'''''New Super Mario Bros.''''' is a side-scrolling platformer game exclusive to the [[Nintendo DS]], starring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game Mario vs. Luigi, as well as a mini-game mode for up to four players. And players can access Luigi as a story mode (1 player) character if they press L and R and select a file at the same time. The multiplayer games support both single-card and multi-card play. The mini-games are mostly the same as those featured in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', with the difference that they do not need to be unlocked here.  The game received a sequel, which is ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

==Story==
[[Image:NSMBintro.png|thumb|Bowser Jr., about to steal Peach.]]
[[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] were walking together around [[Peach's Castle]], when a mysterious thundercloud (possibly [[Lakithunder]]) appeared, and struck the castle with lightning. Mario went to investigate, and while he was there, [[Bowser Jr.]] sneaked up behind a bush and kidnapped Peach. Mario followed, and Bowser Jr. dragged her behind him through eight different worlds. 

[[Image:BowserJr and Bowser.jpg|thumb|150px||left|Bowser and Bowser Jr., on the final boss fight.]]
The end of the first world has Bowser as its boss, unusually.  Even more surprising, after Mario presses a switch that destroys the floor and Bowser falls into the pit of lava, the king's flesh is burned off and he becomes a [[Dry Bones]]-like version of himself (Known as [[Dry Bowser]]).  Later, at World 8, Mario has to face this undead version of Bowser as the penultimate boss in the game. Dry Bowser falls into a pit, but Bowser Jr. somehow finds his father's bones, and he revives him by tossing his remains into a bubbling cauldron of some magic potion, which results in not only Bowser returning from the dead, but growing roughly three times his size.  

At the end, Bowser and his son fight Mario together, but Mario defeats them (again), sending the two into yet another pit. After the ending sequence, Bowser Jr. is shown dragging his unconscious father across the castle floor.  When he notices the player watching him, he shouts something and then continues on with his task.

==Gameplay==
===Controls===
[[Image:NewMarioFlagpole.png|thumb|150px|Mario, near the end of the level.]]
''New Super Mario Bros.'' is very much like ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in terms of gameplay, but new features have been added. One of two control options can be selected in the Options menu: Jumping with A/B and Running with X/Y, or Jumping with A/Y and Running with B/X. Mario is controlled with the D-Pad, and the Touch Screen is only required to activate the stored item, which is used in the same style as in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. When Mario enters a pipe to a secret area, the top screen and the touch screen are switched, and gameplay continues on the touch screen as long as Mario is in that area. In that case, the stored item cannot be activated.

===Moves and Items===
[[Image:Mario Firebro.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mario, shooting a fireball as a result of a Fire Flower.]]
The [[Wall Jump]] makes its first appearance in a 2D game since being introduced to 3D Mario games with ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In contrast to the 3D games, Mario has to slide down a wall for a considerable amount of time before being able to jump. This technique lets Mario or Luigi reach new areas by bouncing off the side of any wall or vertical object, and is useful for escaping from a fall down a hole. Mario has the ability to [[Ground Pound]] by pressing down when in the air, allowing him to smash blocks downward. There are different power-ups, like the [[Blue Koopa Shell]] that lets Mario travel like a kicked Koopa Troopa shell, the [[Mega Mushroom]] that makes the player grow about three to five times Mario's size (also seen in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''), and the [[Mini Mushroom]] which causes Mario to grow about half of [[Small Mario]]'s size. However, some items remain unchanged, such as the [[Super Mushroom]], and the [[Fire Flower]].

===Levels===
[[Image:NSMBw1.png|thumb|150px|Mario in '''World 1''']]
The game also features a world map, with different 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 just reaching the goal. Some are in clear sight while others are hidden in warp pipes, up [[Beanstalk]]s, and 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 blue [[Toad House]] will appear 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 40 [[Star Coin Gates]] have been opened. 
[[Image:Ss_nsmb_pre27.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Mario in the level 1-A, with all three Star Coins collected]]
Mario or Luigi only has to go through six of the eight worlds &mdash; after [[World 2 (NSMB)|World 2]], the player gets to either of [[World 3 (NSMB)|World 3]] or [[World 4 (NSMB)|World 4]], and the world following both of those is [[World 5 (NSMB)|World 5]]. After World 5, the player can get to either World 6 or 7 in the same fashion. Mario or Luigi must defeat the [[World 2 (NSMB)|World 2]] or [[World 5 (NSMB)|World 5]] bosses in Mini mode to instead reach [[World 4 (NSMB)|World 4]] and [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]], respectively.

Another secret is Challenge Mode. This means the player cannot scroll the screen to the left or downward. To unlock it, the player should go to the map screen (any world) and press START, L, R, L, R, X, X, Y, Y. It will also show an arrow pointing right on the world maps and levels touch screen. This means that the player cannot turn back in all the courses (including castles), which adds the feeling of the original game even more.

It is also possible to play as Luigi in single player mode by holding down L+R when selecting a file. There are no gameplay differences between the brothers. The character does not get locked in - 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 savegame. When the player has completed all levels, there are two stars next to it. When the player collects all the Star Coins in the game, there will be three stars on the save file.

