User Rating: 9.8 | New Super Mario Bros. DS
They're back and better than ever before. The Super Mario Bros. return in their first platformer in 13 years! And what do I have to say about this? It's on par with Super Mario 64. The plot is simple: Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser's son and Mario has to go out and save her. You go through eight worlds and fight against various foes, old and new. Of course, there are new moves for Mario and Luigi to use at their disposal. Of course, there are new power-ups. There's the mega mushroom which makes you King Kong size, and you can go on a rampage and crush anyone in your way. The mini-mushroom, making you Honey, I Shrunk the Kids tiny, making you squeeze through small openings. And the koopa shell, enabling you to dash and go inside the shell, making you the living koopa attack. Of course it isn't going to be that easy like other Mario games...okay it still is, but at least they challenge you in some parts! Of course you still get your classic power-ups from previous Mario titles. New Super Mario is a fun platformer. And stays true to its 2D roots, like its original games. You'll have a blast guaranteed!!!

Good: Classic platforming action.

Bad: I'm thinking....still thinking...
