It's been a long time since the first Super Mario Bros. In fact, the series has been around longer than I have. There are many positive things to say about this game. It is easily learnable, and isn't too demanding of your time, as a portable game shouldn't. Also, it has many new power-ups, such as the mushrooms that either make you either REALLY huge or REALLY small. However, the use of these new power-ups isn't fully utilized in the later levels, as you'll find you get stuck alot as big Mario, or killed alot as mini Mario. Also, the save points are rather far apart, and you can only use them once. They also only appear only when you either complete a fortress or spend your coins. Another fault of the game is that the game can get a little frustrating as that annoying koopa kills you for the fifth time in a row. Lastly, many of the levels feel repetitive and you wonder why you shouldn't just go buy the original. All in all, it's enjoyable, but it's no Super Mario Galaxy.