==Mario vs. Luigi==
In this two-player mode, Mario and Luigi compete for a number of stars. Those stars will appear at random in the side-scrolling stages. The end of each of those stages is their beginning (basically, the stages are never-ending). When Mario or Luigi are hit by enemies, fall down or hit each other, they lose a star, which can then be again collected by any of the brothers. The first brother to reach the previously set amount of stars wins the game. When a brother has a certain amount of victories, he wins the match. The following stages can be played:

*'''Grass Stage''' - A stage that is much like World 1-1 of the single-player game, a meadow near [[Peach's Castle]]. It uses also many elements of World 1-1 form the Classic Super Mario Bros. This stage is a relatively simple stage with only [[Goombas]] and not many other enemies to worry about.
*'''Underground Stage''' - an underground stage much like World 1-2 of the single-player game, it has covered with many walls of blocks, and has several holes which may be fallen into. [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] should be very careful if they get a [[Mega Mushroom]] in this stage, as they can easily crush through the bricks that most of the course is made of.
*'''Ice Stage''' - a slippery stage located in World 5. [[Bullet Bills]] are hazards in this stage. There is also a Blue [[Koopa Troopas]] in this level; jumping on it will reduce it to being a [[Blue Shell]] which can be used.
*'''Pipe Stage''' - a pipe world located in World 7, it contains many [[Warp Pipes]] and [[Piranha Plants]].
*'''Castle Stage''' - the most hazardous level, located in World 8. It contains [[Bob-ombs]], and moving walls which can crush a brother to death, among other dangers.

==Trivia==
*Whenever music is played that has a vocal riff "bah", some enemies and power-ups move to the beat. This includes the Overworld, Athletic, Underground, Desert themes. This also happens in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
*If the player defeats the final boss after collecting the Star Coins in every world, none of the pictures shown in the end credits will say ''NEW''.
*In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', if the player finishes a level with the last 2 numbers of the time limit the same, the player gets the level complete soundtrack from the original ''Super Mario Bros.''.
*During the ending, if the player taps the letters in the credits, they will make sounds from the game, with each letter of the alphabet making a different sound.
*During Mario World in [[Dream Figure Skating]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', 3 Backgrounds from this game appear. They are [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]], [[Bowser's Castle]] and [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]]. Also, in the Wii version of the game, the same Star-theme plays as from ''New Super Mario Bros.''

==References to Other Games==
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''- There are two unlockable skins for the bottom screen that resemble something of that game. One shows an 8-bit Mario from that game, close-up. The other one is a secret unlockable skin and it features [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and  some [[Goombas]] all as they appear in this game, they are even in an area similar to the areas in this game. The overworld Multiplayer stage is based on [[World 1 (SMB)|World 1-1]]. [[Bowser]] and [[Dry Bowser]] are defeated the exact same way as in the SMB castles - by hitting the [[Ax]]/[[Skull Switch]] which makes the bridge he's standing on fall into the lava or a bottomless pit, respectively. The latter also applies to the final battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr.
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - One of the hazards of the Castle multiplayer stage is the moving roof that will crush players upon contact. This seems to be based on the fact that there were moving roofs in some of the SMB3 [[fortress]]es/[[castle]]s. Also, in Boss Battles, the Super Mario Bros. 3 boss music lintens. Also, the [[Bowser]] theme from here is heavily remixed into this game. The two games worlds are relatively similar.
*''[[Super Mario 64]]''- There are several characters from this game reappearing here, such as [[Dorrie]] and [[Sushi]].
*''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''- The characters reappearing from ''Super Mario 64'' are as they appear in this game.
*''[[Super Mario World]]''- One of the games in which the final boss theme is heavily remixed into this final boss theme.  [[Grinder (obstacle)|Grinders]] don't appear in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but spiked balls appear in the game, having the same function. [[Items]] can be held in a level, just like in the aforementioned game. Also, Small Mario can crouch.

==References to Later Games==
*''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' - The [[Mega Mushroom]] appears as an item. Also, Dry Bowser is a playable character.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' - The Mega Mushroom appears as a sticker. Plus, the main theme is one of the many songs in this game.
*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''- A sequel to ''New Super Mario Bros.''.

