New Super Mario Bros.
NEW Super Mario Bros. is a side-scrolling game starring Mario and Luigi. It will be released for the Nintendo DS on May 15, 2006. It is much like the original, but the characters look more 3-D, and it takes place in a whole new world. Almost every Super Mario Bros. character is back, like the Bullet Bill and Banzai Bill, the Goomba, Lakitu, Cheep-Cheep, Blooper, Bomb-omb, Koopa, Buzzy Beetle, etc., and there are new ones, too. As usual, 100 coins still gains you an extra life. One thing that's new is that this game brings a 3-D move into the 2-D world— the Wall Kick! This technique lets you reach new areas for more exploring! You will also have the ability to ground-pound once again, so you can smash blocks downward. Also, there are more power-ups, like the Blue Koopa Shell that Mario can use as a shield and the Massive Mushroom, and it still has the old ones too, like the Super Mushroom and the Fire Flower. To sum it all up, New Super Mario Bros. is an awesome platformer. The game will also feature a world map, different and secret paths(like Super Mario World), and a multiplayer mode where you and another friend can have a friendly battle between Mario and Luigi, or you can work together. You will also have the ability to store 3 power-ups on the touch-screen after Mario or Luigi already have a power-up.
Story
We know little about the game so far, but we do know that Princess Peach has been kidnapped(once again) by Bowser and Bowser Jr. with the Koopalings. As we all know, Mario goes to save the day.
