This game has a combination of the original mario and the super mario 3. I bought this for my boyfriend and he loved it. I played the orginal mario when I was a kid and enjoyed this game myself. I would definitely recommend it.

I think this game is awesome, I'm a 19-year old player and I've had so much fun playing it. Read below :
Pros:
- The worlds are great
- The mini games are great
- The music and sound are kinda cool !
- Graphis are cool too
Cons :
- In general, this game is kinda short ! But for younger players, you might take a longer while to finish it.
- My touch pad is a little bit screwed up, so I've had problems troughout the game when trying to touch it to get a new item. But if yours is Ok, then go ahead and buy it. This one worths it !!
Just great to play.

My granddaughter is 7 and my grandson is 5 and they plays it every chance they gets they will play their other video games but you can tell that this is by far their favorite. It's fun to play and keeps the interest of children and adults. Very glad I purchased it. I would recommend this highly a little expensive but well worth it. This is a definite must have for all video game player.

The New Super Mario Bros is the greatest game of them all. I used to play this game twenty years ago with the Nintendo box and handheld controls. Later I played the game with just the handheld controls but now with the game chip in the Nintendo DS Lite, it has become the greatest game of them all!
Thank you,

I am definitely not a gamer, but I found this game to be very fun. It has a good mix of mild strategy and reckless improvisation. In general, the more strategy you employ the less frustration you will experience.
At first, you can save not only after Towers and Castles, but also after spending Star coins, so save those coins for when you really need to save after a tough level! Of course, you can always just close the DS lid and put the game to sleep anywhere you want.
The game is not too difficult to "beat," but that is only part of the fun. Once you beat big Bowser in the World 8 Castle you can save the game any time which comes in super handy when you go back to beat all levels. And that is quite a bit more difficult and time consuming since you must go through all 80 levels instead of the minimum 20 to beat the game. Beating all levels then allows infinite access to the Toad Houses which in turn nicely supports your next quest...
Collecting enough Star Coins (160) to unlock the secret background is more of a challenge and getting them all is the ultimate prize. I currently have 225 out of 240, not sure if I will bother with every last one though cuz some are pretty tough and it gets frustrating failing repeatedly on some of the coins.
Even so, the game can be really fun to play in short bursts, and also to sit and strategize on some of the harder secret exits and coins. I would highly recommend getting the very nicely done Nintendo Players Guide and looking at some user walk throughs for tips on some of the less obvious tactics.
My tip for the Item Toad houses: To get what you want hold the right direction key and time your jump based on the dark colored brick. Sooner gets you a super mushroom or fire flower. A little later gets the shell. And jumping at the very end or slightly hesitating nabs the mini mushroom. It's better to jump a little too soon than too late, but with some practice I found I can get what I want 90+% of the time. Don't worry, you'll get lots of practice!
Early on though you can just use Level 1-1 to power up and get 1ups, of course. As Mega Mario you should be able to nab 5 1ups every time if you time it right. And getting a fire flower into reserve is pretty simple too.
Anyway, take some time to explore the different worlds with Mario, Luigi and a lot of nasty critters!
Fun for the whole family

This was a fun game. Not as hard as I thought it would be, but my family enjoyed playing it also. Even my four year old loves to "save the princess".
Super Mario I love you!