+'''''New Super Mario Bros.''''' is a side-scrolling platformer game exclusive to the [[Nintendo DS]], starring [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game Mario vs. Luigi, as well as a mini-game mode for up to four players. And players can access Luigi as a story mode (1 player) character if they press L and R and select a file at the same time. The multiplayer games support both single-card and multi-card play. The mini-games are mostly the same as those featured in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', with the difference that they do not need to be unlocked here.  The game received a sequel, which is ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
-''New Super Mario Bros.'' is the first ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' platformer to be originally released outside Japan since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. After its original release and the eventual release of a follow-up game for the [[Wii]] entitled ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' on November 12, [[List of games by date#2009|2009]], a dedicated sequel, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', was developed and released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] on July 28, [[List of games by date#2012|2012]].
-In [[List of games by date#2015|2015]], the game was rereleased on the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]].
 ==Story==
-[[File:NSMBintro.png|thumb|left|Bowser Jr. about to kidnap Peach]]
+[[Image:NSMBintro.png|thumb|Bowser Jr., about to steal Peach.]]
-[[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) and [[Princess Peach]] are walking together around [[Peach's Castle]], when a mysterious thundercloud<!--Please do not link Lakithunder here; that would be speculative at best.--> appears and strikes the castle with lightning, causing [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s to flee from the castle. Mario (or Luigi) goes near the castle to investigate, but while he is there, [[Bowser Jr.]] sneaks behind a bush, kidnaps Princess Peach, and flees, causing Mario (or Luigi) to chase after Bowser Jr. After chasing Bowser Jr. off-screen, Mario (or Luigi) takes a hit, reverting into [[Small Mario|his smaller form]]. Bowser Jr. runs away and Mario (or Luigi) continues to chase him.
+[[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] were walking together around [[Peach's Castle]], when a mysterious thundercloud (possibly [[Lakithunder]]) appeared, and struck the castle with lightning. Mario went to investigate, and while he was there, [[Bowser Jr.]] sneaked up behind a bush and kidnapped Peach. Mario followed, and Bowser Jr. dragged her behind him through eight different worlds.
-Two alternate versions of this intro can be seen if the player remains on the title screen menu for a certain amount of time. In one alternate version, after the part where Mario (or Luigi) starts chasing Bowser Jr., Mario (or Luigi) retreats from an incoming green [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]], and takes the hit off-screen. After jumping to hit the game's logo back into place, he continues to chase Bowser Jr. In another alternate version, [[Luigi]] walks into the scene before the green Koopa Shell follows after Mario. Mario and Luigi both run from the shell simultaneously, and take the hit off-screen. Mario then jumps to fix the game's logo and runs after Bowser Jr. Shortly after Mario runs off-screen, Luigi follows after Mario.
+[[Image:BowserJr and Bowser.jpg|thumb|150px||left|Bowser and Bowser Jr., on the final boss fight.]]
+The end of the first world has Bowser as its boss, unusually.  Even more surprising, after Mario presses a switch that destroys the floor and Bowser falls into the pit of lava, the king's flesh is burned off and he becomes a [[Dry Bones]]-like version of himself (Known as [[Dry Bowser]]).  Later, at World 8, Mario has to face this undead version of Bowser as the penultimate boss in the game. Dry Bowser falls into a pit, but Bowser Jr. somehow finds his father's bones, and he revives him by tossing his remains into a bubbling cauldron of some magic potion, which results in not only Bowser returning from the dead, but growing roughly three times his size.
-[[File:NSMB0.png|thumb|left|Bowser and Bowser Jr. in the final boss fight]]
+At the end, Bowser and his son fight Mario together, but Mario defeats them (again), sending the two into yet another pit. After the ending sequence, Bowser Jr. is shown dragging his unconscious father across the castle floor.  When he notices the player watching him, he shouts something and then continues on with his task.
-[[Bowser]] waits for Mario or Luigi at the end of {{world-link|1|castlen|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}. Mario or Luigi defeats Bowser, causing him to fall into a pit of [[lava]]. Bowser's skin is burned off and he becomes a skinless, [[Dry Bones]]-like version of himself, named [[Dry Bowser]]. Later, in {{world-link|8|castlen|World 8-Castle}}, Mario or Luigi defeats Dry Bowser and he falls into a pit. In {{world-link|8|bowsern|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, Bowser Jr. tosses Dry Bowser's remains into a cauldron, causing a resurrected and larger Bowser to break out of the cauldron. Mario or Luigi, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. then proceed to battle. Princess Peach is watching with fear from a platform above.
-In the end, Mario or Luigi defeats Bowser and Bowser Jr., sending them into another pit and saving Peach. Peach's platform disappears, allowing her to float down safely. Peach gives Mario or Luigi a kiss, which the hero responds to with a nervous chuckle. After the credits roll, Bowser Jr. is shown dragging an unconscious Bowser across the castle floor. When Bowser Jr. notices the player watching him, he growls at the player, then continues dragging Bowser.

