I would buy a DS just for this game alone.

Need a break from the current MMO your playing? Buy this game.

Its just flat out a fun game to play. Nice, colorful, and relaxing. What more can you ask for? Its like going to a old movie only to find out it got better with age.

The gameplay as with the old SMB is outstanding. The graphics are eye catching and sound...well you already know what SMB sounds like or you've been living under a rock for the past 25 years.

But you should give the direction book a once over because Mario has a few new moves you can perform. Other then that it flows like a fine wine.

This game is pure magic.
