Update: May 24, 2006 «©NCSX» Although the 2D New Super Mario Bros looks familiar and somewhat similar to earlier Super Mario Bros games, Nintendo boasts brand new levels and moves for the two plumbers to master. The storyline is age-old however - Princess Peach is kidnapped by Bowser once again and Mario has to scale great adversity to rescue her. The usual assortment of enemies return such as Koopas, Goombas, and others. We're enjoying the game this morning with its old school flavor and game play infused with just enough new Mario technique to keep things engrossing. When Mario nabs a blooming mega mushroom, he transforms into an imposing Gigantor version of himself who barrels through a level with hurricane force. Pipes, bricks, and anything else in his way is blown back like matchsticks. A mini mushroom changes Mario into a mite which is dwarfed even by a plain old Goomba. In addition to the main Mario game, there's also Mario vs Luigi challenges for 2-players and 26 mini-games to enjoy. NCS Game Notes » The Japanese version of New Super Mario Bros. is packaged in a banana yellow NDS game case instead of the regulation issue black case.
