Game Overview

New Super Mario Bros. est bien la bombe attendue, mais une bombe à retardement. Ce n'est pas une feinte, ça signifie juste que le jeu tarde à dissiper la sensation de déjà-joué pour imposer son propre génie.

The Good

Terrific control, Classic gameplay that still works, Great presentation, Evokes the original games without feeling shameless.

The Bad

Additional modes aren't nearly as interesting as the main game, Some levels seem a little too short.

The Bottom Line

On the heels of Valentine's Day romance is in the air, even in the Mushroom Kingdom. But Princess Peach wasn't able to celebrate with her special someone, seeing that she's been taken prisoner by Bowser and Bowser Jr. Only the Mario Bros. can rescue the princess from her evil captors!

The first new 2D Mario platformer since Super Mario World has arrived. New Super Mario Bros. is loaded with features and characters that could only exist in the Mushroom Kingdom, including all-new power-ups like the Blue Shell, in which Mario can ride, and a massive Mushroom that makes him ultra-huge. New and familiar enemies are everywhere, not to mention mind-blowing challenges made possible by the dual screens of the Nintendo DS. Not only that, but players can link wirelessly with a friend to play as Mario and Luigi in multiplayer mode.

While experienced players might blow through the game quickly, New Super Mario Bros. is still completely awesome and absolutely necessary.

This is the hot game to get for the DS. It's loads of fun, has huge exploration potential and reinvents the 2D side-scrolling platform game. Nintendo has another notch on it's belt to go with all the other notches that the DS seems to have.

Before New Super Mario Bros. entered my life, "Yoshi's Island" was, to me, the greatest platformer ever created. That title may now have to go to New Super Mario Bros.

Game Features

Jump, bounce and power-up through visually stunning side-scrolling worlds with Mushroom Kingdom madness. Mushrooms make Mario ultra-tiny huge, and new items like the Blue Shell (which transforms Mario into a shell that wipes out enemies) will keep players on their toes.
