    I really enjoy this game.
    It's very old-school with new good graphics.

    New features like super-size-shrooms and the blu shell is cool but not really something that I really needed in this game.
    It does however makes laught the first time you fill the screen and start slamming through everything.

    Saving seems to be a little silly since I actually have to trigger an event before saving. So I really can't just play one level and then save or something like that, which is one of the drawbacks of this game to me.

    The various minigames that comes with it is fun too but nothing that I've gotten addicted to yet.

    Overall, a great game with few flaws

      NOTE: This review was written by me years ago, but it's never been posted on GB, so enjoy!***************New Super Mario Bros. marks the return of Mario in a brand-new sidescroller, which is reminiscent of classic games such as Super Mario Bros. 1, 3, and Super Mario World. In fact, NSMB is basically a hybrid of the three games, with plenty of evidence to support that fact. NSMB adds its own quirks to the time-tested Mario formula, and while it’s not completely successful, it’s a fun ride while ...
