New Super Mario Bros. Is an all-new 2D-Sidescroller for the DS. The game almost perfectly captures the feel of past 2D Mario Games.
The gameplay stays the same but adds a few things. You kill enimies by jumping on their heads. If you get a super (red with white spots) mushroom, you get bigger. This also acts as a defense in case you get hit. If you do get hit you shrink back to regular size. If you get a mega (big and yellow with red spots) mushroom, you get huge for a short period of time and are invincable. After that period of time you shrink to the size you would be if you got a super mushroom. If you get a a mini (small and blue with white spots) mushroom, you shrink. If you get a fire flower (a red flower) you get the ability to shoot fireballs. If you get hit when you have that, you lose that power and go to how you would be if you got a super Mushroom. The same happens when you get hit when you have a Turtle Shell ( a blue turtle shell.) The special abilities for this are that you can hit down on the d-pad for a shield., and when you dash you start sliding around in the shell and killing any enimies you hit and richochet off any blocks or pipes or walls you hit. The game has eight stages, two of which you needs to unlock by beating a boss a certain way. There are also minigames that range from puzzle games to table games. These can be played with another player. The game also has two player mode where your goal is to collect a certain number of stars.
In conclusion, New Super Mario Bros. is a good game that definatly holds up to the Mario Bros. legacy. I reccomend it.
