New Super Mario Bros.

Old School Mario returns and reminds us just how much fun 2D platformers used to be!

Mario and 2D Platformer fans can rejoice, the wait is over and the "New Super Mario Bros." game delivers. Not since SMB3 have I had this much 2D fun! Forget bad camera angles, camera clipping, etc...bugs like that just won't happen in the 2d world. We are left with a wonderful addition to the mario library and it looks great even on the small DS screen(s).

Players will experience retro-gaming from SMB1 to SMB3, the new power-up that makes you huge is fun and really allows you to take out those frustrating baddies.

All around, this game is great, highly recommended unless you just plain hate 2D platformers
