new super mario bros

[testtubebaby]

has anyone played this yet... i like it, but it certainly isn't the amazing title i thought it would be. seems kinda like super mario bros. 3d (meaning that it's a lot like super mario bros. 3, now with 3dish graphics). doesn't really hold a candle to the masterpiece that is super mario world.

i didn't think so at first, but i absolutely love it now. i'm slowly on my way to 3-starring the game, and going back and really exploring the levels has been a blast.

it's a perfect blend of 1, 3, World, and 64.

is this a ds, or gamecube title??

[testtubebaby]

ds, yo

[thecreeper]

must get this soon. fuck. need more money.

[squirrels2nuts]

i just bought this with the ds lite. pretty fun, still in the first world.

[thecreeper]

i just hit world 8...in super mario bros 3. i have to say, these mario advance re-releases are a lot of fun. a good primer for NSMB.

[squirrels2nuts]

oh wow eh
if i wanted to play mario 3 i'd do the ol' nintendo blow on the cartridge thats bigger than the entire dsl instead of spending more money on old games. is it really that hard to make a fuckin new mario game that they have to rehash the ones from 20 years ago?

[thecreeper]

well i didnt pay for this...a certain testtube member gave it to me awhile back...

[squirrels2nuts]

fuck, this game was so easy. it's like it was made for children or something.
maybe ill buy mario 64 ds and get all 128 stars again. duno why i sold that game... still have my trusty dusty ol' n64.
anyone ever beat mario 2 without cheating or without saving in mario allstars? that game was fuckin hard without any continues.

[Marshall]

I beat mario 2 without continues.

I got really really good at mario games, i dont understand it.
I went through NSMB in about 4 hours or so. I beat it the day i got it which disappointed me a bit. It was still fun.

I used to take my SP to classes and play mario 3. I can beat the game in about 12 minutes now. I can run through the original in about 15.

[raublekick]

yeah, complaining about NSMB being easy is pretty much a null statement to me. they are all pretty easy and can be beaten rather quickly. but they are all mega fun and well worth playing over and over and over.

i just beat mario 3 over the weekend for the first time. i have to say, it's probably my favorite one of the big 4 (mario bros 1-3, mario world). i do wish it had some more secrets though like mario world. once you beat the game, it's pretty much over. and i dont have an e-reader, so i can't unlock any of the secret levels.

i beat mario 3 this morning on my nes. 8) but i still think super mario world is the best. also, yoshi's island holds a special place in my heart. i may even like it better than mario 3. but back when mario 3 was new, wow was that amazing.

[thecreeper]

but did you use warp whistles?

without them, it's a pretty decent challenge. the second to last castle maze gave me some serious headaches before i found the end.

bowser's a fucking joke in mario 3 though.

and i would say yoshi's island is the most solid game of all of them, but it not all that much a mario game. it feels like more of the beginning of the yoshi series of games.

i really want to get mario advance: super mario bros 2 now. i haven't beaten that since i was 10.

[testtubebaby]

speaking of spin-off series... anyone play super princess peach and have an opinion on it?

today i did, though i've beaten it without using them quite a few times (i've had the game for years and years now). the hardest level for me is #1 in world eight--not the tank, or any of that shit, but the one that is just number 1. i think it's the first one after you beat the airship and go through the pipe. i usually use a p wing to beat that level. the next one (in the desert with the sun) and everything after that is pretty simple.

that one is kinda tough. the castle i was talking about was really frustrating since i wasn't cheating and didnt know where the exit was.
