A perfect handheld game!

Seriously, who doesn't love Mario. This one of the first new traditional side scrolling Mario adventure in a good while. I had to buy it. Got it for $15 used. Soo....

Story: You know the drill, Princess Peach is captured by Bowser and his minion and Mario must go save the day! Not much of a narrative, I agree, but it's classic.

Graphics: An interesting take on a side scroller. It's 3D graphics within a 2d context. I think it looks great, especially when Mario goes super size! It's a classic, colorful Mario adventure.

Sound: Of course all the famous Mario music from previous games has returned! It's just as good as ever.

Gameplay: Typical Mario, you do alot of jumping, be it on platforms, or enemy heads. Their are alot of power ups as well such as, fire mario, mini mario, turtle mario, ect. that make the game more fun. Also, I can't forget the great catalog of mini games within the game. They will keep you busy and competing with friends for hours!

Overall: A great addition to your DS in the classic Mario >