 ==Gameplay==
-[[File:NewMarioFlagpole.png|thumb|left|upright=0.85|Mario, near the end of World 1-1.]]
+===Controls===
-The gameplay of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is very much like that of the classic 2D platformers, mostly ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and substantially builds upon them to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. One of the two control modes can be selected in the Options menu: jumping with {{button|ds|A}} '''/''' {{button|ds|B}} and dashing with {{button|ds|Y}} '''/''' {{button|ds|X}}, or jumping with {{button|ds|A}} '''/''' {{button|ds|X}} and dashing with {{button|ds|Y}} '''/''' {{button|ds|B}}. Mario is controlled with the {{button|ds|Pad}}, and the Touch Screen is only required to activate the stored item, which is used similarly to stored items in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. When Mario enters a pipe to a secret area, the top screen and the touch screen are switched, and the gameplay continues on the touch screen until Mario exits that area. During that period the stored item cannot be activated.
+[[Image:NewMarioFlagpole.png|thumb|150px|Mario, near the end of the level.]]
+''New Super Mario Bros.'' is very much like ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in terms of gameplay, but new features have been added. One of two control options can be selected in the Options menu: Jumping with A/B and Running with X/Y, or Jumping with A/Y and Running with B/X. Mario is controlled with the D-Pad, and the Touch Screen is only required to activate the stored item, which is used in the same style as in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. When Mario enters a pipe to a secret area, the top screen and the touch screen are switched, and gameplay continues on the touch screen as long as Mario is in that area. In that case, the stored item cannot be activated.
-The [[Wall Jump]], [[Triple Jump]], and [[Ground Pound]] make their first appearance in a 2D ''Super Mario'' game since being introduced to 3D ''Super Mario'' games starting with ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In contrast to the 3D games, Mario has to slide down a wall for a small amount of time before being able to do a Wall Jump. This technique lets Mario or Luigi reach new areas by bouncing off the side of any wall or vertical object, and is useful for escaping from a fall down a pit. Mario has the ability to Ground Pound by pressing down when he is in the air, allowing him to crush blocks under him. The game introduces several new power-ups to the ''Super Mario'' series: the [[Blue Shell]] which lets Mario or Luigi slide like a Koopa shell, the [[Mega Mushroom]] which makes Mario grow about three to five times his size (similarly to the mushroom seen in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''), and the [[Mini Mushroom]] which causes Mario or Luigi to shrink to about half of [[Small Mario]]'s size, allowing him to fit through tiny pipes and passages, jump higher and longer, and dash across the top of water. However, some items remain unchanged, such as the [[Super Mushroom]], the [[Super Star|Starman]], and the [[Fire Flower]]. As in the western release of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and most later games, Mario or Luigi does not power down to [[Small Mario|Small form]] if he is powered up with a Fire Flower or Blue Koopa Shell when he takes damage; he instead reverts to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], unlike in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario World''.
+===Moves and Items===
+[[Image:Mario Firebro.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Mario, shooting a fireball as a result of a Fire Flower.]]
-[[File:Unlock-Secret-Challenge-Mode-on-New-Super-Mario-Bros-Step-4.png|thumb|A text box for the hidden Challenge mode]]
+The [[Wall Jump]] makes its first appearance in a 2D game since being introduced to 3D Mario games with ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. In contrast to the 3D games, Mario has to slide down a wall for a considerable amount of time before being able to jump. This technique lets Mario or Luigi reach new areas by bouncing off the side of any wall or vertical object, and is useful for escaping from a fall down a hole. Mario has the ability to [[Ground Pound]] by pressing down when in the air, allowing him to smash blocks downward. There are different power-ups, like the [[Blue Koopa Shell]] that lets Mario travel like a kicked Koopa Troopa shell, the [[Mega Mushroom]] that makes the player grow about three to five times Mario's size (also seen in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''), and the [[Mini Mushroom]] which causes Mario to grow about half of [[Small Mario]]'s size. However, some items remain unchanged, such as the [[Super Mushroom]], and the [[Fire Flower]].
-The game features a secret [[Challenge (New Super Mario Bros.)|Challenge]] mode, wherein the player cannot scroll the camera to the left or downward, like in ''Super Mario Bros.'' It is only available when the player has completed the game. To unlock it, the player should go to the map screen (any world) and press {{button|gba|start}}, then press {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|ds|X}}, {{button|ds|X}}, {{button|ds|Y}}, {{button|ds|Y}}. It also shows an arrow pointing right on the world maps and levels touch screen.
-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.
-Within the levels, whenever the music plays a [[Paah|vocal riff]] (or in the case of the underwater levels, {{wp|bell tree}}s), some enemies and power-ups move to the beat. This includes the Overworld, Athletic, Underground, Desert, Beach and Volcano themes. Examples of enemy or object movements include [[Goomba]]s and [[List of Power-Ups|power-ups]] hopping, [[Koopa Troopa]]s turning to face the player, [[Spiny|Spinies]] switching direction, and [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s doing side flips. Goombas can actually dodge a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] with the hop. This also happens in every other game in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' line.
-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).
-===Mario Vs. Luigi===
-{{redirect|Mario Vs. Luigi|the [[list of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tours]] in [[Mario Kart Tour]]|[[Mario vs. Luigi Tour]]}}
-In this two-player mode, Mario and Luigi compete for a number of Big Stars. Those stars appears at random in the side-scrolling stages. The stages are wrapped, so players that cross the end of each of those stages loop to the beginning. When Mario or Luigi are hit by enemies, hit each other, stomp on each other, or are defeated, they lose a star, which can then be again collected by either of the brothers. Getting ground-pounded causes a brother to lose three Big Stars. The first brother to reach the previously set amount of stars wins the game. However, if lives are turned on, they will lose by losing all their lives as well. When a brother collects eight coins, a random power up appears – Mushroom, Fire Flower, Blue Shell, Mini Mushroom, Starman, or Mega Mushroom (which is only given to the losing player). When a brother has a certain amount of victories, he wins the match. The following stages can be played:
-*'''Grass'''<ref name=BattleLevels>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=121|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> - A stage that is much like World 1-1 of the single-player game, a meadow near [[Peach's Castle]]. It also based off of World 1-1 from ''Super Mario Bros.'' and has many elements of it. This stage is a relatively simple stage with only [[Goomba]]s and one [[Koopa Troopa]].
-*'''Bricks'''<ref name=BattleLevels/> - An underground stage much like World 1-2 of the single-player game. It has many walls of blocks and has several holes. The stage is very short. [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] should be very careful if they get a [[Mega Mushroom]] in this stage, as they can easily crush through the bricks and fall through the floor.
-*'''Ice'''<ref name=BattleLevels/> - A slippery stage that resembles levels found in World 5. [[Bullet Bill]]s are hazards in this stage. There is a spin block which can be used to access higher Big Stars as well as coins. There is a Blue [[Koopa Troopa]] in this level; jumping on it reduces it to being a [[Blue Shell]] which can be used.
-*'''Pipes'''<ref name=BattleLevels/> - A pipe world that resembles a level in [[Pipe Land|World 7]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', it contains many [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s.
-*'''[[Fortress]]'''<ref name=BattleLevels/> - The most hazardous level, resembling most [[castle]] levels in the game. It contains [[Bob-omb]]s and moving walls which can crush Mario and Luigi, among other dangers.

-''New Super Mario Bros.'' also features a selection of minigames, many of which are identical to those in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', but some new ones are also present. The games are not divided based on the characters that unlock them by catching [[rabbit]]s, and instead are divided into several categories. This game also features the option to either play several single player minigames, or play several multiplayer minigames, in which multiple players compete against each other in a series of minigames specially designed for multiple players to earn the highest score.

+The game also features a world map, with different 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 just reaching the goal. Some are in clear sight while others are hidden in warp pipes, up [[Beanstalk]]s, and 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 blue [[Toad House]] will appear 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 40 [[Star Coin Gates]] have been opened.

After World 5, the player can get to either World 6 or 7 in the same fashion. Mario or Luigi must defeat the [[World 2 (NSMB)|World 2]] or [[World 5 (NSMB)|World 5]] bosses in Mini mode to instead reach [[World 4 (NSMB)|World 4]] and [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]], respectively.

