sans the flying, which you don't need anyway) and rolled it into one. Another thing I should mention is that it's got high replay value. Try running through the game and trying to unlock everything. You may find yourself picking it up again and again! I barely got the game today, and I'm already having memories of it. Nostalgia 2!

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. I've heard great things about those and I'm 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...it's 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 can't 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 haven't gotten to yet.

Good and fun

Está en perfecta condición y funciona muy bien. Como nueva.

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 wouldn't 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 won't. 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 don't 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.

Heres the thing. we got our son a 3ds for x mas. With the 3ds he got a handful of ds, and 3ds games that I ordered off of this website. Some of them were new, and some of them were used. This game stood out from all of the games that I ordered. The reason being is that this game was used, but the seller failed to mention that there was no box that came with the game. How crazy is that. The game came in a plastic wrapping, in a small brown envelope. Instead of sending it back and going with a diffrent seller, (it was so close to the holidays) we decided to keep it. I put the game into the 3ds because I wasn't about to wrap a bare game and stick it under the tree. Needless to say, he loves the game. We told him that Santa put that game in his 3ds special for him. (Gotta love 7 year olds!) He never asked for the box. Besides the missing box, and directions sheet, the game works like new.I will continue to purchase used games from this website, but I will not purchase from this seller again. "like new" to me means in its origional package, with no scratches. In other words mint condition. Lets work on our communication skills. I give an overall C.

As a fan of Mario games, this game is definitely a must own. I've heard people complain that it doesn't offer a whole lot of change or innovation compared to games like Super Mario Bros 3 on NES or Super Mario World on SNES, but honestly, that's kind of the point. This game, and indeed the series of games that it spawned (the New Super Mario Bros games) are very deliberately retro. They very deliberately use the same gameplay as the classics. That said, they still do offer some new power-ups that allow for new/different ways to do things. So no, its not the next generation of games, but it is another iteration of the classic formula that people still love, and apparently still want, considering how well this series seems to be selling. In addition to the main "storyline" game (if it can even be said to have much of a story), this also includes a load of mini-games and multiplayer games, some of which DON'T require a second copy of the game to play (as long as the other party has a DS). All in all a great purchase for fans of the Mario series.

Was a birthday gift for a family member. They seemed to enjoy it.

Mes filles et mon mari en sont très contents !! Je recommande ce jeu qui reste un grand classique tout le monde doit l avoir chez soi

Y muy entretenido.

I always been a fan of the new super Mario Bros game so I got this one and I love playing itI’

価格が １０００円以下なら 買いであるが それ以上なら ３D方が断然良い

Nach langem Warten kam heute nun endlich doch noch das Spiel bei uns an. Es ist ein Klasse Spiel und meine Kinder haben sich über den Ersatz unseres Originals gefreud. Es funktioniert alles super und genauso wie bei einem deutschen Spiel auch. Also ist ein Import aus der UK sehr empfehlenswert.
