FANTASTIC GAME FOR KIDS
This is a great re-make of the original Super Mario Brothers. It is mostly the same as the original except it has improved graphics and some slight changes. I loved this game as a kid and my kids love it now. I think most kids will enjoy playing it very much. There are so many different levels that it will take them some time to beat the game. It is nice also being on the DS since it is portable. Kids could play it on the bus on the way to and from school. Or when you go on a road trip to give them something to do. I absolutely give it five stars and this is a must have in my opinion.

Disappointed.
I found many of the worlds to be a lot harder than the castles. And once I figured out that big Mario beat Bowser in one fell swoop, I lost all interest in the game. I didn't stick along long enough to finish the game. If you like the challage of Super Mario Brothers 3, don't buy this one.

Excelent game
Mario is the only reason why my kids want a DS over the PSP... they are happy with this game.