+Another secret is Challenge Mode. This means the player cannot scroll the screen to the left or downward. To unlock it, the player should go to the map screen (any world) and press START, L, R, L, R, X, X, Y, Y. It will also show an arrow pointing right on the world maps and levels touch screen. This means that the player cannot turn back in all the courses (including castles), which adds the feeling of the original game even more.
-===Overview===
-[[File:NSMBw1.png|thumb|upright=0.85|Mario in World 1]]
-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.
-Mario or Luigi only has to go through three of the eight worlds — using the World 1 cannon to go to World 5, and World 5 cannon to World 8. After [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]], Mario gets to either of [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]] or [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]], and the world following both of those is [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]]. After World 5, Mario can get to either World 6 or 7 in the same fashion. Mario or Luigi must defeat the [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]] or [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] bosses in Mini Mario form to instead reach [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] and [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]], respectively.
+It is also possible to play as Luigi in single player mode by holding down L+R when selecting a file. There are no gameplay differences between the brothers. The character does not get locked in - 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 savegame. When the player has completed all levels, there are two stars next to it. When the player collects all the Star Coins in the game, there will be three stars on the save file.
-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.

-===Bosses===
+==Items==
-There are nine bosses found in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', excluding the different versions of Bowser and Bowser Jr. encountered throughout the game. With the exception of Bowser, Bowser Jr., and [[Petey Piranha]], all of the bosses in the game are wholly new to the series.
+{|style="text-align: center; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"
+|- style="background-color: whitesmoke;"
-A majority of the bosses can be defeated by three [[stomp]]s, with a [[Ground Pound]] counting for two stomps. As [[Mini Mario]], Ground Pounding is the only way to damage them at all (and only does the same amount of damage as another form's stomp), as a normal stomp will make him harmlessly bounce off them. The exceptions are [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]], who must be Ground Pounded to damage it regardless of forms, and the three versions of Bowser, who are immune to stomps entirely and must be defeated by hitting a [[skull switch]] behind him to throw out the floor. All bosses also take damage from power-up abilities, like [[fireball]]s from [[Fire Mario]], the [[Blue Shell]] attack from [[Shell Mario]], and being attacked by [[Mega Mario]], though the amount varies.

He also tosses green [[Koopa Shell]]s at Mario, which can be grabbed and thrown back at him. When hit by a shell, Bowser Jr. falls helplessly onto his back, leaving him vulnerable to being hit. After this, he hides in his shell.

When Mario is in front of him, he sometimes dives down to stomp on him, slipping on the ice and landing on his back, stunning him and allowing Mario to stomp his belly. Whenever he is hit, he jumps around briefly before taking flight again. Defeating him normally unlocks World 6, while defeating him as Mini Mario unlocks [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]].

-|align=left|A large, mobilized [[Bill Blaster Turret]] that is piloted by a [[Monty Mole]]. The tank slowly moves right, occasionally shooting a [[Bullet Bill]] while the cannon rotates after Mario, while the Monty Mole occasionally emerges to throw a [[Bob-omb]]. Stomping the mole damages it and causes the tank to spin out of control while firing randomly for a few moments. For every point of damage the mole receives, the tank gets one added segment of cannon added to the top of it, for a total of three cannons - each of which can rotate independently, but can also be used as a platform to reach the mole.

After Bowser Jr. is defeated, Bowser starts attacking more frequently with giant fire balls in both blue and orange, often in large amounts at once. The only way to reach the skull switch is to wait for him to jump. Once again, he falls into a deep pit upon defeat.

+==Mario vs. Luigi==
-Items that transform Mario or Luigi's appearance and give him unique abilities.
+In this two-player mode, Mario and Luigi compete for a number of stars. Those stars will appear at random in the side-scrolling stages. The end of each of those stages is their beginning (basically, the stages are never-ending). When Mario or Luigi are hit by enemies, fall down or hit each other, they lose a star, which can then be again collected by any of the brothers. The first brother to reach the previously set amount of stars wins the game. When a brother has a certain amount of victories, he wins the match. The following stages can be played:

-===Objects===
+*'''Grass Stage''' - A stage that is much like World 1-1 of the single-player game, a meadow near [[Peach's Castle]]. It uses also many elements of World 1-1 form the Classic Super Mario Bros. This stage is a relatively simple stage with only [[Goombas]] and not many other enemies to worry about.
-Objects are interactable elements of the environment that cannot be picked up or collected. For objects that primarily function as obstructions or hazards, see [[#Obstacles|above]].
+*'''Underground Stage''' - an underground stage much like World 1-2 of the single-player game, it has covered with many walls of blocks, and has several holes which may be fallen into. [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] should be very careful if they get a [[Mega Mushroom]] in this stage, as they can easily crush through the bricks that most of the course is made of.
-{|class="wikitable"style="width:100%;text-align:center"
+*'''Ice Stage''' - a slippery stage located in World 5. [[Bullet Bills]] are hazards in this stage. There is also a Blue [[Koopa Troopas]] in this level; jumping on it will reduce it to being a [[Blue Shell]] which can be used.

-If the player taps the letters as the credits roll, they make sound effects heard throughout the game, with each letter of the alphabet making a different sound, except for letters D and E, which share the same sound (however, the letter Q does not appear at all during the credits). Punctuation marks also make sound effects. Tapping the background makes the sound effect of [[Mario]] jumping. If the player completes the game using Luigi, Mario's voice clips are substituted with Luigi's ones.

