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.

The "New" Super Mario Bros.

Well, to start:

Nintendo accidentally called it "New Super Mario Bros." What they really meant was, "New Levels, Old Super Mario Stuff."

The only new things in this game are the minigames and the levels. The overall gameplay would've been better on the Super Nintendo with Super Mario World.

There are a couple of new songs, but the a lot of the music (i.e. underground, invincible, mushroom houses) are simply the exact same music from Super Mario All-Stars on the Super NES and Super Mario 64. Even the Mega Mushroom and the Micro Mushroom were taken from Mario 64 and placed into this game. There are no new characters, simply less characters.

Toad, the little mushroom man, has been replaced with Toadsworth from Mario Party.

Yoshi is completely missing (Besides in the minigames).

Bowser only makes 2 appearances... the first being the boss battles from Super Mario Bros (NES), the second being exactly the same as the first, except for the fact that he is a skeleton and Bowser Jr. is present.

The feature of carring around an extra power-up (From Super Mario World) is present, only you have to touch it on the touch screen rather than pressing "select," either wasting time pulling out your stylus or getting the corner of your screen greasy. Not a big deal. But touching the touch screen with anything besides a Nintendo approved stylus can cause scratching.

On the subject of power-ups, there are simply too many. They can get confusing and some Star Coins and second exits require the Micro Mushroom which is tedious and timely to acquire, and takes even longer to get one into your inventory for a safe travel through the level you need it on. The invincible star lasts about five seconds, and when using it, you hold down the "run" button, and you accelerate to maximum speed, completeley skipping normal running speed. (i.e. 1 is walking, 2 is tapping the run button, 3 is normal running, and 8 is running with the star. it goes like this: 1-2-8.)
The Blue Shell power-up is helpful if you are lacking in talent or if you simply want to hold one button for three minutes and watch the level go by.
The Mega Mushroom is as it would normally be in Super Mario 64, the only difference is that you can only move in 3 directions: left, right, and up.

After you beat the game, you feel the need to go through and collect all three Star Coins from every single level, unlock worlds 4 and 7 (which require beating worlds 2 and 5's bosses with Micro Mushrooms), and opening all the second exits. After that, all you really want to do is play the watered down version of 5-hand poker in the minigames section.

All-in-all, its a pancake of Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64 with new levels and minigames. I wish I would've rented it instead of paying $35 for it at GameStop.

This game is extremly easy if you ever beat would 7. It the moment my record for beating Bowser is 14 times in a row. But, I wish you could play as other people (besides Luige). That would make the game more fun. The music is good, too. I still do not see why my mom hates it!

Great Gift!

I purchased Super Mario Bros along with the DS Lite as a wedding gift for my husband and he could not be happier. He can't get enough of this game and he hardly put it down during our honeymoon!

A good addition to SMB line

I expected a little more out of this game, especially with them pushing the mega Mario buff. Unfortunately, I found that you just were not able to use the item as much as you would like.

very challengine

I love this game! It is such a balanced mix of the ol' retro Mario games my parents grew up with and new, better graphics and more to the game. It is the same story: Princess Peach gets captured by Bowser Jr.-oh, what a feind!-and your goal is to rescue Peach by beating eight worlds, with a boss at each end. Oh, two worlds have to be unlocked, but if you go on gaming websites, you can find cheats that tell how to do this, PLUS a cheat almost every one of us who has the game knows: how to play as Luigi. An overall great game, if you like action games, get this for your DS. Good luck playing the white and nerdy DS freak that I am!

Very fun!

This game I can keep going and going, really fun and it looks like it will never end because it's a very long game. The longer the more fun you will have.
