New Super Mario brings the series back to his 2D side scrolling roots. Anyone who has played any of the NES or SNES Mario titles will be able to jump right in and run, jump, and stomp Goomba's as the Plumber in red on his quest to rescue Princess Peach.

Gameplay: Classic Mario style 2D platforming action with new power-ups and levels. 10 out of 10

Graphics: Same classic art style with a new 3D look. Great character designs. Levels have lots of detail. Everything you would want in a Mario game. 9 out of 10

Sound: Old school Mario tunes and sounds mixed with new songs, sounds, and voice overs. 8 out of 10

Value: Nintendo has managed to give fans exactly what they needed. they have released a brand new Mario adventure. Aside form the main quest there are plenty of extras to collect, a new Multiplayer mode, and a collection of mini games to check out. All around this is a solid package. Anyone who enjoys Mario games or 2D platformers in general will definitely enjoy this game. 9 out of 10

Overall, New Super Mario Brothers is really about bringing Mario back to what Mario does best, Running, Jumping and Saving the Princess.
