Mario chases after girl

User Rating: 9.1 | New Super Mario Bros. DS
A long time ago i bought the original gameboy. It came with two games: tetris and mario bros. When i played mario bros i was not very good at it. It took me a lot of practice and perseverance to finish the game. Now, many years later nothing has changed. I am still not very good at mario bros. This is not an easy platformer like the Donkey Kong games or Castlevania. With Mario i'm always moving left, right , falling of the screen, bumping into koopa's and starting again. Fortunately this time around you can save your game, so you don't have to start all over again. The game is also much bigger and the levels are very diverse. The levels are divided in 8 different "worlds", which is kinda like the lord of the rings trilogy; you start of in a hilly green homeworld and venture through mountains, icy peaks, caves etc to end the journey in a volcanic scorched world where you have to destroy evil, that being Bowser and rescue the princess. Also there are special coins to collect in each level and bonuslevels to unlock, so there's a lot of replay value. The game can save up to 3 files, so you can let other people play the game too. Anybody can enjoy this game, maybe because it isn't easy, it's a challenge and a true videogame.
