  • New Super Mario Bros.: - Tonight We Party Like it's 1985!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 21 '06
    Pros: Graphics, Level Design, World Themes, Classic Mario Action
    Cons: Music, Lack of Interesting Power-Ups, Doesn't Feel Like a New Mario Title

    Summary: One of the first games shown for the Nintendo DS handheld was a new Super Mario Bros. title. Unlike the more recent handheld editions, this was a completely new game, and it looked to return the series to it's roots, but with a completely polygonal art ... read more

    Mar 27 '13
    Pros: Good variety of gameplay; classic Mario features; some decent new features.
    Cons: Main game perhaps a little too easy; some Minigames not very successful.

    Pros: Old school, 2D Mario!
    Cons: Short

    Summary: Hey, you know what we haven't seen in a very long time? That old, classic Super Mario Bros. 2D gameplay. Well, Nintendo has brought Mario back to his old-school roots, and it's as good as ever.  Yes, New Super Mario Bros. is a throwback to the ... read more

    Pros: Doesn't mess with what works, updated graphics look gorgeous.
    Cons: It's all been done before.

    Summary: Who can possibly forget what it felt like the first time they played a videogame?  For me it started with the little red plumber, and his ability to jump on his enemies.  Being only 5 years old I found this to be the coolest thing in the world, ... read more

  • New Super Mario Brothers: New and Improved or Old and Recycled?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 24 '09
    Pros: tried and true gameplay, neat minigames, great graphics and sound
    Cons: could have been even better, content seems a little too recycled

    Summary: Like most people my age, I grew up on Super Mario Brothers. It’s a series that has undergone a huge transformation the last dozen years. My daughter is a big gamer, but she is not that big into the older consoles which made these games so famous. I often ... read more

    Cons: low difficulty at times, can’t save at will

    Jan 31 '08
    Pros: Tons of fun!
    Cons: Nothing.

    Summary: The New Super Mario Bros. game has some radical new features that IMO make it the best Mario Bros. game ever. The first thing you notice as you take off running in World 1-1 is the graphics. The graphics slam into your eyes with a splash of crisp, clear ... read more

    Cons: A little short

    Mar 08 '07
    Pros: nice graphics, mini games galore, can play as different characters
    Cons: control can be clunky, have to "unlock" mini games

    Cons: No analog stick for the first game to really use it.

    Summary: I got Super Mario 64 DS when I found it used and wanted to give it a try. Now for those who have never heard of the original Super Mario 64 (and I want to see the rock you’ve been calling home for the past 10 years) it was the launch game and killer ... read more

    Nov 04 '06
    Pros: Ability to be 4 characters. 30 more stars than Nintendo 64. Many "mini-games."
    Cons: Simplified version of Nintendo 64 version. Very hard to control without joystick.
