Gameplay
Controls
Mario, near the goal of World 1-1. The gameplay of New Super Mario Bros. is identical much like that of the classic 2D platformers, by and large Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, and well builds upon them to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. One of the two control modes can be selected in the Options menu : jump with 
/ 
and dashing with 
/ 
, or jumping with / and dashing with /. Mario is controlled with the 
, and the Touch Screen is only required to activate the store token, which is used similarly to stored items in Super Mario World. When Mario enters a pipe to a unavowed area, the top screen and the touch screen are switched, and the gameplay continues on the refer screen until Mario exits that area. During that period the store item can not be activated .
Moves and items
The Wall Jump makes its first appearance in a 2D game since being introduced to 3D Mario games starting with Super Mario 64. In contrast to the 3D games, Mario has to slide down a wall for a small come of clock time before being able to jump. This technique lets Mario or Luigi reach new areas by bouncing off the side of any wall or vertical object, and is utilitarian for escaping from a fall down a pit. Mario has the ability to Ground Pound by pressing down when he is in the air, allowing him to crush blocks under him. There are many new power-ups, like the Blue Shell that lets Mario or Luigi to travel like a kick Koopa shell, the Mega Mushroom that makes Mario grow about three to five times his size ( similarly to the mushroom seen in Super Mario 64 DS ), and the Mini Mushroom which causes Mario or Luigi to shrink to about half of Small Mario ‘s size, allowing him to fit through bantam pipes and passages, jump higher and longer, and dash across the clear of water. however, some items remain unchanged, such as the Super Mushroom, the Starman, and the Fire Flower. As in the western release of Super Mario Bros. 3 and most belated games, Mario or Luigi does not exponent down to Small mannequin if he is powered up with a Fire Flower or Blue Koopa Shell when he takes price ; he rather reverts to Super Mario, unlike in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World .
A text box for the obscure Challenge Mode. Another privy is Challenge Mode. This means the player can not scroll the television camera to the left or down like in Super Mario Bros. It is entirely available when the actor has completed the crippled. To unlock it, the player should go to the map screen ( any universe ) and weight-lift 
, then press 
, 
, ,, ,, ,. It will besides show an arrow pointing right on the worldly concern function and levels touch screen. This means that Mario can not turn back in all the courses ( including towers ), which adds the feel of the master game evening more. It is besides possible to play as Luigi in single player manner by holding down ++ when selecting a file. There are no gameplay differences between the brothers. The character does not get locked as default – players can choose a different character every time they load the game. After the final party boss has been beaten, a leading appears future to the Save Game function. When the musician has completed all levels, there are two stars next to it. When the player collects and spends all the Star Coins in the game, there will be three stars on the deliver file. Within the levels, whenever the music plays a vocal music riff “ bah bah ” ( or in the case of the submerged levels, bell trees ), some enemies and power-ups move to the beat. This includes the Overworld, Athletic, Underground, Desert, Beach and Volcano themes. Examples of enemy/object movements include Goombas hop, Koopa Troopas call on to face the player, Spinies switch commission, power-ups hop and Cheep-Cheeps do side flips. Goombas can actually dodge a Koopa Shell with the hop. This besides happens in every other bet on in the New Super Mario Bros. credit line. If Mario finishes a degree with the last 2 numbers of the clock time limit the lapp except for 00, the “ path net ” theme from Super Mario Bros. plays in place of the normal one. Fireworks besides occur, appearing the amount the numbers specify ( e.g. 2 blasts for x22, 7 blasts for x77 ). A Toad House will besides appear on the first quad of that specific earth ( unless there is one there already ) .
Worlds and levels
Mario in World 1 The game features a world map, with option and secret paths ( like Super Mario World ). Alternate paths can be unlocked with Star Coins. There are three in each level, normally adding an extra challenge for the player apart from merely reaching the range pole. Some leading Coins are in clear sight while others are hidden in Warp Pipes, up Beanstalks, or other inconspicuous places. On the world map, signs block paths that require five Star Coins to open. After a player defeats Bowser and Bowser Jr. in Bowser ‘s Castle, a newly, cryptic Blue Toad House will appear good above World 1. It is a market, and for 20 Star Coins, the player can buy a wallpaper for the bottom screen. The fifth and final background is alone available after all of the 32 Star Coin Signs have been opened. sometimes Hammer Bros. and Flying ? Blocks appear on the map ; offering items within the begin of the flat. Mario or Luigi only has to go through 3 of the eight worlds — using the World 1 carom to go to World 5, and World 5 carom to World 8. After World 2, Mario gets to either of World 3 or World 4, and the earth following both of those is World 5. After World 5, Mario can get to either World 6 or 7 in the same fashion. Mario or Luigi must defeat the World 2 or World 5 bosses in Mini Mario form to alternatively reach World 4 and World 7, respectively .

