Traditional Mario

User Rating: 9.3 | New Super Mario Bros. DS
I bought this game mainly because I have only played 2D Marios but never owned them. The game opens with Mario and Princess Peach walking through the mushroom kingdom when sudenly the castle is hit by a bolt of lightning and Mario runs off investigating and while he is gone surprise suprise Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser junior (cant she look after herself) .

This opening leads to a great chase across the mushroom kingdom involving goigng through desersts, ice realms, tropical islands e.g. The game plays like how 2D Mario should be played A is jump and X is dash/attack. The graphics are bright and crisp with superb animations and details. The audio has great Mario tunes and the coin collecting ring.

There is also a multiplayer involving collecting coins and a fair few maps and also minigames which are a fun distraction.

The New Super Mario Brothers is an exellent title that will appeal to fans and non-fans of the series and will make any DS owner feel proud.
