It sounds the same, makes you think the same, but its a whole new experience.

This game brings TONS of old memories along the way, not map-wise, but the fact its mario and its a side-scroller. Mario has gotten a whole new 3D look, which looks pretty darn good i might add :). The game is the same old, with direction pad and using mostly 2 of the other buttons. It doesnt invole much touch-screen, so to some of ya its a good thing (i guess).
It def. shows a good deal of fun and lasting enjoyment. you'd be playing so much w/o realising its actually "from a Super Mario Bros." A few new features made the game really interesting, makes the bosses however, a little too easy.
If you're looking for a somewhat ~brings back the memories~ game, with a new twist and is a Mario fan, this is a MUST GET game for ya~!
