The best of the Super Mario Bros games yet! A great blend of 2D and 3D makes the gameplay ever more exciting. It has its traditional sidescrolling gameplay that fans of the classic will love . The game has not used all of the DS's features, only mildly using the touch screen, but once you get into the game it really dosen't matter. It follows the classic storyline of Bowser kidnapping the Princess and Mario having to chase after and save her. There are 8 worlds but at first you can only get to 1,2,3,5,6 then 8. You have to complete certain levels in certain ways ( I'm not giving away anything ) to unlock the other worlds and new levels. In each level there are 3 star coins, sometimes hidden and sometimes put in dangerous place where you have to risk lives. Once you have collected 5 star coins you can open up a pathway to a bonus that may be a powerup, extra life or mega mushroom. The game can be completed in a very short time but this takes away the fun i find as you spend more time concentrating on completing than enjoying the scenary. The game also has multiplayer ( No Wi - Fi ) where you can have a battle as you race to get the stars or you can play the mini games together. The mini games are fun and most can be found in Super Mario 64 DS.
Overall the game is quallity and is one of the best games you could buy for your DS.
