T&R is WAY better than Jr, but the touch screen controls can drive any sane man to an asylum. There is the D-pad, too...

Gameplay: The D-pad controls are excellent, second to none. The touch screen controls are poor and unresponsive, and in the party games, you have to use the screen to play, even if it's forced. But more likely than not, your attention will be focused on the main game. There is many a variety of stages, but most of them are just ports from SMB/SMB2. There are new ones, too, but they are either too simplistic or too...well...impossible, but you will get by them eventually. The difficulty varies, so the game requires a large amount of strategy to succeed.

Graphics: The levels are in full 3D, but your monkey is in 2D, making it kind of hard to get used to.

Sound: Wait....that was music? I thought that was a child screaming bloody murder in the background. Oh well. The SFX, however, is the kind that SMB veterans will recognize, but the monkey voices are higher-pitched than in the GCN version(s).

Overall, the game is pretty much the best DS puzzle game around. If you own a DS, or are just a fan of SMB or puzzles, this definitely won't disappoint.
