New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Mario Bros.


The Super Mario Bros. Series has had impressive level design and creativity. Nintendo wanted to bring that back to the gaming world. Did Nintendo Succeed or was it a fad?



In this game Mario is at it again in an all new 2D adventure. That classic game was enhanced with 3D enemies, Blocks,Map, and even Mario. Also in the game new power ups were added. Such as the Mega Mushroom, and Koopa Shell. However the Mega Mushroom can make levels easy and makes it a very easy game to complete. This game has very little secrets, accept for the Luigi Secret.(press L+R+A while choosing your file) A positive in the game is the three star coins placed throughout each level. Later you use the star coins to unlock toad houses. Also in this game, Nintendo added some more Super Mario Bros. Music that show progress throughout series but still keeps the mood of the classics. The level design in this game is near perfect as you encounter a different obstacle in each world. The game is loaded with boss battles and the creativity put behind them. However the boss battle are very easy and require little to no skills. However, the levels in each land are longer and each world introduces something new. New Super Mario Bros. combines old with new to make a fantastic game.

Super Mario Bros. 2:Lost Levels

Super Mario Bros. 2: Lost Levels


In 1988 Nintendo created Super Mario Bros. 2; Lost Levels but replaced this game with Super Mario Bros. 2. Should Nintendo have replaced it?


In this game Mario plays the same role as in the first accept the levels are different and the death-shroom was add it the mix. Unlike the Super Mario Bros.2, Mario and Luigi are the only playable characters and the classic enemies return as well as the item blocks. The graphics between Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2:Lost Level, are very similar, however the background is a little different. Another similarity between the two is the level designs and secret rooms. The controls also stay the same throughout the Mario Bros Series.The music holds the same charm during game play and the story also is the same. The length is eight worlds but the game saves itself between worlds. Bowser also rules the fourth level in each world with the original bridge battle. The difficulty though is much harder that the first and can be hard for inexperienced players. Overall, I found this game to be the real Super Mario Bros. 2 because this game adds to the original but keeps it great!
