Hybrid of everything good about Mario

User Rating: 9.7 | New Super Mario Bros. DS
I would best describe this game as a hybrid of the first Super Mario, Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World with some new power ups it's like SMB with the flag poles at the end of every level and the way you fight Bowser at time's and a lot of levels will remind you of SMB1 and the map is much like the one in SMB3 with the mushroom houses and the kinda of maps there are as for it being like Super Mario World there's more then one way to beat a level opening up more then one path and Ghost houses and such.

But even with it being like a lot of the old one's it sill feels new with the 3d graphics and new power ups and some new enemies and bosses. I would also say the mini game mode is much like the one for Super Mario 64 DS in fact some of the same mini games return in this one as for the 2 player vs mode I was kinda disappointed it was'nt WI-FI but the 2 player mode is awsome kinda feels like a cross between smash bros and the old super mario mini game with the pow block as far as for the 2 to 4 player mini games there's a nice twist on some of the old mini games from the SM64DS also with some new games makes this mode nice. If you like the old Mario games this games for you there's a lot of memorable characters,situations and enemies If you like Mario
new or old this is your game It is a great game so I would even recommend it to new comers.
