Super Mario (DS)

I absolutley loved this game! It has everything that made the old school Mario brilliant, with the added bonus that when you die you don't lose all your progress (unlike on the old Gameboy version) and you can go back to levels to collect coins and things for extra lives. There are a couple of other good new things I liked such as the giant Mario. While the game does not take full advantage of the DS touch screen I think this is better because it makes it more like playing on the old Gameboy. I imagine quite a lot of people will want this game for retro value and if thats the case it's well worth it. As usual with DS games graphics aren't great etc but when ...  Read the complete review

As a massive fan of the 'old school' Mario on the 64 and (this shows my age) the SNES, I had high hopes for the DS version. They've made some great changes (including the Giant SuperSize Mario!) whilst keeping the original story line and characters in tact!

I worked through the game pretty quickly although some of the levels are really tricky it was a fun play and one you can go back to time and time again without getting bored or finding it repeatative.

Overall the game is fantastic and I would recommend it for any old school gamers out there who wants retro with a twist! Perfect for all ages and a brilliant idea for B'day or christmas presents. If you loved this I also recommmend Mario Kart - another classic which will keep you entertained for hours!

The success of super mario has been carried onto the new consoles Nintendo has released, with so many improvements to the quality of the game and new challenges.

The buttons on the side of the DS are used to move, jump, duck, run and attack, which does help to master the controls more quickly and take some of the burden off the stylus. The number of stars you can collect ...  Read the complete review

The first game i got for my DS as it came free i do enjoy the Mario games and this one did not spoil the run, Mario has to save the princess again after she gets kidnapped. This time mario has three new power ups different to other Mario games the best of these is giant Mario you can smash your way through the levels my stomping or sitting on your enemies. This game is great fun as not only do you get the main game there are lots of mini games available to play as well, which has kept me playing this game for years. Me and my friends constantly try and beat each others high scores it never fails to entertain me and can pick it up when ever to play for 10 minutes or ...  Read the complete review