Mario Vs. Luigi
In this two-player mode, Mario and Luigi compete for a number of boastfully stars. Those stars will appear at random in the side-scrolling stages. The stages are wrapped, so players that cross the end of each of those stages loop to the begin. When Mario or Luigi are hit by enemies, hit each other, stomp on each other, or are defeated, they lose a star, which can then be again collected by any of the brothers. Getting ground-pounded causes a brother to lose three large stars. The first brother to reach the previously set come of stars wins the game. When a brother collects eight coins, a random power up will appear – Mushroom, Fire Flower, Blue Shell, Mini Mushroom, Starman, or Mega Mushroom ( which merely is given to the losing player ). When a brother has a certain total of victories, he wins the match. The follow stages can be played :
- Grass[5] – A stage that is much like World 1-1 of the single-player game, a meadow near Peach’s Castle. It also based off of World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. and has many elements of it. This stage is a relatively simple stage with only Goombas and one Koopa Troopa.
- Bricks[5] – An underground stage much like World 1-2 of the single-player game. It has many walls of blocks and has several holes. The stage is very short. Mario/Luigi should be very careful if they get a Mega Mushroom in this stage, as they can easily crush through the bricks and fall through the floor.
- Ice[5] – A slippery stage that resembles levels found in World 5. Bullet Bills are hazards in this stage. There is a spin block which can be used to access higher Big Stars as well as coins. There are Blue Koopa Troopas in this level; jumping on it will reduce it to being a Blue Shell which can be used.
- Pipes[5] – A pipe world that resembles a level in World 7, it contains many Warp Pipes and Piranha Plants.
- Fortress[5] – The most hazardous level, resembling most castle levels in the game. It contains Bob-ombs and moving walls which can crush Mario and Luigi, among other dangers.

9.5/10
Admittedly there aren’t as many gameplay innovations in New Super Mario Bros. as compared to previous Super Mario releases, but that’s mostly due to the fact that much of platforming’s innovations are related to 3D designs. But that said, this Nintendo DS release still proves that Nintendo still has some great ideas brewing for its plumber in his classic setting. There’s an incredible amount of fresh, fun challenge to uncover in this revival.

9/10
Fitting, then, that Nintendo saved some of his finest moments for this diminutive game-card – which, along with the emergence of DS and Wii, some have marked as a bookend to a period of dynastic chaos. The balance could yet shift again. But New Super Mario Bros., with its faultless controls, effortless variety and deceptive simplicity, argues that while market ratios can sweep back and forth and erupt and diminish in unexpected ways, the balance of ideas can always be relied upon to settle in one place: in the welcoming arms of a friendly little company from Kyoto called Nintendo.

9/10
Let’s face it, 15 years is a long time to wait for a new 2-D Super Mario Bros. game, but the wait was obviously well worth it. Nintendo has managed to take everything great and fun from the previous Super Mario Bros. games, roll it all together, add a fresh coat of paint onto the whole thing and come out with one of the best platformers we’ve seen released in years, not to mention a game easily worthy of the Super Mario Bros. name. This could be the best Nintendo DS game to date, and one that should have no trouble doing what its’ predecessors did, and that’s selling a lot of Nintendo game systems.

Jeff Gerstmann,

9/10
With its ability to recall the older games without leaning too heavily on its famous name, New Super Mario Bros. is an essential new classic that lives up to the legacy of the series quite well. If you’re looking for a quality DS game, look no further.
