New bros.
Mario is the most recognised character in gaming history. He’s appeared in over hundred games; many of these games are best sellers from Super Mario to Mario 64. Mario first appeared in Donkey Kong, where he had to save a princess from the King Kong spoof Donkey Kong. Then he appeared in an arcade spoof-off Super Mario Bros. When the SNES came into our homes Super Mario was there, alone it sold 40 million copies and back then they were expensive. This means it’s the best selling game off all time. There was a problem all the new gamers couldn’t play it. So they re-created it onto the DS…
They still have the same cheats in the original and off course they’ve got the two player co-op which works pretty well. To add affect they made the characters look 3D, but it’s a side scrolling 2D game, so it’s 2.5D game. Basically Bowser’s son kidnaps Princess Peach, and takes her through seven worlds. You have to go through and defeat him once in the seven worlds; half way through you meet him. He runs off to a castle that’s always at the end of the world and in that castle Bowser is there, and you have to defeat him once in seven worlds. So 14 times you have to defeat the Bowser family. Sounds easy but the game is long and fun, also with all the extra bonuses you’ll be hooked.
The gameplay for the game is fast. It has the same
that the original has. It actually feels like you’re playing Mario 64, that sort off hype. It does get pretty annoying when you dash through the whole game. The thing that made Super Mario from being perfect was the enemy system. If you were in your normal form and you touch an enemy you’ll die which does get troublesome if you’re trying to get to the other side of the level. This is backed up by the half system. If you go half way through the game there’s a flag, so if you die and have enough lives to go back you’ll be there.
There is the original mushroom and the flower. Mushroom increasing your size and flower giving you fire power. First it’s the mushroom then the flower. If you get hit while you’ve got the flower you go to mushroom stage and if you get hit while you got the mushroom you’re in your normal stage. There are underwater levels as well. The music and sound for this game is perfect and it will keep you entertained for hours. If you’ve seen the screen shots then you’d have seen a giant Mario. This is the yellow mushroom; it automatically makes you big and indestructible. Over all New Super Mario Bros is probably the game of June and had sold 100 thousand copies in its first day.
