Hey, I’m Phantos67, and I rate my Reviews on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest rating. I hope you enjoy my Review and find it useful if you are thinking of buying this game.

Name: New Super Mario Bros.
Rating: E
Game Price: About $30.00

Story: 6.5
As usual Princess Peach has been captured and Mario must go and save her and the Mushroom Kingdom. It is basically the same story every time the game is called Super Mario Bros, except this time Bowser Junior kidnapped her.

Gameplay: 8
Two of the worlds are hidden and can only be accessed by being shot out of a warp cannon or finding the secret in a boss battle (beating them with a Mini Mushroom). You can only play as Mario so I took off a point for that too.

Controls: 9
These were a little hard to get the hang of at first, but you could change the controls around in the options menu.

Graphics: 10!
Every character is 3D in a 2D land with nice scenery. The graphics were great; when you go through shallow water you can make a little wave, which is what I noticed the most.

Moves: 8.5
Most of the moves were copied from Super Mario 64, including the backflip and wall jump. I had to give it an 8.5 because the way they did it was realistic.

Music: 4
I think the music stunk. For almost every outside level they used this annoying little tune that the Goombas jumped to. They copied the underground music from previous games, but I did like the castle and fortress music.

Items: 9.5
There weren’t that many items, but they were still good. The new items were Mega Mushroom, Blue Shell, and the Mini Mushroom.

Enemies: 7
Most of them were copied from other games, like Spike Top and the infamous Lakitu. They did have some new foes, like Broozer, Cheep Chomp, Squiggler, and some others.

Bosses: 6
The bosses were VERY easy.  Most of them only required you to jump on them 3 times. They were pretty creative with them, though. Bowser is the first boss in the game, which caught me off-guard. Overall the bosses just weren’t that hard.

Toad Houses: 9
Ok, this doesn’t need to be rated, but I am anyways. They have red houses that have a random item there. Green houses offer a chance to get extra lives. An orange house always has a Mega Mushroom, but nothing else. There is a secret Toad House once you beat the game, but that’s IF you beat the game.

Replayability: 8
You can replay the levels anytime you want, only you can’t get the Star Coins (valuable coins of which there are only three in each level) again once you have collected them already.

Addictive Level: 9
This game is VERY addictive. You can’t save the game unless you beat a fortress or castle or you spend five of your Star Coins. What is the deal with that?! They are forcing you to keep playing or lose your data. I think they could have made it easier to save the game than this.

Level of Difficulty: 7.5
They had some tricky spots in there, but I finished the game in a little less than a week! That’s only because I wasn’t allowed to play it longer during those days. The last few castles were the only things I found difficult.

Minigames: 8.5
Most of them were copied from Super Mario 64 DS, but they were still fun.

Fun Factor!: 8
It is a good game for you to play if you are a Mario fan, but other than that… I just think you should borrow it from a friend for a while. Still, it’s a good game for Mario fans to play.