+==Trivia==
-*Masataka Takemoto
+*Whenever music is played that has a vocal riff "bah", some enemies and power-ups move to the beat. This includes the Overworld, Athletic, Underground, Desert themes. This also happens in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
-*[[Yasuhisa Yamamura]]
+*If the player defeats the final boss after collecting the Star Coins in every world, none of the pictures shown in the end credits will say ''NEW''.
-*Kosono Okina
+*In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', if the player finishes a level with the last 2 numbers of the time limit the same, the player gets the level complete soundtrack from the original ''Super Mario Bros.''.
-*Haruka Kakinuma
+*During the ending, if the player taps the letters in the credits, they will make sounds from the game, with each letter of the alphabet making a different sound.
-*Shinya Hiratake
+*During Mario World in [[Dream Figure Skating]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', 3 Backgrounds from this game appear. They are [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]], [[Bowser's Castle]] and [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]]. Also, in the Wii version of the game, the same Star-theme plays as from ''New Super Mario Bros.''
-==Critical reception==
+==References to Other Games==
-''New Super Mario Bros.'' received, overall, critical acclaim, with the most praise going to it being an excellent revamp and revival of the 2D [[Genre#Platform|platformers]], while still being a new and original game in its own right. IGN gave it a 9.5/10, saying the game "marked a brilliant return to Mario's side-scrolling environments, with elements that reintroduced the classic touch".<ref>{{cite|author=Harris, Craig|url=www.ign.com/articles/2006/05/06/new-super-mario-bros|title=''New Super Mario Bros.''|publisher=IGN|date=May 6, 2006|language=en|accessdate=May 25, 2024}}</ref> It was also given a high rating by GameSpot, who rated it 9/10.<ref>{{cite|url=www.gamespot.com/reviews/new-super-mario-bros-review/1900-6151365|title=''New Super Mario Bros.''

+*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''- There are two unlockable skins for the bottom screen that resemble something of that game. One shows an 8-bit Mario from that game, close-up. The other one is a secret unlockable skin and it features [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and  some [[Goombas]] all as they appear in this game, they are even in an area similar to the areas in this game. The overworld Multiplayer stage is based on [[World 1 (SMB)|World 1-1]]. [[Bowser]] and [[Dry Bowser]] are defeated the exact same way as in the SMB castles - by hitting the [[Ax]]/[[Skull Switch]] which makes the bridge he's standing on fall into the lava or a bottomless pit, respectively. The latter also applies to the final battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr.
-{|class="wikitable reviews"
+*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - One of the hazards of the Castle multiplayer stage is the moving roof that will crush players upon contact. This seems to be based on the fact that there were moving roofs in some of the SMB3 [[fortress]]es/[[castle]]s. Also, in Boss Battles, the Super Mario Bros. 3 boss music lintens. Also, the [[Bowser]] theme from here is heavily remixed into this game. The two games worlds are relatively similar.

-|9.5/10
-|''Admittedly there aren't as many gameplay innovations in New Super Mario Bros. as compared to previous [[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]] releases, but that's mostly due to the fact that much of platforming's innovations are related to 3D designs. But that said, this Nintendo DS release still proves that Nintendo still has some great ideas brewing for its plumber in his classic setting. There's an incredible amount of fresh, fun challenge to uncover in this revival.''

-|''Fitting, then, that Nintendo saved some of his finest moments for this diminutive game-card - which, along with the emergence of DS and [[Wii]], some have marked as a bookend to a period of dynastic chaos. The balance could yet shift again. But New Super Mario Bros., with its faultless controls, effortless variety and deceptive simplicity, argues that while market ratios can sweep back and forth and erupt and diminish in unexpected ways, the balance of ideas can always be relied upon to settle in one place: in the welcoming arms of a friendly little company from Kyoto called Nintendo.''

-|''Let's face it, 15 years is a long time to wait for a new 2-D Super Mario Bros. game, but the wait was obviously well worth it. Nintendo has managed to take everything great and fun from the previous Super Mario Bros. games, roll it all together, add a fresh coat of paint onto the whole thing and come out with one of the best platformers we've seen released in years, not to mention a game easily worthy of the Super Mario Bros. name. This could be the best Nintendo DS game to date, and one that should have no trouble doing what its' predecessors did, and that's selling a lot of Nintendo game systems.''

-In some demo versions used in kiosks during 2005, and in the E3 2005 trailer version, Mega Goombas were a generic species, rather than an individual boss. They appeared as difficult enemies, in one of the 2005 demos, as well as being a boss, similar to in the final game. A screenshot featuring of early map icons exists on page twelve of one of the final versions of the US manual. There were originally three item reserve spots rather than one. [[Spindrift]] was also supposed to be in the game, but got replaced by the blue spinning platforms in World 1-3 and other levels.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT2WAE4JdJ8|title=''New Super Mario Bros'' E3 2005|author=ravmn|date=November 18, 2008|accessdate=February 24, 2023|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref>
 ==Glitches==
-{{main|List of New Super Mario Bros. glitches}}
+{{main|New Super Mario Bros./Glitches}}
-===Above the ceiling===
-In World 2, 3, and 5-Tower, Mario must go to the top of the tower. Then, they fight [[Bowser Jr.]], and must stomp on him twice. Then, he goes through his usual routine trying to jump on Mario. Mario must time it right so when he jumps to the highest point, they can jump on him. Also, Mario must use the technique where they can jump higher off an enemy. He has to aim towards the ceiling, and, if done correctly, Mario or Luigi should be on top of the roof. The usual animation of Bowser Jr. running away shows and the Mario or Luigi face signal turns halfway because the player cannot see Mario.
-===Falling Bowser Jr. softlock===
+==Staff==
-In World 5-Tower, Mario should get to the boss, then walk to the edge while [[Bowser Jr.]] charges at him. If done correctly, Bowser Jr. charges off the platform. Then the screen zooms out to show an empty area. The only way to escape is to fall off the platform. Once Mario loses a life, the screen shakes and teleport them to the map.
+{{main|New Super Mario Bros. Staff}}
-===Mega Mushroom storing exploit===
-When Mario finds a "wild" [[Mega Mushroom]] in a level (1-1, 1-2, 4-4, and 7-5) (not in a [[Toad House]]) they must let the [[Mega Mushroom]] run to any unbreakable [[block]] (empty [[? Block]], empty [[Brick Block|brick]], etc.). He must jump against the [[Mega Mushroom]] and the [[block]] in the same frame. When done right, the character does not become Mega. Instead, a [[Mega Mushroom]] is put as Mario's [[item storage|Stored Item]].<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o2bXXsMyUg|title=TAS New Super Mario Bros. - 2 Mega Mushroom Glitches|author=mindnomad|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 25, 2024|date=November 1, 2009|language=en}}</ref>

