    As good as the original

    New Super Mario Bros. runs the same sort of gameplay as the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES with an obvious graphical upgrade and some new abilities for Mario as well.  The game adds a few of the abilities that Mario has learned over the years in his various games (double/triple jump, butt stomp, etc).  There is also some new items to grab.  Tiny and large mushrooms that have an equal effect on Mario.  The gameplay and controls are just as good as they were 20+ years ago.  If you like platformers or you liked the original 2D Mario games, this is a great game to wet your whistle on.

      NOTE: This review was written by me years ago, but it's never been posted on GB, so enjoy!***************New Super Mario Bros. marks the return of Mario in a brand-new sidescroller, which is reminiscent of classic games such as Super Mario Bros. 1, 3, and Super Mario World. In fact, NSMB is basically a hybrid of the three games, with plenty of evidence to support that fact. NSMB adds its own quirks to the time-tested Mario formula, and while it’s not completely successful, it’s a fun ride while ...
