Topic: New 'New Super Mario Bros.' Thread

@Brutus

I enjoyed SML2, I just have very strict standards for Mario games. I was much happier when they decided to end the SML series and introduce the Wario Land games--none of the SML games really felt like genuine Mario titles anyhow, so to me it made sense to finally split from that and create something original.

I'm playing through Super Mario Land right now to review it for the Retro section and I had forgotten how easy and short the game was. I was hitting my stride and then it was over. But I still remember how impressive it was the first time I played it when I got my original GameBoy. But Super Mario Land 2 just blew it away. In fact Super Mario Land 2 might not be quite as good as a Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3, but I wouldn't put it far off either.

You know in order of when they came out, New Super Mario Bros. Wii would be SMB 13. I wouldn't put much stock into that pot.

It really is him! I quite like the fact that he handles the same, like in SMB & SMB3.

@Mama Luigi
I like Yoshi's Story, but it's not worth 1000pts. Definitely get Donkey Kong Country 2 though.

@Chicken Brutus
I'd describe NSMB as 'tricky' in parts, which I think is just about right for a 2D platformer.

I love how there are minigames you can play with your friends with a single cartridge, and the game itself is really superb. And if you really want to play as Luigi, you can press L & R and select the file, and you dont have to complete the game to use it. Glad it was my first DS game.
