How can the legendary Super Mario be in oblivion when other games are thronging the gaming market? The New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS Lite is a spectacle. The story line is as simple as it has been throughout the franchise and with time, the graphics have witnessed a sea of change. The princess gets kidnapped by Bowser Jr. and the onus is on Mario to do the rescue act. He does not have any special powers but kills his enemies by jumping on their heads. There are eight worlds in the game and the difficulty levels keep rising with each passing world. For those who have grown up playing Mario, blazing through all the worlds will be like walking in the park. Those playing it for the first time will thoroughly enjoy doing it.

There are underground stages and undersea stages apart from the desert and the ice world. The visuals are simply captivating and keep reminding you of those days when you played Mario on those simple consoles. New Super Mario Bros. DS will remind you of the days when those two buttons would be your only play option with one used for running and the other for jumping and spitting fireballs, when Mario got that ability. The walls can be used for sliding down. Mario grows up to completely occupy the screen when he consumes the mega mushrooms and runs through obstacles like a colossus. Buy it for the sake of its legacy and that being a gamer you would have also grown up on it. You can play it on the Nintendo DS and relive the old times.

‘Up above the world so high, like a Mario in the sky’. Yes my dear Nintendo players, your cute little super hero Mario will now have fun up in the air, in the Galaxy. This time his reason for being in the space is to save princess Peach. Some creatures kidnap princess peach and escape into space. Mario, trying to save princess peach, chases them to the galaxy. During the chase he explores many creepy planets which will make you laugh your heart out.

Mario has to rebel against gravity and collect as many stars as he can in the hopes of saving the princess and the galaxy as well. The Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) version has already been a huge hit, and now the iconic title has finally made its way to the DS Lite. You can now make the best use of your DS by pressing buttons, swinging and even pointing at and dragging things with the pointer. With this you may run, jump and have a playful time while fighting with the enemies. This game would allow you to make full use of all the features of your DS.

As Mario is in space you will witness him doing some stupefying jumps. He also has a few new moves and strengths in store for you, that can be discovered in the game. So join Mario as sets off into outer space to save his Princess peach and discover a new world.

SonikDude reviews Mario Party DS for the Nintendo DS Lite. Mario Party DS is surprisingly a great game that feels like the classics on the Nintendo 64.

An excellent and traditional game review of Super Mario 64 DS.  If it’s been awhile since you’ve played the original game, then you should pick it up, otherwise there’s not quite enough change in the game to warrent buying it.  But still, the reviewer gives it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Now, he gives a good review, but I would suggest a wardrobe change and memorize your review so you don’t look like you’re reading a script.

PlayFunGaming reviews Super Mario Brothers DS.  It is on an older DS instead of the DS Lite, but should still give you a good idea of how it is.

Not quite as good as Mario Kart 64, but…the graphics are beautiful, the sound is great and the controls are very smooth. Online play is excellent and overall Mario Kart is a must have DS game.
