New Super Mario Bros. is a side-scrolling 2.5D action-adventure platformer game for the Nintendo DS, starring Mario and Luigi. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game Mario Vs. Luigi, as well as a minigame mode for up to four players. The gameplay of New Super Mario Bros. is very much like that of the classic 2D platformers, mostly Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, and substantially builds upon them to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. As the game is on DS, the touch screen allows players to store an additional power-up and view the distance still to go in a level.

replayed this with a friend recently and mario vs luigi mode dont fuck around, one of the most intense matchs you can have fighting for your life
A enjoyable platformer that brought Mario back to 2D
An extremely dull, by-the-numbers Mario game. Awful sounding synths used for the music, ugly, dull art direction. Boring, extremely easy levels. Don't play this!
This is easily one of the peaks of the New Super Mario Bros games. New power ups, hidden paths, multiplayer battles, multiplayer mini games, unique boss fights for castles. Sure the level motif of grass, desert, water is stale but it's still such a blast to go through.
I legitimately believe the original New Super Mario Bros. is one of the finest 2D mario has to offer.
Went back through this classic to pick up all of the star coins from scratch. By far the best entry in the New Super Mario Bros series, at least in terms of level creativity, it is unmatched in that regard until Wonder, but I think people really sleep on it in that regard.
I wish there was some post-game content akin to the Wii entry. "All spent" is a pretty unsatisfying reward.
