    It's been more than 20 years since Super Mario Bros. first arrived, and now Mario and Luigi are back in an all-new platformer for Nintendo DS. Boasting incredible 3D graphics to accompany classic 2D gameplay, this fast-paced adventure will have Mario fans cheering. New Super Mario Bros. features eight all-new worlds, each filled with extra levels, hidden paths, and secrets galore. It's possible to complete the game without visiting every world, which means you'll have to track down many alternate exits to visit every nook and cranny in the game..

  • @SolracDude
    @SolracDude Před rokem +934

    I feel something that goes a bit unsaid here is how many of this game's levels only work because it's 1 player. Going forward the series would be largely marketed as a multiplayer game and that required a completely different take on level design, leading to areas being much more spacious among other things. Changing the player count inherently changes the game and that sort of lead to this game being even more unique compared to it's derivatives.

    • @AC32896
      @AC32896 Před rokem +35

    Experiencing this game upon release in high school was a formative memory for me. There are countless tales of people sitting around the cafeteria talking about games and hidden secrets in the 90s, but NSMB was that game in the mid 00s. I have the fondest memories of this game, and the hype was so real when it came out.

    NSMB is easily my favourite in the "New" series. It's the most experimental and takes the most risks, and the level design feels compact and everything feels like it has a purpose. By comparison the console entries especially often felt sparse and empty. I actually prefer NSMB2 over Wii and U for similar reasons, however it's no where near the pedigree of the first game. In fact, NSMB feels more like SMB5 than part of the New series, and for that I love it. It's also a huge bonus that NSMB has unique bosses, along with challenges like beating said bosses with the mini-mushroom. Why the sequels never tried something unique like this instead of Koopaling/Bowser Jr fights is beyond me.
    My personal series rating:
    NSMB
    NSMB2
    NSMBWii
    NSMBU
    (U is the only game I never finished because I was so bored by the level design)

When I was out of ICU and into a regular room, my brother let me borrow his 3DS and this game to help work on strengthening my hands and motor skills. I struggled at first but wound up finishing the game and moving (save for that horrible eel) every second of it. It will always hold a special place on my heart.

    Idc what people say about this game being bland or not really new, this still is in my 3x3 games list and forever will be. First game I ever played in my pov still holds up the same fun energy it had when I was a child

      I agree with that but the point is that this isn't gonna last in like 2 generations more, like a new "new super Mario " would not be as good as the other games and people would get bored.

    This would be what got me into Nintendo as a kid. When I was growing up, I didn't have a DS. Didn't really think I was missing out at the time. But my cousins had theirs as well as this game. So one day when we went over to their house, I got to try this out and immediately fell in love with it. I even got into watching Mario flash animations and everything after that. I still wouldn't get my hands on a personal copy for another 2-3 years, but when I finally did, I played the hell out of it. Excellent presentation, great soundtrack, smooth controls, it's aged really well in my opinion. Plus I can always boot it up and play the first world or so if I ever just want to feel like a kid again.
    Great episode as always, Jirard. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    My favorite Mario to complete, the super Mario style reserve item keeps things breezy, the secrets let you skip ahead / double down depending on what you're feeling, and the smaller levels + coin holes (on the bottom screen) help make 100% completion very doable.

    New Super Mario Bros DS was my first new 2d mario game. Having first played Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros 3, i was ecstatic when this came out and man 8 year old me was blown away. That trilogy of New DS, Galaxy, and New Wii got me through some rough times in our household and i will forever fondly remember those as such.

    This was probably the first DS game I played, and the first video game that I bought with my own money. Got a lot of good memories trying to find all the secret exits in World 7. I still think that it's the best of all the NSMB games, although Luigi U does come very close in my personal opinion. Solid video and review!

    It's funny that you open the video by saying that this was the first 2D Mario game in a while when it came out because my first exposure to Mario was a 3D platformer with Mario Sunshine. So while I had seen and played a little bit of the classic 2D Mario games. This game was my first 2D Mario game that I ever completed. Holds a very special place in my heart.

    I remember the first time I played this game. It was June of 2006, and two of my older brothers took me to go see Cars in theaters. About an hour and a half before showtime, we stopped by GameStop to buy this game and DS Lite. We decided to sit in the theater auditorium early (it was a hot summer and we wanted air conditioning), taking turns playing the game.

    New SMB was paramount in 2006 to reintroducing 2D games and especially 2D Mario games to a younger generation. It's hard to comprehend for us older gamers who lived through mountains of 2D platformers in the 80s and early 90s, but most of these kids from the mid 1990s onwards had only really played 3D games. It also really kickstarted the renaissance of 2D games, atleast in the indie sphere, which had been very dead since developers believed they would never get funding for a 2D game anymore. We might be living in a very 2D less world today without this game being as successful as it was, especially with generation Z.

    This and the Wii New Super Mario Bros were the last 2D mario games I played (I tend to suck at 2D platformers so these games were the cutoff before I decided that the only ones I enjoy are the games I'm nostalgic for.) I don't have any regrets in not picking up any other 2D games after, but I have a lot of nostalgia for this game and it's predecessors, so I'm glad to see you reviewing it, enjoying it and learning about your own nostalgia for the game 😁

  • @TightPantsJack

    I believe the mini games were the same throughout all the Mario DS titles because Nintendo wanted players to still link up and play them with each other, no matter what Mario game they had between them.

    I've always really enjoyed this game. It's my favorite 2D Mario. it just feels really nice to play- super responsive, physics that are easy to grasp, a nice pace, etc. Yeah, maybe they went overboard pumping these games out after this but this first one? There's really nothing wrong with it. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's really fun to play.
    I remember Nintendo Power hyping this game up too and that really got me excited. It was really celebrated as this return to Mario's past...crazy how far we've come. I kinda hope they do make another NSMB at some point.

  • @ClaireZhasa

    Despite not having played the game in well over a decade, probably even longer, I still actually remember a good portion of the game and the Luigi code (albeit not even close to complicated) has remained embedded in my brain since the day I learned it.

    God, I forget about this game all the time, but it was such a blast as a kid. I beat it so many of times and still put two or three times as much time into the multiplayer with my brother and my step-sister. More than any other game, this really defines a huge period of my childhood. I still wouldn't put it in my top five games, or even my favorite mario game- that goes to galaxy- but it still was amazing.
