i liked all the super mario games i've played, but i don't have any emotional attachment to the series. before i started this review, i read some of the bad reviews given by others. a couple of the issues that were mentioned are totally valid - yes, the levels and boss fights seem to repeat themselves visually. yes, a lot of the levels are pretty easy, especially for a hardcore gamer. the thing is, none of this occurred to me until i read it here. that's how fun this game is. yes, there are elements borrowed from previous mario games - but i thought that was acceptable, seeing as how this is presented as a "remix" of the first super mario bros.

anyway, the gameplay is intense and incredibly fun for the most part. the graphics are exciting. the giant mushroom is awesome. the total, mindless destruction that ensues when you are giant mario is blissfully gratifying. that is, unless there are holes large enough for mario grande to fall into. then you have to keep your thinking cap on while you destroy stuff. the water levels are pretty difficult. finding 3 stars for each board is challenging. the mini-games are fun, but once you play them all once they are pretty useless. the sand/desert boards kinda suck. they are the most dumbed down thing i've noticed on this game.

overall, this game is just straight-forward fun for the casual gamer. i think it was worth the money i payed for it.

Good Mario Fun; but a too easy.

First let me explain that this isn't a remake of the original Super Mario Bros. Instead, it's a try into revitalizing the once great Super Mario Bros. series. This game is influenced by Super Mario Bros. with the each stage's gameplay and finish pole. It's influenced by Super Mario Bros. 3 with it's map layout of each world, along with it's toad houses and hammer dudes walking around. It's influenced by Super Mario World with some stage's backgrounds and gameplay elements including the climbing on the fences.

The graphics for this game are very nice. All the characters are rendered in 3d as well as some of the backgrounds. They blend nicely together. No complaints. Mario and Luigi look different from each other this time around. Just as they should.

I didn't pay too much attention to sound, but one thing that did annoy me was what Mario said after finishing each level. Well.. what is sounded like he said was, "Thank you so nice!" which is irritating to hear so many times. The english is so bad, that it's unbearable.

Now onto the lackluster part. The gameplay. The game is easy. Not only that, but they provide you with a crap load of power ups beyond the ones in the stages, making it even easier. If that weren't enough, they also keep 2 out of the 8 worlds as an unlockable secret. But wait, if you're lucky enough, you might also accidentally discover a way to only do 3 worlds before getting to world 8. So, chop the game in less than half and that's it's length. And you're done. It's way too easy and it seems like they don't even want you to play through the game. And then on top of that, there's a lackluster ending. Is there any motivation to complete the other worlds? No! The levels aren't even challenging. I had 50 lives after 3 worlds. Nintendo knows how non-challenging the game is. That's why you can't save when you want, just every time you complete a castle or spend star-coins. And that's annoying. So much for a pick up and play game.

To "spice" things up, each stage has 3 stars-coins to collect, some of which require some thinking, but most are easy. And what do they do, give you powerups to make the game even easier. You don't have to collect the stars, it's pointless. You could collect them only for collecting's sake. There are also red coins to collect. They give you powerups as well for collecting them within the given time limit. It can't get any easier.

This game features 3 power ups not included in any other mario game. First you can grow to super size. They give you this way too often and what does this do, it gives you up to 5 lives, the amount depending on how much destruction you cause. Save those for levels filled with bricks it's easy lives. The 2 other power-ups are worthless. One that makes you really tiny, useless against enemies makes this one just for finding secrets. The problem is that they almost never give this power-up to you in the level where the secrets are at. So you'll have to go find one where there is and play that level to get it. This becomes quickly annoying. The other powerup gives you a turtle shell so you can slide like a turtleshell against enemies. Since the flower is much easier to play with, this powerup goes to help acquire secrets in stages that, also don't provide the powerup. Fetch it boy. This one's rare. Super annoying.

The castle boss battles are also easy. If you get to the boss with fire powerup, which is super easy to do, since you can always carry a spare poweup with you, that you can't lose by dying, and call upon it whenever you need it, the boss becomes very little of a challenge. Even the final boss battle at the end of the game was easy. Sometimes all you need is super mario so that you don't die crossing the bridge to the other side to drop the bridge.

The mini games are recycled from Super Mario 64 DS and so is the multiplayer from every other mario game. So this should last you a bit (sarcasm). Great extras Nintendo! (more sarcasm). It would have been nice if you included the original super mario bros as a nice extra. But what am I thinking, that would've been a good idea.

VERDICT
This game is Disappointing. It's short and easy. It seemed nice in the first world, until it got too repetitive and easy. If you want to play a Mario game better than this, go play super mario advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. The game looks, feels, sounds, and breathes like a super mario game. In fact, the game is fun to play, but its flaws are too much for me and that's why I wouldn't buy it. Otherwise it would be a great game. You know it's easier to find the secret to skipping the game than it is to find the secret to unlock the hidden 1/4. Doesn't that suck.

Awesome Game!!!

I did enjoy this game (I beat it three times already). My friend recently purchased the game on his DS Lite (I have a original DS). My friend and I were playing "Mario Vs. Luigi" and we had a blast. We weren't actually fighting in the mode we where just walking around trying to find secrets and glitches!! I was playing as Luigi and got a Fire Flower... I was really angry, Luigi's Fire Balls were RED!! Why not Green?? Nintendo made a big mistake for a fan of Luigi (like me). But I didn't return the game in oh no never. Playing the real game was fun but too easy I found myself beating the game in less than 4 hrs. . Out of this whole game I would say "Mario Vs. Luigi" is the funnest Mode, Playing the real game adds some backup and was pretty fun!!

fun mario

This game is a lot like Mario the original game, but with other features. Like mario giant and mario mini. Although I was able to comlete it in like 2 days but its fun enough to try it again. The two person mode I didn't understand and got bored of it real quick.

Nice and fun!!
