New Super Mario Bros. review

 First off, if you have already played Super-Mario (the first version of Super-Mario), you should know that New-Super-Mario is almost the exact same thing. You can be Mario, or play as Luigi (to play as Luigi you have to hold down the L and R buttons as you select which file you want to play).

It does, however, have some new things. For instance there is a mini-mushroom that make you tiny, a mega-mushroom that makes you huge, and a blue koopa-shell that lets you slide back and forth to kill goombas or koopas. And the same old power-ups, like the fire flower to throw fire balls to kill goombas and koopas (you can't kill dry bones with it), the Super-Mushroom so you can be super mario, and the star-power, which makes you invincible.

However, if you have not played super mario, you are sure to love this game!! It is an adventure game full of puzzles, avoiding goombas (brown mushroom things with legs that you can see on the front cover), koopas (turtles, also on the front), and stomping on dry bones (skeleton koopas, and that comes back to life after a few seconds you stomp on it). Not to mention swinging on ropes to avoid falling into lava, climbing fences to avoid touching fast rising lava, and jumping over pits, plus fight about 14 bosses.

But to make sure to get as much as fun as you can get from this game, make sure you unlock world 4 and 7. To unlock lock these words, you have to go through world 3 (for world 4) and world 6 (for world 7). The only way to unlock them is to get the mini-mushroom, and defeat the final world 3 boss being mini mario to get to world 4. To get to world 7, you have to do the same thing, but beware, it is VERY hard to be mini mario and deafeat the boss in world 6 to get into world 7.
