New Super Mario Bros | Game Review

Posted by admin in August 16th, 2008

What’s your favorite game of all time? For me, it’s Mario Bros, and I’m sure a lot of people agree with me. Well, a week ago, my brother came and he lent me his Nintendo DS (NDS) with a game that makes me very excited, New Super Mario Bros! This game was released 2 years ago.. arrgghh.. how come I’ve never knew about this game before?

As I played the game, I must say to you that I love this game, very much. It reminds me of the old times when I played Mario Bros on the classic Nintendo, and much better! You’ll still need just two buttons, one button to jump and the other button to run or shoot the flower seeds when Mario has got the flower.

The story is still the same, Mario must save the princess who is kidnapped by the bad turtle, … what’s its name? And Mario must travel from world to world to save the princess. On the journey, Mario will face his enemies, the crab, the duck, fish, porcupine, all his old enemies are back. Jump on them to eliminate them, well not all of them because you can’t jump on the porcupines

There’s also a new mushroom that can make Mario become a giant, for a short period of time, just like the star that can make Mario invulnerable to his enemies for a short time. When Mario becomes a giant, he destroys everything that blocks his way. Just look at the screenshot below. Isn’t it interesting? And Mario can destroy the blocks from above now. Just jump and hold down the down arrow, and Mario will destroy all the blocks below him. Mario can also jump between two walls to get to the top of the walls.

Get 100 coins and you get a new life. There are many secrets, as usual, in all of the levels. You can go back to any world or any level you like to seek for all the secrets. If you want to move fast, you can finish the game quickly too.

If you have an NDS, and you want a very fun game, you must have this game. In fact, I recommend every Mario game out there Mario is the best!
