New Super Mario Bros DS review!

Format: Nintendo DS or DS Lite
Price: £29.99
Company: Nintendo
Players: 1 or 2 via link up

New Super Mario Bros is the next game in the popular Super Mario Bros series from Nintendo.

Usual Super Mario gameplay on offer here, you as Mario or Luigi traverse 8 worlds of platform action to save Princess Peach from the evil Bowser Koopa.

There are some new features though, including Mega Mario, where you become a Giant Mario and can stomp on baddies, collect coins etc...

Graphics and sound wise the game stays true to Super Mario Bros's 2D origins, and makes full use of the DS's audio capabilities as well.

Overall, if you're a fan of old school platform japes (and who isn't?) I heartily recommend New Super Mario Bros to you.

Final score: 96%
