New Super Mario Bros. (DS)

I have had a great Christmas with Santa bringing amongst everything I wanted (apart for the job - but I am working on that one) In fact Santa brought some things I did not want but now love. One of these being the 'Super Mario Bros' games for my brand new pink Nintendo DS. My first ever console and game was the old Gameboy with 'Super Mario Six Golden Coins' and I loved this game, however when my Gameboy broke I sold the game at a car boot sale....many times I have thought about the game and felt so annoyed that I cannot buy it. After about 5 minutes of playing this game I was hooked...partly because the game is so alike my old game. ...  Read the complete review

Well where do I start. The reason that I wanted a Nintendo DS Lite for christmas was so that i could get this game. I have always wanted to play super mario but as a child me and my brother had a mega drive so we were not able to play the game! This is the first game that I bought when i got the chance. I LOVE this game. I have had loads of hours of fun sat playing this game on my sofa. Sometimes my partner feels a bit left out when im not paying him any attention!! The visual effects are excellent and all the details are very clear. I love the mini games that are available and have been known to have sat for hours playing them as well!! Different ...  Read the complete review

I won't write you a book about it. If you love mario as I do, then you'll love this game. I wasn't sure what to expect since I grew up on super ninentos Super Mario Bros. While they have remade that game for gameboy advance (which you can play on a DS- Rock On!) this game was just as entertaining and challenging (I know I know, not very, but still, way fun!) It was worth the money and I have played it about 3 times ...  Read the complete review

Mario’s newest platforming jaunt is a mixture of the timeless Super Mario Bros. that appeared on the SNES and Super Mario from the N64. At first glance the idea might seem like a quick and easy re-hash of the previous outings, yet the DS version offers just enough to keep the franchise fresh, whilst retaining, and improving on, the fun and frolics of its predecessors. Big bad Bowser’s chronic habit of nabbing Princess Peach away from the Mushroom Kingdom can only mean one thing for the Italian plumber. He will have to traipse his way over eight differently themed worlds and dispense his brand of high-jumping, butt-pounding justice on anyone who stands in his ...  Read the complete review

Games consoles come and go but I pretty much find myself stuck on the latest Nintendo offering for one main reason and that's the fact that you can't get any of the Mario games on any other platform. Racing, fighting, sports-playing or platform chasing; Mario does them all these days and in spite of his relative game playing longevity, his appeal has lost none of its strength. In the absence of compelling new Mario games for the Nintendo Wii, I went out and bought one of those Nintendo DS Lite things. Oh my god. I wish I'd stayed at home. I can barely tear myself away from the damned thing these days. New Super Mario Bros for the DS is pretty much Mario at ...  Read the complete review