-==Differences from previous ''Super Mario'' games==
-*In the previous ''Super Mario'' games (particularly [[Nintendo Entertainment System|8-bit]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|16-bit]] ''Super Mario'' games), when Mario picks up a 100th [[Coin]] for a 1-Up, the [[1-Up Mushroom]] sound cancels the Coin sound. Instead, in this game, the Coin and 1-Up Mushroom sound play together whenever obtaining a 100th coin. This feature is also present in future ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games.
-**In addition, the "bump" noise when hitting a block/wall, or a shell bouncing off is also the same as the 8-bit ''Super Mario'' games. In later installments, the "bump" noise is given a new one.
-*Mario's moveset has been upgraded to include some of his 3D moves, such as the ground-pound or the wall jump.
-==References to other games==
-*''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' - The respawn jingle from this game plays in the [[#Mario Vs. Luigi|Mario Vs. Luigi]] mode when Mario respawns from defeat. [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] and [[World 8-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-6]] contain [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s that Mario and Luigi can hit from below to knock over enemies walking on top of them, similarly to one of the main gameplay mechanics of ''Mario Bros.''
-*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' - There are two unlockable skins for the bottom screen that resemble something of this game; one shows a close-up of 8-bit Mario and Luigi sprites, and the other one is a secret unlockable skin and it features [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and some [[Goomba]]s in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]]. The overworld Multiplayer stage is also based on World 1-1. In the end of [[World 1-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]], there is a hidden path over the ceiling before the final [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that leads to a secret pipe, which is a direct reference the same secret in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|the same level]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Bowser]] and [[Dry Bowser]] are defeated the exact same way as in the castles in this game - by hitting the [[axe]]/[[skull switch]] which makes the bridge he is standing on fall into the lava or a bottomless pit, respectively. The latter also applies to the final battle against Bowser and Bowser Jr. The color scheme of the [[Mega Mushroom]] in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' is the same as that of the [[Super Mushroom]] in this game. If Mario finishes a level with the last two numbers of the time limit being the same, the "level complete" theme from this game plays in place of the normal one. A cover of this game's death theme plays when Mario loses a life. The first four levels' settings of the game are very similar to those of this game: the first level takes place in a grassy field, the second takes place underground, the third takes place up high on trees/giant mushrooms, and the fourth is a tower/castle level with a boss waiting for Mario at the end. The music in the [[Toad House]]s is a cover of this game's ground theme. Also, if the player presses {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|ds|L}}, {{button|ds|R}}, {{button|ds|X}}, {{button|ds|X}}, {{button|ds|Y}}, {{button|ds|Y}} while in the pause menu on the map, then Mario can no longer backtrack in levels, like in this game. In the minigame [[Danger, Bob-omb! Danger!]], the background music is an arrangement of the castle theme from this game. The sound effect for when Mario or Luigi slides down the [[Goal Pole|pole]] is reused, albeit reversed. Other sound effects are reused including the coin, stomp, bump, fireball, jump and warp pipe/power down sounds.
-*''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - One of the hazards of the Castle multiplayer stage is the moving ceiling that can crush players; this seems to be based on the moving ceilings in some of the [[fortress]]es in this game. The world themes are similar to the ones in this game. [[Toad House]]s return. When Mario is taking on a castle boss, the music is a cover of the boss theme from this game. [[Bowser Jr.]] fights like [[Boom Boom]] did in this game. [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]] is based on [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 8-1]] in this game, with both levels featuring haunted battlegrounds filled with [[Boo]]s and [[Bill Blaster]]s. The Toad House theme is arranged in the minigame [[Bob-omb Reverse]]. The Spade Bonus theme is also arranged in the minigame [[Wanted!]].
-*''[[Super Mario World]]'' - The [[item storage|Item Stock]] returns from this game. A Monty Mole, which first appears in this game, appears as part of a boss called Monty Tank. Wigglers also appear in the game. [[Grinder]]s don't appear in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but spiked balls appear in the game, having the same function. Also, this game features [[Pipe Cannon|Warp Pipe]]s that can shoot the player into the air like [[Cannon]]s. The jump sound effect is reused when Mario or Luigi jumps.
-*[[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] - The [[Lightning]] item was once considered for Mario Vs. Luigi, retaining its ability to shrink the opponent player.<ref>{{cite|date=May 24, 2005|title=Mario Comes Full Circle In New Super Mario Bros.|url=www.pressthebuttons.com/2005/05/inew_super_mari.html|publisher=Press The Buttons|accessdate=April 9, 2024}}</ref>
-*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' - The sound effects for defeating Piranha Plants, the switch timer, and collecting Red Coins, including the distinct sound for the last red coin, all come from this game.
-*''[[Super Mario 64]]'' - There are several characters from this game reappearing here, such as [[Dorrie]] and [[Sushi]]. Some of the Mario Bros.' techniques, such as the [[Triple Jump]], the [[Wall Jump]], the [[Ground Pound]], and the [[Swim|Flutter Kick]], are also brought to 2D ''Super Mario'' games starting from this game. Also, a few voice clips are reused, like "It's-a me, Mario!", and "Here we go!" The theme used for [[Invincible Mario|Invincible Mario/Luigi]] is the same as the theme for [[Wing Mario]] and [[Vanish Mario]] in this game. Bowser's voice effects in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' are his computerized roars and growls from the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] era. In all follow-ups to this game, he uses his modern voice clips as provided by [[Kenny James]]. [[Chain Chomp]]s can be freed by [[Ground Pound]]ing their posts three times.
-*''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' - The artwork for the [[Blue Shell]] is edited from the artwork for the various shells from this game.
-*''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series - The sound effect that plays when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] collects a [[Super Mushroom]] is reused from these games.
