Gameplay- Gameplay has never been a problem with Mario games and thats not changing with New Super Mario bros. They are still intuitive and very simple. The same powerups are here as well, like fire flower, super mushroom, and such, but there are also new ones as well. Like the Mega Mushroom which turns Mario into a hugely Mario which can pretty much ram through anything and the blue shell which then you can do a shell dash and kill enemies. You move around on a gameboard type thing like in Super Mario Bros. 3 and to get to certain spots on the voard you have to collect star coins which are coins that you can collect in courses, and they arent always easy to get.Yep really awesome controls as you will always find in a Mario game( except Partners in Time, you can read that review to if you want)

Graphics- Theres nothing like the excellent fusion between 3D and 2D and I think Mario was the bestr idea to do it on. Awesome graphics, very pleasing to the eye. Mario and the other characters in the game are polygonal and the backgrounds and block and stuff are 2D, believe me its really cool.

Sound- While all the familiar tunes are back, there is also a vast variety of new music as well which gives the levels atmosphere and there pretty fun to listen to. All the familiar sound effects are here like the usual ching noise when you grab a coin and the boing noise when Mario jumps. It all makes it seem very much the same as any other Mario but this game is very good for old fans and newcomers alike.

Value- You will get plenty out of this cartridge. With a lengthy single player and tons of fun mini games, you cant go wrong with this one.
