Product Description
New Super Mario Bros. for the DS lets you play an updated version of the classic Super Mario Bros. world, with all-new moves taken from other hit Mario games. When Mario and Princess Peach are taking a walk, a bolt of lightning hits Mushroom Castle. Mario goes off to investigate, but he returns Bowser has kidnapped Peach! He'll track down Bowser on the classic, original Super Mario Bros. map with all the moves he's picked up in the other games. Throw turtle shells, butt-stomp to crack open floors -- you can even use the tanooki suit from Super Mario Bros. 3. Use the DS dual screen to see where you are on a map & play fun minigames. Also includes a two-player mode where Mario and Luigi race and compete for coins.

 It's a-him! Mario! October 9, 2008
B. J. Critcher (PA)
I consider myself to be one the lucky 15 year-olds in the world to start off with the original NES as my first system. After years upon years of knowing Mario, and loving his franchise, it's hard to believe that I'm one of the few that KNOWS Mario in my generation. And just when you think the series was getting just a teensy bit lame with their overly expanded Mario Party series....POP, and small double screened white thing comes out of nowhere and you tap stuff to play games. Brilliant.
And with all that said and done, Mario jumps onto the scene with the best way to go classic and new at the same time. NEW Super Mario Bros. will have you jumping blocks, stomping goombas, and kicki'n turtle shells just like the good'ol days. I've spent countless hours on this game, with a mix of Super Mario 64 and the original, this game introduces Mario to those who never played with him before.
The game is pretty lengthy on it's own, not to mention getting high-scores, star coins and secret warp cannons to other worlds. The game gets you playing for quite a while.
While at first the graphic style looked retarded too me, it really isn't. Mario and his enemies are in full 3-D, and the backdrops and items are 2-D. The style comes together extremely well. I've always imagined turning Mario gigantic to squish teeny turtles, seems my dream came true.
The music is spectacular, while I've been listening to remix upon remixes of the original theme(dada da dada da!) I really expected them to bring out another hash of classic Mario tunes.....they didn't. Instead came a slew of NEW tunes that busted out of the game as if saying "You didn't really think this was the same game did ya?" I find myself to this day humming the official tune for the game.
As for after beating the game, there's a ton to do in the main-game (as mentioned above) but beside that are a ton of 2 to 4 player mini-games that are just a blast to play. While a few are straight from Super Mario 64 DS, there are also a bunch of new games that will have you playing with friends for hours, or improving your perfect score.
New Super Mario Bros. told the world that classic is still awesome, and Mario will always shine wherever there is a sign of fun. Make sure this is in your DS collection. Thank you so much for-a reading my review!

Man, this game brings back so many memories, I highly recommend it to ANYONE with a DS, It is easy enough for kids to learn but challenging enough for adults to play.
Can't put it down! September 22, 2008

This game is a lot of fun! Old style Mario with a bit of twist in some parts. I can't put it down! You'll enjoy it very much.
I just wish they would come out with Super Mario Land!

This is a terrific game. I have always loved playing Mario Bros. since the first Nintendo came out in the 80's.
My kids grew up on Mario and now I have the Nintendo lite and I love it and play Mario now with my grandkids. I do wish they would resurect the original Mario Bros. for use with the Nintendo lite.