-*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' - [[Bowser Jr.]] reappears as the main antagonist in this game. The instruction booklet even says, "Didn't Bowser Jr. once think Peach was his mother?", referencing this game. When Mario enters [[Petey Piranha]]'s room, (for the first time, from the beginning), who first appears in this game, the cutscene that plays mirrors the beginning of his second battle in [[Bianco Hills]]. He is found sleeping peacefully only to be disturbed by something (in this case, Bowser Jr. jumping on him) and, enraged, starts to fly. During the card minigames, the music from [[Casino Delfino]] plays, but without the saxophones and whistling. Based on the background, it is very well possible that these games take place in Casino Delfino. The [[Monty Mole]] boss of [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]] attacks Mario by throwing [[Bob-omb]]s and shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s from a cannon-bearing machine, like the Monty Mole boss of this game.
-*''[[Mario Party 4]]'' - The [[Mini Mushroom]] and [[Mega Mushroom]] return with the same function as in this game, albeit with different designs.
-*''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' - [[Pokey]]s use their design from this game. Also, some character voices come from this game.
-*''[[Mario Party 6]]'' - Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach's artwork is reused for this game.
-*''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' - The characters reappearing from ''Super Mario 64'' look as they do in this game, and many assets were pulled from this game - models and textures, the invincibility music track, some sound effects, and several enemies, such as [[Scuttlebug]]s, which debut in 2D ''Super Mario'' games here, using their behavior from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Additionally, the [[Mega Mushroom]] grants the same effect as grabbing a [[Super Mushroom]] in this game. Most of the minigames in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' return or are edited from this game. The Mario Vs. Luigi mode is very similar to this game's [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS mode|VS mode]]. When the Nintendo DS is opened and closed, Mario says "It's-a me, Mario!" and "Buh-bye!", respectively. Also, ''New Super Mario Bros.'' runs on a heavily modified version of this game's engine.{{ref needed}}
-*''[[Mario Kart DS]]'': The [[Blooper]]'s and [[Dash Mushroom|Dash]]/[[Super Mushroom]]'s designs originate from this game and become their standard designs in subsequent games. Furthermore, the main games in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' (Mario Game and Mario Vs. Luigi) use similar fonts for the body text elements from this game.
-==References in later media==
-*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' - The Mega Mushroom appears as a sticker. Plus, the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' ground theme is one of the many covered songs in this game.
-*''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' - The [[Mega Mushroom]] appears as an item and using it is accompanied by the same music from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Dry Bowser is a playable character.
-*''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' - A cover of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' castle music is used for the [[Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)|Bowser Castle]] stadium.
-*''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' - This game is an indirect follow-up to ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Some text in ''New Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s instruction manual is reused in this game's instruction manual (for example, the ''Blunders and Game Over'' section).
-*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' - The [[Blue Shell]] reappears. The [[Mega Mushroom]] also appears in one of [[Broque Monsieur]]'s attacks.
-*''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' - The World 1, Bowser's Castle and Peach's Castle backgrounds used in the Mario World routine of [[Dream Figure Skating]] in [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|the Wii version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' are based on their appearances in this game. A rearrangement of the Ground Theme can also be bought in the music shop. In [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|the Nintendo DS version]], the Athletic Theme appears as the third song in the Mario Medley in [[Ultimate Figure Skating]].
-*''[[Fortune Street]]'' - Like in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', there is a cover version for the castle music in the stage [[Bowser's Castle]].
-*''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' - The direct sequel to ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Also, this game's two secret worlds, World Mushroom and World Flower, are automatically skipped, similar to World 4 and World 7.
-*''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' - A sequel to the follow-up, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Bowser and Bowser Jr. are fought at the same time in the final level again.
-*''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' - The lava level music is partially covered in this game.
-*''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' - [[Super Pyoro]]'s logo incorporates elements of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' logo.
-*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' - Bowser Jr. was involved in the transformation of Bowser and Dry Bowser similar to in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', although the main difference is that it was in reverse (and was unintentional on Bowser Jr.'s part).
-*''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' - The "''Super Mario Bros.''" part of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' logo is used in the logo for [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]]. A "[[paah]]" and the P Switch music are arranged in the track "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom".
-*''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' - The "''Super Mario Bros.''" part of the game's logo is the same one present in the logo for ''New Super Mario Bros.'' [[Goal Pole (secret)|Secret Goal Poles]] with red flags and black bases return. Bowser Jr.'s boss fights function similarly to the boss fights against himself, but without the ability to retreat inside his shell when he is about to get stomped. [[10-flower coin]]s act as the equivalent of [[Star Coin]]s, behaving identically with three to collect in every normal level. [[Baboom]]s function similarly to [[Kab-omb]]s, also exploding into [[fireworks]] when defeated.

Later ''Super Mario'' platformers use the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' variant of the pipe sound to indicate damage, while still keeping the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' sound effect for pipes.
-**Likewise, the [[Coin]] sound in this game is very similar to the Coin sound from the 8-bit ''Super Mario'' games, whereas in later games in the series, the sound effect sounds closer to that of ''Super Mario World''.
-**Likewise, this is the last game where the [[Goal Pole]] has a skull on the flags. Starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Bowser's emblem is used.
