'''''New Super Mario Bros.''''' is a side-scrolling {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] first released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in the United States on May 15, [[List of games by date#2006|2006]], starring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. It is the tenth entry in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series<ref name=encyclopedia>{{cite|author=Kazuya Sakai (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara ({{wp|Shogakukan}}) (ed.)|title=''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia|Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.]]''|location=Milwaulkie|publisher=[[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse Books]]|date=2018|isbn=978-4-09-106569-8}}</ref> and, not counting re-releases and [[Reissue#Remakes|remakes]], the first side-scrolling platformer in the series to be released since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', 13½ years prior in [[List of games by date#1992|1992]], starting a new revival of the 2D ''Mario'' platformers, succeeding the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless Mario Vs. Luigi mode, and a [[minigame]] mode for up to four players. The multiplayer games support both single-card and multi-card play. Most of the minigames are the same as those featured in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', which are no longer required to be unlocked. The gameplay is based on that of the classic 2D platformers and builds upon them to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. It introduced moves from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' to 2D ''Super Mario'' games for the first time and added several new enemies, bosses, and obstacles to the franchise.

It is also possible to play as Luigi in single player mode by holding down {{button|ds|L}}+{{button|ds|R}}+{{button|ds|A}} when selecting a file. There are no gameplay differences between the brothers. The character is not locked as default - players can choose a different character every time they load the game. After the final boss has been beaten, a star appears next to the Save Game function. When the player has completed all levels, there are two stars next to it. When the player collects and spends all the Star Coins in the game, three stars appear on the save file.

If Mario finishes a level with the last 2 digits of the time limit the same except for 00, the "Course Clear" theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays in place of the normal one. [[Fireworks|Firework]] explosions also occur, the amount of which varies depending on the digits (e.g. 2 explosions for x22, 7 explosions for x77 etc., where "x" represents the first digit displayed on the timer). Consequently, a [[Toad House]] appears on the first space of that specific world (unless there is one there already).

The game features a world map, with alternative and secret paths (like ''[[Super Mario World]]''). Alternate paths can be unlocked with [[Star Coin]]s. There are three in each level, usually adding an extra challenge for the player apart from simply reaching the [[Goal Pole|pole]]. Some Star Coins are in clear sight while others are hidden in [[Warp Pipe|Warp Pipes]], up [[beanstalk|vine]]s, or other inconspicuous places. On the world map, signs block paths that require five Star Coins to open. After a player defeats [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Bowser's Castle]], a new, mysterious [[Toad House|Blue Toad House]] appears just above World 1. It is a market, and for 20 Star Coins, the player can buy a wallpaper for the bottom screen. The fifth and final background is only available after all of the 32 [[Star Coin Sign]]s have been opened. Sometimes [[Hammer Bro]]s. and [[Flying ? Block]]s appear on the map; offering items within the beginning of the level.

The shortest possible path that Mario can take is [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]], [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]], [[World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-Tower]], [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]], [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]], [[World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-Ghost House]], and all of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]].<ref>{{cite|author=MyLittleWalrus|title=New Super Mario Bros.
