Fun for Father and SonSep 02, 2010 I am 36 years old. My son is 6 years old. We both play this and have a blast. I have played all the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii Mario games. This game utilizes everything from the earlier SMB games and adds some new things. It has levels that pay tribute to old levels (ie: 8-7 is different but reminiscent of 8-7 in the original SMB). There is even a level that has floors similar to the original Mario Bros arcade game. In my opinion, this is the best 2D Mario game out. The level design and fun factor in this game is off the charts. In fact, it inspired me to get some old classic handheld mario games...Super Mario Land 1,2, and 3 and the Wario Land games for the GB/GBC. I've heard great things about those and I'm looking forward to playing them.
In case anyone is wondering...this is a different game than New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii...they both contain completely different levels. The Wii version allows up to 4 players to play on the same Wii at the same time...it's a fun game, but I like this DS game better.
There are 3 save slots, so my son has his own save and I have my own. He loves the game but has trouble after world 3, so I have to help him through some of the more difficult parts. He loves the minigames and begs me to play them with him. If you have 2 DS systems and 1 cartridge, then you can play the minigames against each other which is fun. I can't say I love the minigames as much as he does, but they are fun, quick, and it makes him happy. I just finished the main game a few minutes ago and it was a blast from beginning to end.
Each world is easy enough for casual gamers to get through and there are 3 coins in each level to collect...collecting all these coins gives more challenge for the more advanced gamer. The game got more difficult around world 6, so I went back through the earlier worlds again to collect those coins and to build up my extra lives. Then I came back to finish the game. To complete the game, you only have to go through 6 of the 8 worlds...the other 2 worlds have to be unlocked somehow.
Now that I completed the game, I need to go back and collect all those coins and unlock the two worlds I haven't gotten to yet.
mario bros ds gameAug 25, 2010 really good game and some better features than the wii game, such as being able to retain fire mario, ice mario, flying mario, penguin mario suits if you already have one.
Quite funAug 13, 2010 I haven't finished the game yet, but so far this is the best game I own. The only thing is that World 1 & 2 without dying once. I recommend this game, though.

Mario Bros.Aug 10, 2010 We got this as our first Ds game for Christmas one year. there are 8 worlds to conquer with individual places to win to move on the the next to conquer that 'world'. anyway it's a pretty fun game for boys and girls and maybe adults too. pretty fun game.
