The truth behind this game...
GAME PLAY - It has almost all its stuff squared on 2 different buttons the hole game, the touch pad is included to grab extra and stored items and also in the mini games... It has new features as expected like turning into a shell creature, fire flower as always, big Mario, small Mario, super stars... and just a few other things that makes the game a perfect match of fun, speed, and combos.
GRAPHICS - The graphics are fairly good for a DS game id say for Mario games one of there better one also seeing as how even though a 2d game it gives Mario himself a 3d feel, actually a bit strange.
SOUND - LOL a great mix of tunes threw out the game, some are even funny cause the creatures will dance to them for the first couple seconds or so if you look closely enough... Great fun!
VALUE - For everything that you get with this little game its value is by far the best if bought so far weather its my, your, favorite game or not its an amazing value.
TILT - Trust me theres a lot of that, keeping it interesting the hole experience... Its funny before i even beat the game i went back to play threw some of the older levels and worlds just because its that fun. A must have really.
RECOMMENDATION - Anyone who likes Mario games obviously. Anyone who likes a new feel to the old games we have been playing for years now... Thats why they call it (New super Mario bros.) To be more specific though someone who's literally looking for just another one of those endless hours of fun kind of games.
